Promise:

You probably can't think of the last time you even spent $200 on a single beauty product. $200 is a lot of money! But what if I told you that $200 would make your skin as soft as the highest thread count luxury silk sheets? La Mer's newest body oil balm is for your skin, and you won't regret the $200 splurge.

La Mer loyalists know the magic of the brand's best-selling "Oil of Renewal" (opens in new tab). It's a silky, balm-like, reworked extension that instantly melts into a luxurious oil upon contact with the skin. It is truly a magic trick for the skin. There are levels of "moisturizing" and not all moisturizers are on the same playing field. This concentrated balm uses the patented Miracle Broth, which is found in all La Mer skin care products. The soothing scent of orange flower, soft floral, woody, and tea makes applying this balm feel like an aromatic, spa-like experience

. But it's not greasy and sticky; it's a smooth, buttery veil of moisture that lasts for hours. If you have particularly troublesome dry spots, this balm also acts as a calming treatment for angry skin. Basically, it's a balm that fell from heaven.

Why I'M OBSESSED:

I'm a big believer in giving my body the same respect I give my face. We extol the virtues of 10-step skin care, but what about the attention we give to the skin beneath our face? The rest of the body needs the same nourishment, and lotion is not enough. Body oils are truly revolutionary in terms of calming the body and mind before bed. I take the time when I get out of the shower to give my tired body a sensory experience before bed. I press out a generous amount of this balm and rub my hands together to activate the silky viscosity of the oil. After warming the oil in the palms of his hands, he starts with his feet and works his way down to his neck and shoulders, making sure no stain is left behind.

It will soak into the skin in seconds. When it's done, your skin feels like it's had the best massage ever. I am a nighttime shower person, but when I wake up in the morning, my skin is just as firm and glowing as it was the night before. If anything, my facial skin doesn't even feel as hydrated as my body after this balm has become a part of my routine.

If this balm makes my skin glow this much in the winter, just wait until summer comes. This glow will be uncontrollable. Beware.
