Clarins Body Treatment Oil: Body oil that does important stuff, too

I'm kind of crazy about products with oil in them right now. I can't get enough of the facial ones from Liz Earle and Darphin, I use this random oil I bought in the Middle East on my hair, and now Clarins is making these Body Treatment Oils that make me feel all swoony. Why they're all so damn fabulous...!

There's Tonic, a "stimulating" and "toning" mixture that supposedly helps minimize stretch marks. Don't kill me, but I don't have any stretch marks so I can't tell you if it works on that front (or back, as the case may be), but I can give you the list of essential oils it's formulated with: geranium, hazelnut, rosemary, sage, peppermint and rosewood. How freakin' delicious does that sound? It would be the best gift ever for a new mother to rub on her tummy. (For soon-to-be mothers worried about stretchmarks, check out this belly oil.)

Next up is Anti-eau, that's supposed to help with bloating and water retention. (Since I drank like a very large fish last night, this came in handy, let me assure you.) This blend has marjoram, lemon, geranium and broom, the latter of which deals with water retention. Again, it smells out of this world amazing.

But my absolute favorite is the Relax version, which helps with fatigued muscles and cramps, plus the aromatherapy design is geared toward chilling you the eff out. Guess what? Maybe it's just in my head but I think it really works. The lineup here is chamomile, geranium, basil, hazelnut and petit grain oil, whatever that is. And as long as it's not some ingredient that's causing massive environmental destruction then I really don't care, as long as it works.

P.S. They also all dry really nicely, so your skin is satiny soft, but not slick. We like that, right?

Find out what other oily (in a good way) treats that we've been falling in love with.
