Ready for a skin smoothing, luxuriously scented treat for warm weather skin? Then it must be Suzanne aux bains Nourishing Body Millk ($30). Lightly scented with Chamomile, Lavender and Incense essential oils, this creamy-dreamy body lotion is a sweet little indulgence for the skin.
The first time I used Suzanne aux bains Nourishing Body Milk I really didn’t put much thought into it, until later that is.

In drier winter months a body cream or butter provides us with a thicker, richer form of hydration for the skin. In warmer seasons we need to switch to something lighter and more regenerative. Suzanne aux bains uses Jojoba oil for deeply penetrating hydration and Lavender honey to gently exfoliate the skin.
