A lot can happen in 28 days.
Like, there could be a zombie apocalypse in England (you know what movie I’m talking about, don’t lie!!).
You could also get softer, smoother skin, and perhaps L’Occitane’s new 28 Days Divine Renewal Program ($130) can help with that.
It comes with 28 individual treatments of essential oils for more luminous, regenerated skin — one set of seven for each of the four weeks in a span of 28 days, which coincides with skin’s natural 28-day renewal cycle.
Each week in the program has a different focus.
- Week 1: gentle exfoliation. Pistacia lentiscus, or “mastic tree” essential oil, acts as a gentle exfoliator by encouraging the skin’s natural process of shedding to result in softer, smoother skin.
- Week 2: hydration and nutrition. A unique blend of four vegetable oils combine with cistus essential oil help nourish and hydrate the skin.
- Week 3: balance. Myrtle and rosemary essential oils work together to improve skin’s overall well-being.
- Week 4: renewal. Carrot, cypress and immortelle essential oils work to improve the visible signs of aging for a glowing complexion.
I’ve just about finished my first cycle of the program, and I have to say — I like the results.
My biggest skin dilemma lately has been hydration — rather, my skin’s complete lack of it — and the oils have helped. My skin feels softer and nowhere near as dry as it was before I started the program, and I also see a slight improvement in luminosity, although it’s been subtle…
No breakouts at all, though, during the program, so whoop-whoop!
The program is available now for $130 at L’Occitane counters, stores and online.
And um…it’s also potentially available right now FOR FREE, thanks to L’Occitane and today’s giveaway. 🙂
One lucky MBB reader will win the complete 28 Days Divine Renewal Program (a full set of the essential oils) to try at home.

Jerylle Guanso says
February 19th, 2015 at 9:07 pmI’ve been eating a lot of sugary foods lately, and my skin is showing it. There’s huge red painful bumps on my face. Ooh gurl, I need to get my diet in tact. But besides that, I’m still an oil slick, and my skin has some acne scars around my cheeks and chin. Trying to fix them, but it’s a long process. *sigh* Anyways, thank you for the giveaway, dear.
Katie says
February 19th, 2015 at 9:10 pmmy skin had been SO DRY and nothing is helping it. Dry and sensitive is horrible. My makeup sits horribly no matter what so I’ve just been forgoing it

Vanessa says
February 19th, 2015 at 9:20 pmMy skin really needs some help. It’s been clear for years. Then I turned 25, and it’s finicky and blemish prone.
dawn says
February 19th, 2015 at 9:21 pmI think my skin is happy right now. That’s sure to change now that I’ve publicly stated that…
Lauren G says

Julie Simpson says
February 19th, 2015 at 10:03 pmI live in Michigan and between the dry. Cold air and turning 51 I don’t know my own skin anymore. During my modeling years my skin stayed hydrated but…. Now I have to work at it! I love L’Occitane products especially the hand cream. Great for for the leather gloves.
Jen says
February 19th, 2015 at 10:05 pmI love L’Occitane’s hand creams. I also have a Vanilla perfume from them which isn’t bad.
Jessica says
February 19th, 2015 at 10:11 pmWould LOVE to try L’Occitane! Thank you for all of your work, laughs & kindness!
Megan says
February 19th, 2015 at 10:13 pmMy favorite is their hand cream. I really need to figure something better out for my skin – winter has made it SOOOOOO dry. This sounds like a good option.
Marisol N says
February 19th, 2015 at 10:15 pmMy skin has been so dry lately. I find that as I get older (sob!) it’s harder to manage.
Sabrinna says
February 19th, 2015 at 10:22 pmOooh this will be great! Harsh winter air has not been nice to my skin! And glad to know there’s no breakouts!
Cindy says
February 19th, 2015 at 10:35 pmThis sounds interesting, I’d like to try it – I wonder if it’s safe for rosacea/sensitive skin . . .
Melissa says
February 19th, 2015 at 10:39 pmSounds nice. For that price though, I wouldn’t buy it for myself.
Alicia says
February 19th, 2015 at 10:41 pmMy skin has been so dry this winter! My makeup doesn’t even go on smooth anymore. 🙁
Ms. Elise says
February 19th, 2015 at 10:46 pmI’m about to run out of my current moisturizer (which I think has been causing small cystic acne in random spots) so I’m totally in for trying something new. I don’t know if I’d buy it for myself, but I might buy my favorite of the oils in the set.
Shora says
February 19th, 2015 at 10:53 pmI love L’Occitane products! Can’t wait to try this one
Holly says
February 19th, 2015 at 10:53 pmWhat a gorgeous set of deliciousness!! I’m particularly interested in the exfoliation (Exfoliating oils? Who knew?) & the balancing oils. Whoever wins this is a lucky person! 😀

Boo says
February 20th, 2015 at 5:45 amIt is advertised as anti-aging, but do you think it would work against other problems such as redness, breakout patches and dry patches?
Elizabeth says
February 20th, 2015 at 5:45 amMy skin is very dry. This set looks nice. I like their hand creams too.

February 20th, 2015 at 6:46 amMy first introduction to L’Occitane was in 1997. My mother-in-law gave me a beautiful gift box with assorted products from L’Occitane. I’ve enjoyed their products ever since then.

Carolyn says
February 20th, 2015 at 7:09 amI’ve never tried anything from L’Occitane. Now that I’m in my 30’s my skin and hair has gone nuts so I would really love to find something that is good to my skin and I love oils. Even if I don’t win this I’m pretty tempted to try it anyway!

Cassandra says
February 20th, 2015 at 8:01 amLong time lurker and first time commenter 🙂 I’ve gotten a sample of the Immortelle Precious Cream, and it’s incredible. I think it’s literally transforming my skin! It does wonders for my sensitive, slightly dry (winter! argh!) acne prone skin. Do you think this is worth it, price tag and all? I’m no stranger to spending money on skincare sadly, I’d do almost anything for great skin!!

Tatiana says
February 20th, 2015 at 8:14 amI’ve been on a sugar/chocolate binge (chocolate cake, peanut butter chocolate ice cream, imported Cadbury chocolate bars) and my figure and skin are now paying for my indulgence. At least I started exercising more regularly now. The detox begins right now! More green tea, more water, less junk. Still can’t break the habit of kissing my kitty’s belly fur. Oh my, all that soft, fluffy, sweet smelling belly fur!

February 20th, 2015 at 2:19 pmI am in love with L’Occitane products. I first got to use the serum as part of a test group for Hearst magazines and couldn’t wait to get it retail. I paired the moisturizer with it and my esthetician told me to keep doing what I was doing. What greater praise can the product get than that. I got my hands on a small sample of the Divine oil and it’s heavenly, but the price just went up. Boo hoo! My manager says the shea butter hand lotion is the only thing that keeps her hands from cracking and burning in the winter. Her daughter works near one of the boutiques. How wonderful would that be.

As for the Divine Skin Renewal program, I have used exfoliating masks and exfoliating scrubs..but exfoliating oils?!?! Whatever will the clever folks at L’occitane formulate next!

3. All I’ve kissed are frogs. My husband is a frog price and that’s as close as it gets to a fairy tale 🙂

Johnna Quick Owens says
February 20th, 2015 at 9:53 pmMy skin is having issues, and I can’t seem to get to the root of the problem. I usually have very clear skin, rare breakouts, no clogged pores, no bumps or uneven spots. Lately though, I am breaking out horribly on my cheeks, the tone is uneven and the skin is bumpy, and it is only on my cheeks under my cheekbones. I was using contouring products, bronzer on occasion, and blush, so I have stopped using all of the above, and am impatiently waiting for my skin to go back to normal. This sounds like exactly what I need to speed up the process!

Freya says
February 20th, 2015 at 10:54 pmI have little tubes of L’Occitane hand cream in every room of my house, 1 in my purse & 2 at work. I hate why my hands feel dry or have that tight feeling, especially after I wash dishes or wash my hands (which I do a million times a day because I’m a nurse & a mom). Plus after wearing latex gloves all day my hands feel so gross & I need to smother them in creams & lotions. But my favorite eye cream of all time (which actually works) is from L’Occitane. I don’t remember what it’s called off hand (it’s in my bathroom & I’m way too lazy to get up right now) but it’s in a little dark blue jar & it’s a miracle worker.
In reference to my skin, well, it’s been very naughty lately. It’s very dull & lackluster. Suddenly it’s combination when it’s been normal for the last 39 years & it just feels rough. Ick! I exfoliate a few times a week. I’ve tried countless masks, peels, serums, moistuizers, face washes, etc. I’ve tried all the things. No improvement. Nada. Actually there’ll be a slight improvement for a short time & I’ll think I’ve found the golden ticket, the magical combination of products that gets my skin back on point but the good skin days don’t last long & I think I need something stronger than what I’m doing without doing anything too invasive. Preferably something from L’Occitane that I win in a contest (just sayin).
I hope this reply pleases the Great Tabby Overlord & I’m chosen to win this most magical of prizes :)!

February 20th, 2015 at 11:28 pmI tried a new scrub and I think my skin didn’t like the ingredients at all because just after one use my skin if really dry! Now I have to moisturize it constantly.

February 21st, 2015 at 8:16 amI’m sad that L’Occitane recently changed the packaging/name/formulation of my favorite scent, Roses et Reines (Roses 4 Reines). Boo.

February 21st, 2015 at 10:22 amA comment about anything you say? XD
Well, I adopted a chinchilla in need of a new home yesterday, and it’s been so exciting. I have a good deal of experience with rodents, but chinchillas are pretty new to me and he keeps surprising me with all his quirks! I didn’t know what chinchilla barking sounded like until the sound woke me up from a nap today. It was very disorienting for a moment! I’m working very hard to learn everything I need to know about the species as quickly as I can. So far, it’s been very rewarding ^_^

February 21st, 2015 at 11:10 amAfter somehow discovering the sorceress known as Caroline Hirons, I have been really into skincare and taking care of my occasionally problematic skin. On the bright side, I’m now actually committed to doing crazy things like washing my face every night. On the down side, I want all the cleansing balms and face oils I see.
Alexandra says
February 21st, 2015 at 1:43 pmI really love L’occitane’s almond line! They smell amazing!
DeeDee says
February 21st, 2015 at 2:04 pmI’d love to enter to win this set. It’s snowing right now in CT and temps range from zero to 15 . . . moisturize and shovel and clean boots is about all we get to do. Every single day! I so much enjoy your blog and the updates on Tabs too.
Christy Peeples DuBois says
February 21st, 2015 at 2:06 pmSince I have very oily skin I do not know if I should use this but my Mother or oldest daughter would love too if not me. I have heard great things about L’Occitane products but I have not tried any yet. I hope to remedy that soon. Thanks so much.

February 21st, 2015 at 3:43 pmYour bare skin is SO beautiful Karen! Absolutely glowing! I’ve been working on bettering my skin rather than just covering it but this weird weather we’ve been having has me oily and dry and flaky all at once, ugh.
Susan P. says

McCartney says
February 21st, 2015 at 6:53 pmI bought some of these products years ago, a hand lotion a balm of some sort and some samples, via QVC the lotion was very soft & silky. As far as my skin right now, it’s so dry, my face that is… I’ve never had dry skin; but now it kinda feels like sand paper, I’m not sure why?
Have a nice day…

Audrey H. says
February 22nd, 2015 at 11:54 pmMy son gifted me a set of Loccitane hand creams, I adore them and theyve really helped my hands feel comfortable this winter. I also use to have a lovely shea lip protector in mango that I was so great, widh they still had it.
Laura says
February 22nd, 2015 at 11:57 pmOoh, fingers crossed! I’ve been considering whipping up my own facial oil cocktail to boost my beloved Guerlain oil.
Fun fact I recently learned (I had to see it to really believe it)- hydration can help reduce breakouts! What I mean is that you can totally reduce a breakout with extra hydration. At least, it worked in my case. So now I’m researching more facial oils.
Masha Russia says
February 23rd, 2015 at 7:34 amI certainly would like to be part of this giveaways entry – the packaging is cute! Not sure if I would agree to purchase at a full price, unless it is truly a magical product!

Dana Stargazer Truitt says
February 23rd, 2015 at 6:57 pmMy resolution is to keep up with the way of life I adopted. Let me explain: See last month marked my goal of 40lbs lost!! I changed my life entirely by stopping eating certain foods, as well as giving up soda…wahhhh!! I walk 2 miles every morning and do 30mins of cardio every evening. Now there are plenty of great side effect to weight loss. 1- The wonderful self confidence I got from completing such a monumental goal. I have been carrying that baby weight for years! Back down to 155 yipee!! The one bad side effect is that none of my clothed fit me any more!! Wahhh!! I’m happy about the shopping of course, but my wallet is not!! I want to get to 140 lbs and be tone and healthy, and keeping this new lifestyle permanently will help me to do so. I’ll be crossing my fingers!!
Joan B. in S. C. says
February 24th, 2015 at 10:40 amCongratulations, Dana! Sounds like a great problem to have. When I get to that 40 lbs gone, I’ve promised myself to get into thrift and consignment shopping to lighten the load on my wallet.
Dana Stargazer Truitt says
February 24th, 2015 at 4:19 pmYeah I’ve been shopping on websites like Poshmark and Tradsey, I love to do some consignment shopping myself!!
Cynthia Richardson says

February 24th, 2015 at 1:52 amI’m new to the Loccitane line of products, but so far, I love the brightening hand cream, and the entire Divine line of skin care. After just a few weeks I can really see an improvement in my almost 50 year old skin.
Sandy Bonesteel says

Trude says
February 24th, 2015 at 10:43 amMy skin has been crazier than ever this winter. I guess it’s the post-30 changeup? I have super dry patches on my cheeks but still can get the occasional pimple in my t-zone. I recently invested in Kiehl’s midnight recovery serum, so far that’s helped but not quite enough.

Amanda says
February 26th, 2015 at 12:28 pmMy skin is cranky about winter and the accompanying dryness, so I would LOVE to win this treatment!!!
Erica K says
February 26th, 2015 at 1:46 pmThis is just a great concept!
I like the whole sciency side behind it, with your skin cells completely renewing every 28 days. it’s like a month to a new face!
Stacy says
February 27th, 2015 at 10:43 amI am a huge fan of loccitane divine line and have seen significant results using the cream, but it is just too pricey to repurchase at the moment. I would love to try out this set, THANKS!
LAURIE MURLEY says
February 27th, 2015 at 7:00 pmI would love to try this, I should have took care of my skin earlier now I’m paying the price for not doing it sooner.
