The Anti-Aging Body Serum I Never Knew I Needed I'll be honest: When I first heard about body serums, I thought they seemed like a pretty unnecessary addition to my already packed post-shower routine. Why in the world would I slather on a serum before my body-lotion-and-sunblock combo? It's not like I had the luxury of whiling away my mornings on a chaise lounge as I waited for my skin to absorb a bajillion products.
But that was before I learned that most body serums pack anti-aging ingredients and I got my hands on L'Occitane's Almond Velvet Body Serum, $56. Not only does this light, non-greasy formula sink into my skin immediately, but it provides a healthy dose of vitamin C, a crucial antioxidant found in plenty of anti-aging facial serums. And when you live in a land of perpetual sunshine like Los Angeles -- where your skin is constantly exposed to harmful rays due to a year-round wardrobe of tanks, shorts and swimsuits -- it becomes especially important to take preventative measures to preserve every inch of your skin.
Since this product leaves my skin supersoft -- not to mention fragrant, thanks to its delicate powdery scent -- I can skip the moisturizer if I'm in a rush, making this time-saving anti-ager a necessary staple in my routine. --Rose Curiel
