100% Organic Argan Oil - Josie Maran


This is my new beauty obsession. I didn't want to blog about it too soon because I wanted to make sure that my excitement wasn't premature. I've been using this for about 3 weeks now and every day, my skin gets better and better, from the inside out. This is 100% Organic Argan Oil by Josie Maran. No wonder this is her line's best seller. First of all, I love Josie Maran. She is a former model and I always thought she was drop dead gorgeous, in a natural way. When I found out she had a 100% natural product line, I knew I had to try it. Pure Argan Oil is very hard to come by. A lot of products boast that they have pure argan oil in them, but it is rarely 100%. Josie imports the stuff from a women’s cooperative in Morocco and it’s 100 percent pure, which means it’s blessedly free of fragrance and dyes. Just 2-3 drops is enough for a deeply hydrating daytime/nighttime treatment. This is sometimes referred to as "Liquid Gold", a highly coveted beauty secret of the women of Morocco for centuries. The oil contains more than half the amount of vitamin e that olive oil does and is known for its anti-aging and healing properties. I use this in place of my regular moisturizer and on my cuticles. My blemishes disappear very quickly after I apply this oil. My skin is soft, dewy and supple. For the past three weeks, I have to say, my skin has looked better than it has ever looked. I don't want to get too excited and replace my other moisturizers for this one until the results last a little bit longer, but I am so very amazed by this product. I just take 2-3 drops and deeply press the oil, rubbing it all over my face and neck. It also comes in a stick form, Josie Maran's Argan Oil Moisturizing Stick, which is perfect for spot treating dry areas. I have both; I keep the stick with me in my purse and I leave the (recyclable) glass bottle of oil at home. I also use the stick as balm on my lips and it's wonderful. Don't be put off by this being an oil; I was hesitant at first, too. But it's so light, absorbs into the skin so well and leaves it so unbelievably moisturized, that it is hard to believe it's oil! This is truly a magical elixir!
