Josie Maran 100% Pure Argan Oil Review

Today I want to take the time to share some thoughts I have about a product I have been putting to the test since Christmas. I'm talking about Josie Maran 100% Pure Argan Oil. I have noticed this product a million and one times, but always seemed to pass by it. So it was to my surprise I find it in my stocking at Christmas-perfect! I was over the moon excited and what's even more strange is the plane ride home from Canada I pick up a magazine and settled in to read- it recommends this product for my skin type. Fate?

For those of you who don't know I fall victim to very very dry and abundantly sensitive skin. It has been a battle I have fought my whole life, but I am finding that every year I get older my dryness becomes a little more irritated. So I am always on the hunt for products that holy grail solution.

Now I am really rather picky about what I put on my skin- I would say more so for the past 5 years. Don't get me wrong I love trying new things, but I really research them before diving in head first. So after much research I decided to try this argan oil and see what the hype was about. Was it just a beauty trend or does it actually work when put to the test?

Let's jump back a bit. Argan oil is a derived from a nut that can be found in the Morrocan dessert and is considered 'liquid gold'. It contains fatty acids esssential to our hair, skin, nails and is loaded with Vitamin E. A powerful, but gentle oil that has recently seen alot of hype in the beauty world. You see it as an ingredient somewhere down the ingredient list in quite a few beauty products. Is that enough to make a difference? I want to lean towards no, but Josie Maran's 100% Pure Argan Oil is just that and there isn't a single ingredient more. So I was more inclined to have faith this product would have some benefits that could be seen or felt.

It's organic, free of synthetic fragrance, vegan, and paraben free. All a plus in my books. So I did something completely crazy and unheard of for those of us with extremely dry skin. I stopped using moisturizer. I know right?! I wanted to see how powerful this product was and if it could really do what the claims say. I will tell you I was super nervous and it's a bit freaky putting a straight up oil onto your skin- even with a dry skin type. I was worried it would clog my pores and I was going to have a massive skin freak out. So with much hesitation I began using only this as a way of hydration and after the first application my skin felt amazing. No tightness, no clogged pores- it just felt great.

As I kept using it my skin started to have this amazing glow and the break outs along my jawline- from some over indulgent Christmas feasting began to clear up. I was shocked.

I have been applying it morning and night since Christmas and I can honestly say if you have dry skin you NEED this product. It is a game changer and I definitely will keep this in my skincare routine. Another bonus to using this product is the versatility. You can use it not only on your skin, but your hair, cuticles- they even claim it's so pure you can eat it.

Use it solo or add it to your favorite skin and hair products. It was truly a unique experience and one I am so happy that I tried. Now I am even more curious about this line of products and am so impressed I will definitely be going back for more.

Have you tired any Josie Maran beauty products? What did you think?
