Argan Oil

I received this Josie Maran Argan Oil ages ago. My initial thought? WTF is argan oil? Always curious to try new beauty products I searched the box in hopes of some directions on how to use this strange serum, but all I got was an obnoxious “use it everywhere! split ends, cuticles, dry skin, everywhere!” or something along those lines.

I stored it in the back of my medicine cabinet with the premonition that I would at some point use this thing. Fast forward four months to today and it’s now in my daily beauty rotation. I’ve been battling some unfortunate breakouts this summer (gotta love NYC’s heat, dirt, humidity, and inevitable sweat) and have been trying all sorts of different products to make them disappear. Turns out, this argan oil may just be my ticket to clear summer skin.

Just before I go to bed I dabble a droplet of the oil onto my outbreaks and come morning, I’m telling you (!), they’ve cleared up. I may still have a bit of redness from the skin irritation, but all that icky stuff is g-g-g-gone.

Sometimes you just have to take your chances with a beauty product.
