Beauty News: Fall Skin Care From Josie Maran

October 27, 2015 / No Comments

The weather is cooling down and fall is here! Cold weather means dry skin. To avoid this, it’s important to exfoliate your skin at least 2-3 times a week in the shower and follow up with a body butter. Exfoliation removes dead skin cells clogging the skin and uncovers fresh new cells below. This allows for skin care products to penetrate more deeply into the skin, making them more effective. Regularly exfoliating will leave your skin looking revived and healthy. Josie Maran’s Argan Sugar Body Scrub and Whipped Argan Oil Body Butter are perfect to use in your exfoliating routine. And don’t forget about your hands! Keep the Whipped Argan Oil Intensive Hand Cream by your bed to remind you to use it every night before you go to bed!

Whipped Argan Oil Body Butter (full size: $35; travel size: $12): A decadent body butter featuring 100% Pure Argan Oil whipped to perfection. This effortlessly lightweight body butter revitalizes skin by offering deep, long-lasting hydration and powerful antioxidant nourishment and protection. Featuring a range of exquisitefragrances, the uniquely creamy butter leaves skin soft, smooth, and delicately scented. Available scents include: Vanilla Apricot, Sweet Citrus, Lavender, Red Rooibos, Cucumber Aloe, Honeysuckle Vanilla, Jasmine, Ginger, Tropical Orchid, and Apple Crisp.

Super Size Whipped Argan Oil Intensive Hand Cream ($40): An ultra-hydrating, never-greasy hand cream infused with 100% Pure Argan Oil and shea butter to revitalize skin and restore softness while improving skin’s texture. Available scents include: Sweet Citrus and Vanilla Apricot.

Argan Sugar Balm Body Scrub ($38): A unique body scrub that hydrates as it exfoliates. Uncover softer, rejuvenated skin with Argan Sugar Balm Body Scrub from Josie Maran Cosmetics. Infused with Josie’s 100% Pure Argan Oil, this gentle exfoliator offers a mixture of sugar, coconut oil, and shea butter blended together into a soothing, skin-softening sugar balm that leaves skin softer, smoother, and glowing with health.
