Product Review—Skin Care: Josie Maran Argan Cleansing Oil

This fifty-something skin of mine prefers gentle handling these days. I have reconciled that my reckless ways and days of  skipping cleansing at night because “I’m too tired” or over-doing the scrubs are over.  I have taken a soft hand with my skin, using milder products with stronger ingredients.  Make sense?  Hope so.

The first step in any skin care regimen is cleansing, and my current cleanser of choice is Josie Moran Argan Cleansing Oil. L.O.V.E.

About Josie Maran Argan Cleansing Oil:

A gentle, all-natural cleanser with nourishing argan oil.

What it does:

This multitasking cleanser removes makeup and skin impurities while providing deep hydration. Almond, safflower seed, and grape seed oils cleanse the skin’s surface and renew the complexion, leaving it healthy-looking and refreshed. The non-greasy texture leaves skin feeling moisturized, never tight or dry.

What else you need to know:

This product is ideal for all skin types. An effective natural cleanser, argan oil restores the skin’s natural moisture and pH balance. It is produced from the argan tree in the semideserts of Morocco. Rich in vitamin E and essential fatty acids, this organically grown ingredient is known to prevent skin dehydration, inflammation, hyperpigmentation, and excess production of sebum.

 Why I love it:

Well, first off, when I pulled the bottle out of the box, the clean clear bottle let the contents speak for themselves. I love that I can see clearly what I am putting on my face.  Upon using this oil the first time, the results were just lovely.  My skin was clean, not taught or stripped.  Amazingly enough, this cleanser removes makeup in addition to excess oil and dirt. After using, my skin looks and feels moist and my color is bright and vibrant.

I massage this Argan oil cleanser into my skin, across my eyes to remove makeup and then add a bit of water to make a lightweight emulsion.  Rinse and voila clear, clean skin.
