Battle Of The Argan Oils

Argan oil this, argan oil that... I seem to hear so much buzz about the amazing Argan oil. So what is the deal with argan oil and why is it so wonderful? Most importantly, what products are worth purchasing? I will break it down for you!

Argan oil has been said to have been the secret of women of Morocco for centuries and has been used for its nutritional and cosmetic benefits. 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. It is good enough to eat!

Argan oil can be used on the skin and hair as a moisturizer and revitalizer. With this said, how do you know which argan oil products really work? I have tried a handful of hair oils made of argan oil and I have to say that Moroccan Oil is by far the most amazing on the market! My hair will look smooth and silky and I will forget how I was able to maintain it and try another product on the market. In just a week or two my hair is missing the amazing Moroccan Oil and will look dry and brittle at the ends. The smooth texture never left my hair looking too oily and really seemed to work. I did not find the shampoo and conditioner as amazing, but maybe that is just me? Living in a dry climate in Colorado and having long hair that reaches past the middle of my back, I can't live without my Moroccan Oil!!

I am not one to bad mouth products, but I did not have great experience with 4 other Moroccan Oils/ Serums on the market. I really gave them a chance and used them on average of over a month. I still think Moroccan Oil is the best by a long shot!

My mascara, which I rave about constantly, is GOGO by Josie Maran and contains "Morocco's Liquid Gold" or argan oil. I love how gentle this mascara is to my eyes and never leaves them irritated or unatural looking. The best part is that the argan oil has been so moisturizing to my lashes that they look so much more lusturous and people are constantly asking me if I am wearing false lashes. I have only tried one lash growth product and will never do it again! My eyes have never been the same and seem to be irritated with most products after trying the growth serum. So thumbs up to argan oil in my mascara!!

I also found out just weeks ago that argan oil helps to regulate sebum production in the skin. This means less oily skin!! I thought this may too good to be true, so I have been using the Josie Maran Bronzing Serum and SPF 40 Natural Daily Sun Protection during the day. I didn't really notice anything dramatic for about 2 weeks, then without really noticing right away I realized that I did not have to touch up as early in my day and I didn't look like I had applied baby oil all over my face by 11am. I am sold!! Almost 6 weeks later I am still loving this combo and have been touching up less throughout the day.

I love a good hand cream, but I am actually a really simple girl and an all in one product means the world to me. I end up using the Josie Maran Argan Oil Solid many times during the day on my lips, cuticles, as an eye cream, for added shine or "dewyness" on my skin, knees, elbows, you name it!! It works so well and is really my new favorite eye cream. I like to rub the solid between my fingers to warm it and then apply it wherever needed.

I sound like I am affiliated with Josie Maran or receive some sort of compensation from them the way that I rant and rave about the line. I can assure you all that I have no affiliation what so ever and have never received any kind of compensation. I am simply telling you this out of love for the product. The same goes with Moroccan Oil!!

Ciao!
