ARGAN OIL QUESTION

autumnnj — Mon, 27 Nov 2017 17:43:41 GMT

I have been using whipped argan oil, followed by Divine Drip for several months and my skin is much smoother. But, now that the weather is changing, my skin feels dry and flaky. Two questions, is the liquid argan oil better for dryness than the whipped? Is there something more moisturizing than argan that I should switch to for the winter? Thanks!

@autumnnj Hi there. I would mix some argan oil with the whipped moisturizer. The hydrating milk is nice to use also under the moisturizer. It absorbs quickly too. I love her products and find they really work well for me. Good luck.

You may also need to exfoliate!

@autumnnj, You may want to consider Marula oil. It prevents premature aging, not clog pores, absorbs quickly compare to Argan oil. There are many other benefits. I use Josie's Argan Milk and love it but I will not give up my Marula oil. Acure Organics has 40% off today and have great products.

@autumnnj are you talking about skin on your face or skin all over body?

I agree @Katcat1. Marula oil has 16% more antioxidants than any argan oil which means it is better at fighting free radicals. It is also 32% higher in omega 9 fatty acids, which means it is better at increasing hydration, calming skin, strengthening skin to protect against environmental damage. It also has antimicrobial properties and is high in vitamin C.

I like JM's whipped argon oil and got the set of 8 TSV awhile back. I like how it smells and how it feels putting it on. I put it on my legs and arms in the evening. But honestly, when I shower in the morning, it feels like my skin turns to slime and it all washes off. I am not convinced that the moisturizer is actually doing anything. I cancelled my auto delivery of that set. It is expensive and I think there are better moisturizers out there for the money.

I use goat milk soap, which helps to slough off dry skin, but thanks!

It's not just an oil that hydrates your skin. In fact, oil does not hydrate. Water does. Oil acts as a barrier to keep the hydration in.

Why Josie keeps passing false information along and gets away with it, I don't know!

When I use certain oils, particularly argan, my skin gets unusually drier. At first I thought I wasn't exfoliating enough but this wasn't the case. I asked my derm about it and she said sometimes oils will cause the oil glands in our skin to shut down as a response to having the excess oil applied there. It's a natural reflex of the skin to do this in some people like me and eventually leads to dry skin.
