Can you use Josie Maran on----

your face!  The Josie Maran Whipped Argan Oil, Be True.  I never watched her ---- she was just one of those people that I didn't like to watch???  ---- sorry---just my opinion.  Anyway, I received a decent size of the Whipped Argon Oil --- used it on my neck---and wow, I could tell a difference!

I know she makes products for the face---but since i KNOW this shows results----just wondering.  I am about to turn 70 and I have those verticle wrinkles on my checks--- I HATE THOSE! LOL  I know it won't make them disappear, but maybe soften.  

I bet you will say to experiment and see, would just like to know if anyone else has used for this purpose.

Yes!  You can use her body butter on your face.  I do. I like it much better than her face butter.  Go ahead!  I think you will love it, especially since you like it on your neck.

@pietook   Oils are good for sealing in moisture and skincare, but not keen on idea of using a heavier whipped oil most likely meant for the body. 

 

I think on your face, it could be occlusive. I'm not sure if this product is non-comedogenic. If the oil is in a high concentration, it can clog pores and cause other issues.

I never had a problem with her body butter clogging my pores on my face.  There are several ladies on here that use it as a facial moisturizer and love it.

 

@pietook  It is worth trying. Woman Happy

There are a few Josie products that I have adverse reactions to, a few are the hand cream, any Vibrancy product, and a few more. Other than that, Josie Maran brand is my favorite.  I use the body butter on my face frequently with no problems.

Re: Can you use Josie Maran on----

Yesterday, I was wondering the same thing. All these face creams come in tiny sizes and cost so much. In winter, I get so dry and need to alternate my Retin A at night with a face cream and also wanted something for day. I emailed J Maran dot com and  asked if the new pro-retinol BB could be used on the face. The answer was yes, but you only need a small amount and you can also use it under your eyes. It is apparently a little lighter than the traditional BB's.  I believe the other BB's are also appropriate for the face. So I went ahead and ordered it from her website. There was no tax and free shipping and it will last me a while.

Re: Can you use Josie Maran on----

After reading this thread I decided to apply some of the JM whipped body butter unscented on the vertical lines on front of neck.  Nothing else, nothing, has helped one bit to soften them and in the winter the skin there is dry and looks worse.  I had been using Argan Milk and it did help but am out of it and was using facial moisturizers.

 

So I applied a bit and rubbed it in and intstantly it looked smoother and better.  I will keep it up and see if there are breakouts or anything, but right now am happy everyone is discussing this.  Neck creams did nothing, didn't like any of them. 

 

Her whipped body butter is the only thing in the winter that keeps the crepey skin on legs and arms somewhat at bay....

Re: Can you use Josie Maran on----

I am not able to use any oils or serums on my face, they cause milia almost immediately. I can use them on my neck and arms/ legs, but not the face.
