It's recommended.  Maybe some of the ladies here have had luck with it unrefrigerated.

OP makes sense. Between the oil and whipped cream, your whole body can be moisturized.

A few years ago I decided that I needed to do a make under. I had entirely too many jars and tubes in my basket. I also wanted a routine that was more budget friendly since I'm retired. I'm a big fan tof the Dr. Denese skin care products so I buy the super size when it's on easy pay and it works for my skin and budget. I also have super sensitive skin with issues so I have a few extra products to help with those things.

Here's what I have:

Purity cleanser

Dr. Denese Hydroshile serum (day and night)

Dr. Denese Wrinkle Defense duo  (face & neck --night)

Dr. Denese Eye Fixer Upper duo night)

Dr. Denese Day Cream (all in one product--spf/moisturizer and light foundation)

Doll 10 lipsticks

 

If I have issues then I'll use Laura Geller Balance & Brighton or Bobbi Brown foundation stick depending on the season. 

Masacar--Bobbi Brown

Eye liner-Bobbi Brown eye lining gel

 

 


@Fressa  I’ve always believed in a scaled down skincare and makeup routine. At 70, I find I’m still looking for ways to cut out steps.

 

There are some basics for my skincare that allow me to wear much less (or no) makeup: A gentle oil cleanser, Clarisonic, Retin A, moisturizer and eye cream at night. In the morning, Vit. C serum, moisturizer, SPF 50 and PTR Unwrinkle acid pads several times a week. I’ve kept the same routine and same brand of products for many years. I don’t believe in the next new miracle cream. That saves a lot of money. 

 

These items are not optional. I use medical grade products, except for drugstore SPF. It’s money well spent to me and I’m willing to splurge here and save on makeup, clothing or other things.

It's just my opinion, but I don't think argan oil has any "treatment" properties.  I love Josie's line and have a huge stock of the body butter but I choose to use other things on my face.  I like the Peter Thomas Roth line and also Perricone and Strivectin.


 

 

@santorini  I agree that as far treatment, any oil will only help moisturize.

I am soon to be 64 and concerned with lines, sagging but also the ingredients in some of the many products I have. Most recently using PTR face wash, retinol serum and cream and just ok for being so expensive. I won't give up the face wash.

 

I am using Chia Seed oil for my daytime moisturizer and non greasy and not toxic but I alreadly pay $30 for a 2 ounce bottle.

 

I am trying to be economical and my thought is to order the TSV which seems to cover all areas and also not toxic to my skin and body.

 

Thoughts on scaling down and having too many products on hand appreciated.


 

 

@Theresa1121  IMHO, the oils in TSV and body cream can do little more than moisturize. It can do nothing for sagging...nothing topical or injectable can help sagging skin.

There are just too many neat skin ingredients out there to make me want to go with only 1 or 2 - ingredients that perform in specific ways. I could if I had to! And maybe at a certain age, you could get away with it. I do not believe any one ingredient does it all. (You do not eat just one food, do you?)

 

Neither does JM! Take a look at her fleet of products now!

@Theresa1121- I just received a new bottle of Rosehip oil from The Ordinary.  There are no instructions regarding placing the oil in the fridge.  I'm using it every evening and I think the chances of it going rancid are slim to none.

@Harpa  I think the main ingredients in a product(s) should protect, moisturize, brighten and exfoliate. After that, it’s mostly fluff.

 

Josie added to her “fleet” to increase her profit. How many oily products can you apply at once? To me it’s the same as wearing an SPF 50 all over and then applying foundation with with SPF 30. That doesn’t mean you’ve increased your skin’s protection to SPF 80. Your skin will only absorb so much argan or other oil as an oil, milk, whipped argan face cream, argan infused serums...used all at once, you still get the moisture from one application of argan oil, IMO of course.

Re: I have too many products and tempted to just go with the TSV Argan oil.

You need a strong antioxidant too.Take your pick: vitamin C (preferably a derivative like MAP and not plain ascorbic acid), green tea EGCG, pycnogenol, polyphenols, catechins, superoxide diasmutase. You need at least one. A dedicated serum is the easiest method.

 

Oils can contain a few antioxidants at low concentrations, but not high enough levels to minimize cellular damage. Nut and seed oils are good for fatty acids and not much else.

 

It would be nice if you could just pat a drop of oil and call it a day knowing you've done your best for your skin, but that isn't reality. Even though people who pay their mortgages by selling such oils constantly try to convince you that's all you need.
