Re: Josie Maran Argan Exfoliating Powder

I use this product at least twice a week. I have very sensitive skin and also mature dry skin. I do not find it drying at all. I REALLY like using it. I also use the rest of Josie's products. Love them.

Re: Josie Maran Argan Exfoliating Powder

I use it everyday. I use it on my face & neck. It doesn't get frothy, just turns a lil white & has a great smell. It's a tiny grit too. Not big huge scratchy pieces!!! I don't think you would have any trouble w/it. I also mix it w/her unscented body butter. Sometimes I like a lil froth,lol.

I just picked this up late last month, and I like it very much. I have combo skin btw.  I only use this once or twice a week.  Be sure to add a little more water than you think you need to work the powder well.  I find it to be a little rough to use if you do not use the right proportion of water for your skin.  I find my skin very soft and smooth after using, maybe a little red because I rub too hard at times but not because of a reaction to the product.  I immediately apply JM argan oil and go to bed.  When I wake up in the morning, my skin is so soft! Side note, my bottle arrived somewhere between 3/4 full or less.  This is listed as an issue in a lot of the reviews.

Hi Mrs Cat 21

 

If you have a Sephora near you go in and ask for a sample so you can try it for yourself. I've done this and the sales staff is always pleasant and willing to offer assistance and advice on products.

I like it, but I prefer the Tatcha one better.

@sapphire 2  Thanks for that suggestion!  I have a Sephora not too far from me, maybe I will stop in there for a sample  Smiley Happy

Re: Josie Maran Argan Exfoliating Powder

This is one product from Ms. Maran's line which misses the mark.  I find the product  to be grainy and never liquifies into a creamy exfoliating wash as other powdered grains I've used in the past have done.  I am not using mine often (it was part of a set and I love the other products).  When I do use it I add a little Purity to help give it some slip over my face.  I can't recommend it.  

 

DHC (the Japanese mail order cosmetic company) makes an excellent powdered cleanser.  Theirs is only $12.  I would also recommend Tacha's but as you know that brand seems to have higher than customary mark ups. It is $65.

Re: Josie Maran Argan Exfoliating Powder

That Paula's Choice BHA 1% is the BOMB.

 

I have Josie's exfoliationg powder but just haven't tried it yet.  Love her argan oils, though.  The regular, the Milk, and the SPF 47 which I use faithfully every single day.  Have never had any problems with it.

 

I've tried other argan oils and they just haven't measured up!
