Josie Maran / Friday's Today's (Kits)?

I have never tried any of her products. So, I purchased three of her larger ones, including the "Special" in both the scented & NON. I know I will have plenty of use from these, but would like to hear **your** reviews. I thought that the oils would be excellent for arm/legs as cooler weather approaches.  I've heard about her product line so many times, so started out with - I suppose- her mainliners. Any information would be greatly appreciated...TIA.

Re: Josie Maran / Friday's Today's (Kits)?

I have very picky skin & it really likes JM Argan Oil. My skin is combo/oily/easily dehydrated/old/breaks out from everything skin. I can't use anti aging treatments, they always break me out. I need moisture, but I have to be careful there, too. I need something that cleans off my makeup, but cleaners, especially oil cleanser, breaks me out. So I use JM Argan Oil as my makeup remover. The Argan Milk is wonderful moisture for my skin. The Serum Foundation is very nice. I like the Tinted SPF47 for days around the house, but it's a bit too "dewy" for regular days. None of these break me out, though!

Re: Josie Maran / Friday's Today's (Kits)?

Hello dusty1,

      I appreciated your honest use/ knowledge fro your own experience.  Secondly, I had absolutely "no" information that her Argan oil was being or could be used for foundation cleanse/removal. I have normal-dry(ish)complexion skin, BUT...it's so very sensitive to just about 95% of what I had been using. What I do use is bought from an oversea's product line OR be put on a wait list at Ulta's...very pricey, but so very grateful I researched it, in order to even find it. I have a dear friend who is a dermatologist. She, herself has sensitive skin and recommend I use CerVe, both for cleanse & moisturizer...no such of a positive effect for me. 

Do not have break outs, but definitely could understand why you say: very picky in what you use. I am at 100% with skincare and have been since I was a teen. I avoid all of the junk in what cosmetic lines sneak in...I am in medical research, so I read labels!   I'll get back with you after trial. Stay clear of parabens. Those, along with the hidden 40+ other ingredients are (sometimes) the CAUSE culprits that are never mentioned. 

Since I have been on the boards almost 4 years, skin problems, apparently the #1 complaint. These ingred. were not as prevalent even at a time period 15 years ago. Thank you so very much. I have always used some form of oils to remove MU, blush and to moisturize. This may be my GO TO line...just  free of what I refer  to as add on to entice.......
