JOSIE MARAN PURE ARGAN MILK REVIEW




Today's beauty review is on the new Josie Maran Pure Argan Milk- Intensive Hydrating Treatment. Since I raved and told you guys how much I loved the Josie Maran 100% Argan Oil Light, I knew that I had to try the all new Pure Argan Milk and incorporate this product into my daily beauty routine.
 
This Pure Argan Milk- Intensive Hydrating Treatment just came out a few weeks ago at my local Sephora and I was immediately drawn to it as soon as I had set my eyes on it. I had read the package and talked to the beauty consultant about it and went home that night and did a little research on it before I bought it. I had watched the Josie Maran video on it and it definitely made me more excited about the product that I went out the next day and bought it.
 
This Pure Argan Milk is 100% natural and pure, just like her regular and light Argan Oil's. It has powerful antiaging benefits, it's lightweight, very intensive and it absorbs right into the skin leaving your face with a healthy glow. It has a blend of microdroplets of 100% pure Argan Oil infused in purified water, allowing the skin to be deeply nourished and hydrated.

The Argan Milk is made up of two important ingredients for skin health. The purified water is to hydrate and plump skin cells, restoring the skin's healthy cushion and the microdroplets of 100% Argan Oil is to feed and preserve skin cells, locking in hydration and protecting the skin from UV, toxins, stress and the environment.


I have been using the Pure Argan Milk- Intensive Hydrating Treatment for a few weeks now and once again I am absolutely in love with this product. Josie Maran has done it again and she seriously knows what she is doing when it comes to her oils.


 The Pure Argan Milk works hand in hand with the Josie Maran 100% Argan Oil, whether it's the regular oil or the light oil. You can just use the Pure Argan Milk alone and use that as your daily {morning and night} moisturizer or you can use it hand in hand with the 100% Argan Oil which is what Josie Maran recommends.

I also love that the Pure Argan Milk and her 100% Argan Oil's are formulated without:
Parabens, Sulfates and Phthalates. When I am looking for products, I always make sure that these three ingredients are not in the product that I am buying and with her products not having these harmful ingredients, makes these two products a win in my books.

How I Apply It:

Morning:

Once I have washed and toned my face, I will apply 4-5 drops of the Josie Maran Pure Argan Milk to the palm of my hand {lightly pressing my two palms together, warming up the milk in my hand} and then I lightly press my hands onto my face, dabbing the milk all over my face, under my eyes, neck and décolleté. Once I have done that, I will let that sit on my face for a few minutes to soak in before applying my foundation/ tinted moisturizer and any other makeup.

Depending on how dry your face is, I would recommend applying the Josie Maran 100% Argan Oil after you have applied the milk for extra hydration.

Night:

Once I have washed and toned my face, I will apply 5 drops of the Pure Argan Milk to the palm of my hand {lightly pressing my two palms together, warming the milk up in my hand} and then I lightly press my hands onto my face, dabbing the milk all over my face, under my eyes, neck and décolleté. I will then add 5 drops of the Josie Maran 100% Argan Oil Light to the palm of my hand again, and lightly dab that all over my face, under my eyes, neck and décolleté.

I like the "Light" formulation better than the regular because it's a little less greasy and it absorbs quicker into my skin, leaving my skin a little more matte but also leaving my skin with a beautiful dewy glow that I absolutely love. The "light" formulation does the exact same as the regular oil but again, it just leaves your face less greasy.
 
I am really happy that Josie Maran came out with this product and it has seriously changed my beauty routine for the better. My face always looks amazing when I only used the 100% Argan Oil but now that I have incorporated the milk along with the oil, my skin has really improved that much more and what a difference my makeup looks as well. I can't even explain to you on how my face looks and feels, it's amazing how these two products together has changed my skin.

Another plus with these two products is that it doesn't make me breakout at all and I have very sensitive, acne prone skin. It's such a relief knowing that I finally found a beauty routine that works!

JOSIE MARAN 100% PURE ARGAN OIL LIGHT




Ok, I haven't done a beauty post in a really long time {I know, I am sorry}, so today I wanted to share and review a new love in my life. Yes, it's the Josie Maran 100% Pure Argan Oil Light.

Some of you have probably tried this oil before and maybe some of you haven't. If you have tried this oil, I am sure you will agree that this stuff is a-m-a-z-i-n-g. 

About a month ago, I was looking for a new moisturizer for my face. I wanted to try something new and change things up a bit as I don't like to use a certain product for long periods of time. I was using this moisturizer which I love but since my face has been changing and getting a little more oily {even in the winter months} I wanted to try something that wasn't a "moisturizer." I have always heard great reviews on the Josie Maran Argan Oil and have always wanted to try it. Ok, so you are probably thinking, why would she use an oil on her face when her face is already oily? Yes, I thought that also and was a total sceptic. I went into my local Sephora and was talking to a beauty consultant about the Josie Maran Argan Oil and she was saying that she uses the regular Josie Maran Argan Oil and that she absolutely loves and swears by the product. She also has oily/combination skin.

I ended up getting a sample of the regular Josie Maran Argan Oil and used it for a few weeks. I did like it but I found that it was a little too heavy and I didn't like the feeling on my face as it was almost too greasy. I went back and got a sample of the "light" oil and this one was much better for my skin. The light oil is a lighter consistency and it also dries more matte on the face but also gives a little bit of a dewy look which I LOVE. I went back a week later and ended up getting the 0.5 oz {which is the smaller bottle to the 1.7 oz}.

I have been using the Josie Maran Argan Oil Light for over a month now and I can't believe the way my skin looks and feels. My face has never looked better and has never felt softer. Even when I am not wearing it on my face, my face still has a glow to it. This oil does not break me out, it actually helped clear up my acne as well as redness caused from past acne blemishes. This oil also reduces sebum production and is great for all skin tones, especially sensitive/ acne prone skin {which is me}. My skin also feels tighter and more hydrated.

How I apply it:

Morning:

After I have washed and toned my face, I add two drops to the entire face and whatever is left over on my fingers, I will then dap that around my eyes for extra hydration. I then follow my makeup routine afterwards. This oil is a great makeup base and when I apply my foundation {liquid or powder}, my face just looks flawless and dewy and so healthy looking. My boyfriend has also been commenting on how good my face has been looking as of late. Now, if your man notices and compliments you on your skin, then you know the product is a keeper.

Night:

After I have washed and toned my face, I put two drops on my index finger and I rub my two hands together and apply it all over my face. Once I have rubbed it all in, I then add one drop to my index finger again and I apply that around my eyes, focusing more on the outer corner of my eye {crows feet area} and a little under my eye and under my brow bone. Make sure that you don't get it too close to your lash line as it can get into your eyes.

Not only is this oil good for your face, it can also be used for your cuticles, hair, dry skin {hands, feet, elbows etc}. It's a multi purpose product and you definitely get your money's worth with this oil. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone and I am really glad that I found a product that actually doesn't make me breakout.

I hope you all found this post helpful and please let me know if you have any questions about the product or how I use it. Leave them in the comments below and I will definitely answer them as soon as I can..

Thank you so much for stopping by, xo!!
