Product Review: Josie Maran Argan Balm

Another one of my go-to goodies is the Josie Maran Argan Balm. I have yet to find something it can’t moisturize!

I have used it under my eyes especially during the dry wintertime. I have rubbed it in and around my lips when that area gets dry and uncomfortable. It makes a terrific overnight treatment for my hands and cuticles and nails. I have even dabbed it on flaky spots on my face. All of these little treats improve my skin almost on contact, leaving it soft and smooth and velvety. I am sure it could work wonders on my poor dry feet, but I tend to hoard this magnificent moisturizer and do not want to use it all up on my feet!

It does come in several different scents, which are nice and light. Because of the natural ingredients in all of Josie Maran’s products, you do not have to be afraid of the scent unless you just prefer unscented products. Personally, I do not mind the scented versions, and find the lavender citrus particularly lovely. Then again, I love almost anything lavender scented!

I always have a tin in my medicine cabinet, and even one in my travel bag. I love multi-purpose products, especially for travel, and this is a favorite.

If you are unfamiliar with the Josie Maran line, do check it out. It is an argan oil based line of skincare, body care, and color cosmetics that bills itself as “luxury with a conscience”. The different collections are also offered through QVC and Sephora, as well as direct. All of these retailers offer certain specials and sets that are a great way to break into the line. Besides the Argan Balm, I would also highly recommend the Argan Infinity Cream Intensive Creamy Oil which is a little more creamy than the balm.
