This is another one of those products I bought and was hoping to love, and I do for some things. There are several items I absolutely love in the
Josie Maran Line, but there are others I just like and some I just can't handle.
The
Argan balm is not greasy like the
Argan whipped butter. It is a bit more on the waxy side, but it doesn't feel like my pores are filled. When I use stuff that does that all I want to do is crawl back in the shower.
This actually makes my skin feel soft, but in all the uses it hasn't done anything to repair or actually make it soft. I suffer from
SEVERELY dry skin. I buy all kinds of different lotions, creams, oils and so far nothing is helping. I exfoliate, even gone so far as to use avocado oil and aloe vera gel in a wrap. So, I have to just take what I can get with it feeling soft for a little while.
What I use this for, mainly my ankles and lips. Those are the driest spots, and I really like how soft my lips feel with it. For someone that just needs a bit of light softening of the skin I would think this would be perfect. There isn't a strong fragrance and the bit it does have, come from the ingredients I believe. It smells a bit like raw coco-butter and bees wax to me.
Overall a definite A on the Argan Balm, you can purchase this product from
Sephora for $42.00. Or check out
Joise Maran's site to learn more and they are currently offering free shipping on any orders over $25.00.
