product review: Moroccan Argan oil

Hi Everyone,

I'm so excited about this next oil that I am going to review for you, it's 100% all natural and unrefined Argan oil. Now I know there are plenty of argan oil in the market and all claim they are authentic argan oil but have to stopped and looked at the ingredients listed in the back label? I have a I must say I was disappointed by one of the expensive argan oil in the market. What I saw a oil that full of filler and they claimed they have 100% oil.
Well enough rant I just had to get that out of my chest so on to my review.I purchased the Moroccan Argan oil by sheaterraorganics and let me tell you it's an amazing product I use it at night as a moisturizer for my face, neck, hands, hair you name is I have used it.

Product claims:
Recommended for for dry, mature, aging skin and as a hair conditioner.
Argan oil is rich in vitamins A & E. It has a high plant squalene content similar to olive oil and is high in healing sterols. The non-clogging, non-greasy oil absorbs into skin upon contact. Amongst all of the oils tested over several years at Shea Terra Organics, argan oil appears to last on the skin the longest, offering a full day of moisture protection.

My experience:
I use 1 pump of the argan oil and massage it on to my face and neck after cleansing, I make sure to massage it on to my eye brows and eyelashes. I then take another pump and distribute is on to my hair at night. Whatever left on my hands I rub on to my cuticle and hands.
The argan oil like the kalahari ootanga oil is a dry oil, but don't be fooled is does moisturise well and leaves your skin moisturized for hours. When I wake up in the morning my skin feels moisturized. My hair feels soft and seals in moisture.

Pros:
It moisturizes really well
Product is in a glass bottle and a pump
Has multiple use not just a face moisturizers but hair and body moisturizer
price $24.00 for a 2oz bottle
100% natural
certified argan oil
No artificial fragrance

Cons:
Can only be purchased through sheaterraorganics
The scent, it's unrefined, unprocessed oil so it retains its natural scent.
Does not contain an spf

Moroccan Argan oil is a wonderful product that has many uses even though their are plenty of fake oils out there it is worth it's price in gold. I love this product I'm trying to share it to any one who is willing to listen. To purchase http://www.sheaterraorganics.com/Moroccan-Argan-Oil-Certified-Organic-Beauty-Oil-of-the-Berbers_p_56.html

Skin care routine

I know there's plenty of skin care routine but this one works for my combination dry skin. I broke this down to morning routine, evening routine and once a week treatments that I like to use. The products will get reviewed at a later date because if I added the review with this blog post will be very, very long. I will also add info to where you can purchase the products that I use.

Morning routine
In the morning I like to wash my face with lukewarm water for several minutes. Then I pat my face dry and with a cotton ball I use witch hazel as my toner. I use an under eye gel,use my clinique spot treatment for any zits I have then apply 1 pump of kalahari ootanga oil to my face let it get absorbed and dry a bit then I place either another moisturizer with an SPF of 38 or more to my face.I know most experts recommend that you wash your face with a cleanser in the morning, I find that using a cleanser in the morning dries my skin so much. Also I make sure to really cleanse in the evening so using a cleanser in the morning is too much for my skin. That's pretty much it for my morning routine, I usually don't use make up I reserve that on special occasion. :)

Evening routine
At night is when I perform my deep cleansing since I have more time to devote at night and I find that my night cleansing routine is a nice party of de-stressing.
At night I like to use my black soap and rose hip cleanser or my rose hip soap on my face. Depending on what I did that day I either use my hands to work the cleanser on to my skin or on days that I feel I need that extra cleansing I use my nutra sonic. Nutra sonic is a cheaper version of clairasonic. After I have cleansed my face I pat my skin dry and use an under eye gel use my tamanu-e cream on my zits. Then I use 1 pump of tamanu oil and massage this on to my face, let is get soaked up for a minute and then use 1 pump of argan oil and also massage on my face and neck. That concludes my evening routine I know your asking why I don't use a toner at night. I find that since I cleaned my face really well with my nutra sonic or my cleanser that I don't need a toner.

Once a week routine.
I have large pores around my nose, forehead and chin so I use some sort of pore strip to clean those gunk out of my face. I have several that I have tried so far I'm liking the skin food nose strip It's cheap and works the best in my opinion.
I use face scrubs once a week I use my ghassool purifying paste mask.

That about sums up my skin care routine, I have been using this products since November of last year and I haven't had any break outs except when I try new products. It works for me.
