The Oil That Everyone's Buzzing About: Argan Oil

Earlier this week About.com's skincare expert Jen Adkins wrote me about the oil that everyone seems to be buzzing about, Argan Oil. Here's what she had to say:

I'm an argan oil addict. It has done amazing things to my skin and once I got over the fact that I was applying oil to my face, which tends to break out, I saw that my skin drank it in. I wrote about argan oil last week.

Here's the link to Jen's article on argan oil benefits to the hair, skin and body. After reading her article, consider me sold. I can't wait to try this stuff, especially considering other women I respect have told me about it as well (see my interview with Manhattan's guru to the under-35 set, Gabrielle Bernstein, who swears by argan oil from Arganica).

Sunscreen Review: Josie Maran Argan Sun Protection for Body

My friends are the eco-conscious sort and the one beauty question I get from them is what natural, organic skincare products can I recommend. Enter in Sue Costello, the absolute perfect person to try out and review natural, organic skincare, makeup and hair products. Sue tries out all sorts of cosmetics for this site and only writes about the stuff she finds that work and works well. Sue recently tried out model-and-actress-turned-cosmetics-maven Josie Maran's Argan Sun Protection for the Body and liked it enough to give it an excellent review (read it here).

What I love about Josie Maran is she's really dedicated to finding products that are good for the body and the environment. If you can relate to that, this might be the sunscreen for you.
