So I thought that for my first post I would just jump right in with something I’ve been obsessing over for the last couple of weeks- skincare. I know that it seems odd for men to freak out over their skin, but I personally believe that with the absence of makeup- men should be worrying about their skin; perhaps even more than women.
Now I’m biracial, which means that I’m constantly dealing with competing genetics when it comes to finding products to use on my body; especially skincare. However, after a very long (read: exhausting) trip to Sephora, I believe I’ve found the mother (pun intended) of all skincare products. Josie Maran Argan Oil Face Butter! For everyone who doesn’t know, Josie Maran is a former model and actress who launched her own natural cosmetics line in 2007. And it’s amazing!
So unfortunately I have a horrible mix of oily and dry zones on my face. I’ve used several different methods, acne products that include lotions, major household lotions like Jergens and Aveeno, alternative moisturizers, but to no avail. However, the Face Butter has been taking care of all of that; balancing out my skin and helping to counteract the extreme dryness that I face when I have to use acne products. I’ve been using the face butter for a while now and I haven’t seen any negatives to it yet.
Now the face butter
is a bit pricey, about $40 for a 1.7 ounce bottle; but you need only a minimal amount for the entire face. I can be kind of cheap when it comes to my purchases, and as a sometimes stereotypical guy I really appreciate the ability to be super low maintenance. I’m really loving the face butter right now, its a total obsession of mine. And it’s gotten me really interested in the skincare world.
Drop me a comment letting me know what you think about it, and any other Josie Maran products you recommend!
