I never really got into the whole hype about oils... like coconut oil, jojoba oil, olive oil, argan oil, rose oil, etc. Even though I always read such great reviews, I've always steered clear because I always have had this weird misconception of ending up looking like a complete greaseball if I ever used any of it.
But oh boy, was I soooo wrong.
InstaNatural was kind enough to send me the following items to test out:
1. Argan Oil Hair Mask
product page: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00MNK9R5YThis guys is THE bomb. Since I have no experience with argan oil, I wasn't expecting this to smell SO GOOD!
The consistency of this reminds me so much of Organix's Brazilian Keratin Therapy hair mask. It seems easy enough to use in my opinion. I've used it twice since I received it and it leaves my hair super soft. It also makes my hair a bit shinier and healthier looking. It's pretty noticeable since I consider my hair to be pretty damaged and a bit dry. Overall, this is a really good deep-conditioning treatment to try out.
2. Pure and Organic Argan Oil

This stuff, I honestly no qualms with. It's the type of product that takes a while for you to really notice substantial results. That being said though, this is some powerful stuff. It contains 20% Vitamin C, 2.5% Retinol, 2% Salicylic Acid, Vitamin B3 and Tea Tree Oil. In my opinion, this product is definitely for me since I have really problematic skin that's prone to blemishes and scarring. I've used it a couple of times during the nighttime so I'm excited to see how powerful this stuff really is. Definitely suggest moisturizing after using it though since It's a teeny bit drying (probably because of the Retinol). But other than that, it's non-irritating (no redness or flaking), even on super sensitive skin like mine, so that's definitely a plus.
On top of these pretty awesome products, I also found out that InstaNatural is cruelty free! So that's definitely a huge plus.
InstaNatural is definitely a must try beauty product line, especially if you feel like you need to spruce up your skin care regimen.
As you've probably already guessed, I had NO CLUE about how to get started with my bottle of argan oil (btw, shout out to InstaNatural for their huge 4 fl. oz bottle!). However, before my package arrived, the InstaNatural team was kind enough to send me some suggestions on using argan oil. Pretty much found out that this stuff is good for almost anything and everything.
They suggested 7 ways to use InstaNatural's 100% Pure Argan Oil, and those were the following:
- Leave-in conditioner (haven't tried this one out yet... mainly because I have naturally oily hair and I'm a bit weary of putting any oils in my hair)
- Frizz remover (like I said, a bit weary of putting it in my hair)
- Moisturizer (I was very surprised at how non-greasy this is on my face. I use about one to two drops for my entire face, and voila! Works like a charm. I was seriously expecting to look like a grease ball after using this on my face, but that really wasn't the case. As far as my skin being sensitive goes, this stuff is not irritating AT ALL. It's always scary trying new products on my face, but this is so worth it.)
- Lip exfoliator and softener (I think by far, this is my favorite use for argan oil. I think I have perpetually dry/chapped lips, but this stuff does magic. After, I think, 2 days of using this on my lips, I could already tell a difference. I will definitely keep using this stuff so my lips are always hydrated... and hopefully won't be chapped ever again!)
- Hair / Scalp Treatment (I have really dry patches on my scalp that are sometimes super itchy so I tried putting a small amount of argan oil on the dry areas of my scalp a couple of times right before going to sleep. This really relieves the itch and from what I can tell, it's reduced the dryness on my scalp... which is pretty amazing)
- Face Mask (I have yet to try this out, but I am super excited!)
- Nail Care - (I have pretty thick nails, but they do have the tendency to break. I've used this a couple times on my nails but not enough to notice much of a difference with my nails. However, it has done wonders on my cuticles... so there's that)
After trying argan oil out, I did a bit of research on argan oil products and found out that it's really hard to find 100% pure argan oil. Often the amount of argan oil in products aren't even enough for it's active ingredients to do anything noticeable. That being said, InstaNatural's stuff is as pure as it gets.
Final verdict: AMAZING (especially as a moisturizer for skin and lips)
3. Age-Defying Skin Clearing Serum
