Reddit mentions of PURA D'OR Organic Moroccan Argan Oil (4oz / 118mL) USDA Certified 100% Pure Cold Pressed Virgin Premium Grade Moisturizer Treatment for Dry & Damaged Skin, Hair, Face, Body, Scalp & Nails

I just started using this brand and it is absolutely wonderful! It is the only argan oil I have tried, but the comments say its comparable to Josie Maran.

A nice bonus is if you write a review, they will send you another bottle for free!

The "oil" is basically silicone with a little argan oil. Silicones dry out and become heavy on hair. I have been using pure argan oil (for about half the price!) And its been aaamaaazing on my hair...it just drinks it up, makes it soft and doesn't leave it oily. Also, it really sinks into my skin. (I have acnetic skin and it doesnt clog my pores, but leaves it soft)

I would say try out some natural argan oil and see if that does it for ya.

• Oil Cleanser (Nighttime Only): Innisfree Apple Juicy Cleansing Oil $17.99; oil cleanser helps to melt off makeup and sunscreen and emulsifies with water for a clean finish. Note: You don't have to use a special oil cleanser, you can also use grapeseed oil, additive-free mineral oil, jojoba oil, or olive oil, just be aware you will typically require a second cleanse to completely remove the oil from your face. I personally use neem oil which is antimicrobial and antifungal because of adult acne, but it is a drying face oil.
  
  
• Cleanser: CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser $11-17; has ceramides, glycerin, and hyaluronic acid. Has the appropriate 4.5 pH necessary for cleansers.
  
  
• Serum: OST Pure Vitamin C Serum $18.49; will help with evening and brightening skin tone, complexion clarity, and anti-aging -- requires long-term consistent use to see max benefit.
  
  
• Hydrating Toner: Rohto Hadalabo Gokujyn Hyaluronic Acid Lotion (Moist) $17.54; contains hyaluronic acid and other hyaluronates, helps to lock liquid in skin, try to apply to slightly damp skin to max benefit. The HA needs moisture to grab onto and some people experience drying if they apply a product with high HA on dry skin.
  
  
• Hydrating Serum: Benton Snail Bee High Content Essence $17; contains snail secretion filtrate, aloe, glycerin, arbutin, naturally derived salicylic acid, and azelaic acid (review here for more info on ingredients}, helps with wound healing, redness, lightning PIH, and soothing inflammation.
  
  
• Face Oil: Pura d'or 100% Pure & USDA Organic Argan Oil $19.99; high in fatty acids which helps moisturize and soothe irritated and dry skin, optional vendor: Garden of Wisdom. Note: A good face oil is a trial and error thing, you may prefer: avocado oil, passionfruit seed oil, rosehip seed oil, etc. Certain oils are more drying, others are richer and more moisturizing. You may have to engage in some research and experimentation to find which is right for you and most can be found for under $20 if you look.
  
  
• Emulsion/Milk (Daytime Only): Hada-Labo Shirojyun Arbutin Milk $16.35; High hyaluronic acid and glycerin content, is slightly richer than the toner previously listed and can be used as a daytime moisturizer underneath your sunscreen. Arbutin is a skin-lightening ingredient that evens skin tone and fades PIH, but you can get Rohto Hada-Labo Gokujun Hyaluronic Acid Milk $15.86; which is the same thing but without the arbutin.
  
  
• Sunscreen (Daytime Only): Up to you, one of the trickier products out there and I assume you have something you like already. Asian sunscreens tend to have a better cosmetic finish but rely on chemical sunscreen ingredients. I personally use EltaMD UV Lotion Broad-Spectrum SPF 30+ which is marketed for body but has the same ingredients as EltaMD's facial sunscreen.
  
  
• Moisturizing Cream (Nighttime Only): Benton Snail Bee High Content Steam Cream $17.00; Contains snail secretion filtrate, peptides, fatty acid rich oils, and niacinamide to help moisturize, prevent water loss, and encourage wound-healing. One of the richest face creams I've personally tried with good ingredients for the price. For details on the ingredients, see here. Remember if your T-zone is oily, you don't have to apply it there!
  
  Option 2: EltaMD PM Therapy Moisturizer $22.13; high in niacinamide and linoleic acid to help restore skin's moisture. May need the aid of an occlusive like Vaseline or a sleeping pack (see below).
  
  
• Special - Sleeping Pack: Option 1 Mizon Multi Function Formula Snail Wrinkle Care Sleeping Pack $14.98; Option 2 Etude House Moistfull Collagen Sleeping Pack $15.96; Option 3 Laneige Water Sleeping Pack EX $33.99; Sleeping packs are extra rich creams which go on top of all your other skin care at night to give you an extra boost in moisture. Similar to people putting a thin layer of Vaseline on at night, you put a thin layer of the sleeping pack on and sleep with it over night 2-3 times a week as needed. They're more of an extra thing, not an every day thing, much like a face mask.
  
  That is an example of a moisturizing and non-irritating East Asian skincare routine using products that are all $20 or under each (barring a couple options), each with good hydrating and anti-inflammatory actives. Almost all are available through Amazon or through a singular vendor like W2Beauty which usually has coupon codes and can combine shipping. Target will carry the Laneige line in stores, but it is more a mid-price range. I can't personally guarantee they'll work for you, but the starting points are all there for you to do the research yourself if need be.
  
  

You might be interested in pure argan oil. I use Pura d'or argan oil when my face/hands/hair are extra dry. It's unscented (and 1-2 drops is plenty or you'll end up greasy).

This is the original amazon page: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004Z209HS/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I paid $36, and I'm willing to take $20. It's been used twice so it's still mostly full and in its original bag and all. Let me know if you're interested.

Argan oil

Ha! Here is my routine:

AM:

• Cleanse with [SkinMedica facial cleanser] (http://www.skinmedica.com/skin-care-products/facial-cleanser)
  
• Tone with SkinMedica Rejuvenative toner
  
• Paula's Choice 2% BHA Lotion (let sit for ~10 mins)
  
• Moisturize with Pura D'or Argan oil
  
• Top up with Tarte BB Moisturizer with SPF 20
  
  PM:
  
  
• OCM with Albolene Moisturizing Cleanser
  
• Cleanse with [SkinMedica facial cleanser] (http://www.skinmedica.com/skin-care-products/facial-cleanser)
  
• Tone with SkinMedica Rejuvenative toner
  
• I alternate between SkinMedica Retinol 0.5 or NuFountain C20+Ferulic 20% Vitamin C Serum (let sit for half an hour to an hour)
  
• Moisturize with Argan Oil or Acure moisturizing serum (delightful blend of very moisturizing oils)
  
• Sometimes top up with Aquaphor if my skin is feeling drier than usual
  
  I sometimes use tea tree oil on zits, or Tretin 0.1%. I also use Kiehl's Clay mask once in a while.
  
  There you go! Comments welcome :)
  
  
  

agreed. For a start, you might want to look at some long hair inspiration, from articles like this I found to help you decide on what kind of style to go for. On the other hand, your hair seems a little dry, so consider moisturizing by getting some argon oil too. Hope it helps.

i am a male and i use to have very similar problems like you around my cheek areas. I literally tried every moisturizer i could to see if anything helped. I started using oil cleansing with almond oil which softened up the problem but my skin would still crack up. Through trial and research i have managed to control dermatitis for now. I have replaced my daily moisturizer with a mixture of argan oil and aloe vera gel. I use this twice a day(morning after i wake up and night after dinner). The good thing is that i don't even feel the mixture on my skin and it has helped soothing my skin immensly. I am not sure if it will work for u but u can give it a try. You can use any aloe vera gel and argan oil u wish but make sure they are good quality. I personally use this two:

I'm on a low buy for a while, so I've been focusing more on skincare than on makeup:

• Queen Helene Mint Julep face mask
  
  
• Freeman Avocado clay face mask
  
  
• Stridex x 2
  
  
• Pura D'or Argan Oil
  
  
• Josie Maran Argan Oil Collection Why I bought this after buying the Pura D'or argan oil... I have no idea. But, this is a great deal for anyone wanting to try Josie Maran products since you're saving $60+ off MSRP... qvc just makes things so hard to pass up.
  
  
• Milani Baked Blush in Berry Amore - a bit too dark for me at this time, maybe it'll look better in the summer.
