Laziness Rewarded

Lately, I’ve been trying to use organic plant-based oil (coconut and almond are my favorites) in place of body lotion to moisturize and fend off pregnancy stretch marks, but sometimes I am just too tired or hurried to slather oil all over my body and let it sink in before sleeping/dressing.  To the rescue:

JOSIE MARAN ARGAN CLEANSING OIL

This cleansing oil is amazing!  It is supposed to be a facial cleansing oil, but I have been using it on my entire body; a little goes a long way.  At night, I’ll take apply it everywhere, including my face, in a warm shower and I don’t need to apply body lotion/oil or even a facial moisturizer afterwards.  I can just crawl into bed; it feels so luxurious.  If I’m showering in the morning and I’m in a hurry, I apply it in the shower where I would apply body lotion and I literally save myself at least five minutes.  I feel like I am really cheating the system.  Cost: about $32 for 6 oz.  Purchase it here.

Fine Print: However, if you are taking really hot showers, frequent showers, live in a cold or dry climate, or have extra dry skin, I would not just ditch your moisturizing routine.  I only use this in place of body lotion/oil about half the time.
