Oil up for the good of your skin and hair with Russell Organics, Boscia, Caudalie and L'Oréal!

Russell Organics Argan Oil - 59ml - $28 - offers the highest quality level of argan oil in the market - with no fillers, masking or additives that is toxin free, cruelty free and certified vegan.

The best thing about getting a pure argan oil like this rather then argan products is how versatile it is. Use a couple of drops on the skin as a moisturizer, on hair as a conditioner and smoother, as a cuticle oil or even a drop on the lips as a shiny balm. Or go ahead and mix a drop of it with your regular moisturizer when some extra moisture is in order, ditto for your body lotion and even your hand cream!

My fave cold weather trick - I rub 2 drops into my hands at night, add a layer of vaseline to seal in the oil and then put on a pair of cotton gloves and go to bed - by morning I have the softest hands you could ever imagine!
