Weeks ago, I purchased Argan Soap (P220) from Filipino brand L'Oro della Vita (in English means 'the gold of life'). I've been using Ponds facial wash for as long as I can remember, but, this year, I'm on a quest for new products that my skin would love.
The Gold Bar is a face and body soap with Argan Oil and AHA fruit acids.
Been using it for 2 weeks now, and, so far, I feel it's not great for my face, I have sensitive combination skin. I've used St.Yves before with AHA or something that cleanses pores from the inside and caused minor bumps, then, my skin cleared by the 2nd week. In this case, I didn't like the overall effect and feel of my 2-week use. I still prefer my old product over it. I used the leftover bar on my body and it's quite nice.
Perhaps, I should try their Pure Moroccan Argan Oil (P1,500/70ml) to moisturize after I wash my face with a different soap. Argan Oil is a hot item in the beauty circuit at the moment, if you want to try it, then, buy from Pinoy brand L'Oro della Vita (it's cheaper than international brands).
Argan Oil is gaining popularity as a new skin care must have. The Cosmetic Argan Oil is a purely natural organic oil, meticulously extracted from the nut of the ancient Argan tree, which is found exclusively in Morocco. The oil is the pride of the region’s Berbers and is highly celebrated as nature’s anti-aging serum and skin moisturizer. The oil has been shown to improve problematic skin conditions such as scarring, acne, wrinkles, and psoriasis.
Only time will tell if the Argan Oil craze around the world is really a golden beauty secret . . .
