I used to balk at any beauty product containing oil; Of course, that all changed once I tried Josie Maran's outstanding Argan Oil and extolled the virtues of the miraculous Moroccanoil (also based on the aforementioned argan oil). Once I savored every last drop of Josie's magical elixir, however, I was in need of a liquid-y golden oil that could deliver the same sheeny, skin-conditioning properties. And after that hearing Lianne Farbes, aka The Makeup Girl, rave about Neutrogena's Body Oil on Twitter, I knew I had to try this sleeper-hit drugstore find. Applied to slightly damp skin post-shower, this sesame-oil-based formula quickly sinks in to seal in moisture and soften without a greasy feel. It may, in fact, absorb even better than Josie Maran's oil (or maybe I was just being overzealous and applying to much of the argan). The result is nourished skin and a covetable, slightly glowy look. And Neutrogena Body Oil's subtly clean-floral scent helps you keep that just-from-the shower-fresh feel for just a little longer.

I have been using Neutrogena body oil in the shower for 20 years and its great! I used it when I was pregnant with both of my kids and it kept me from getting any stretchmarks. Smells amazing, like almond oil!
Are you still loving the Josie M argan oil??? I still have not tried...
Michelle - yes, I'm still loving Josie M's oil, but ran out! It's a supreme body moisturizer, but the one drawback is the small bottle - Josie Maran needs to make a super-sized version (or one specifically for body moisturizer), because it goes fast. Pure argan oil is pretty expensive though, which kind of explains the small size. If the did offer a larger one, it would probably cost as much as that Sisley face cream!
