Use the skinceutical product line. Best serum EVER, amazing af, C E Ferulic in the morning

I swear by Argan oil. I bleach my hair platinum blonde & this amazing oil satiated my incredibly thirsty hair! Take a little bit over the size of a quarter, rub in your hands lightly. Rub the majority thru your hair, the rest all over your face, neck & chest! If you want, put on more! I have really dry skin so I put a ton of it on. I don't know what it would do to someone with oily or even combo skin. One other plus, it smells amazing😊❤️

Such a great post... 👍🏼
