It’s summer and a hot one at that. Skin is ever more parched and thirsting for something soothing and healing. Enter Kiehl’s Superbly Restorative Preparations line, which uses Argan oil from Morocco for its various therapeutic properties.

The ingredients are all organic and are cultivated by the Targanine Cooperative, a fair-trade network of 2,500 local women who plant and harvest the Argan trees. The women’s communities receive socio-economic and environmental support, such as learning to read, write, run a business, and develop sustainable farming from the profits earned as well as through participation in the Cooperative.

Argan oil has been used to treat split ends, acne scars, cracked skin and even chicken pox. Kiehl’s Superbly Restorative Preparations line offer intense antioxidant protection along with moisturizing your dry skin.

I purchased the body lotion to moisturize my hands and feet before bedtime, and it’s incredibly soothing and gears me for another hot weekend in strappy sandals.
