She looked in good spirits as she shared a beauty product that wowed her.
“I am so impressed by how much the Marula oil has changed my skin,” she said.
“My skin today is glowing. I’m not wearing any filters.
“Of course, my skin is not that perfect anymore and I’m aging, but under my eyes isn’t cracking anymore.”
She looked at her face from different angles and revealed that she was wearing makeup but not much powder.
She said mature skin looks better with less powder before continuing to rave about the oil that improved her natural complexion.
“Really I am obsessed and you should definitely try it,” she said holding up the oil.
“$6.99 at Trader Joe’s Marula oil.
“They also sell Marula oil at Sephora and it’s way more expensive.

“It’s definitely a thumbs up from me.
“Look at that, it’s glowing no filter at all,” she said posing.
Drunk Elephant’s mini virgin marula luxury face oil costs $38 at Sephora, while Marula facial oil at Trader Joe’s is just $6.99.
The product description says, “Trader Joe’s Marula Facial Oil is produced from the first (virgin) cold-pressing of marula seeds, harvested only when the fruit has fallen to the ground.
“The oil is light-textured and not greasy. It’s especially good for hydrating skin.
“Marula Oil also offers antioxidants to promote a soft radiance—that glowing visage you’ve been hoping for.”
Samia applied the Marula oil in another video, warming it between her hands before rubbing it all over her face.
She revealed that she usually has very dry skin but the budget-friendly beauty buy keeps her skin hydrated.
“I use it every single day twice a day,” she said.
“My whole skin, under my eyes before makeup and in my nails because it hydrates.”
Both videos received hundreds of likes and viewers said they were eager to try the oil for themselves.
“Thanks, Trader Joe’s you guys saved my skin and my pocket,” Samia said.
According to an article published by Healthline, Manula oil has a variety of beneficial components.
Among them are amino acids which have hydrating and anti-aging properties, fatty acids, and antioxidants which fight free radicals.
The oil may be useful for preventing stretch marks, smoothing fine lines, and keeping skin well-nourished.
