ALL THE WAYS TO USE ARGAN OIL
What is Argan oil, what is it for, and how can it be used?
Often called liquid gold for its nourishing and moisturizing properties, Argan oil is perfect for both skin and hair. But how is it used, and what are its benefits? Let’s start from the basics
What is Argan Oil?
Argan oil is derived from the seeds of the fruit of the Argan tree, which grows exclusively in Morocco and has been a UNESCO heritage since 1988. It is rich in vitamins E and A as well as many antioxidants.
What makes Argan oil special is that it’s a natural product that doesn’t need to be part of another formulation—it can be used in its pure form.
Here are some of the ways you can use Argan oil:
For Skin
-
As a Moisturizer:
Argan oil helps keep the skin hydrated and soft. Because it absorbs quickly and is non-greasy, you can apply it directly to your face for perfect hydration, thanks to its high vitamin E and fatty acid content. -
Anti-Aging Action:
The antioxidants in Argan oil make it an excellent anti-aging product. With frequent application—a few drops every night—you can improve your skin’s elasticity and reduce wrinkles. -
For Very Dry Skin or Itchiness:
If you have very dry skin or suffer from itchiness, Argan oil can be a great ally. Vitamin E and fatty acids nourish damaged skin, while its moisturizing properties combat dryness. -
For Acne:
Acne is often caused by excess oil on the skin. Argan oil helps restore balance by providing hydration and repairing damaged cells. To see results, apply the oil twice daily after cleansing your face. -
For Chapped Lips:
A few drops of Argan oil can work wonders on chapped lips or simply to keep them soft and supple.
For Hair
-
As a Conditioner:
Argan oil works as a hair conditioner, leaving it soft, shiny, and less prone to split ends. -
For Styling:
It can also be used as a styling product. By softening the hair, it makes combing easier. Apply it to dry hair before brushing for better manageability.
For the Whole Body
Argan oil is excellent for overall body care, especially for hands, feet, and nails.
- For Fragile Nails: A few drops of Argan oil applied at night can nourish and strengthen weak nails.
- For Dry Hands and Rough Skin: Massage a small amount of oil onto your hands and feet before bed to hydrate and soften the skin, leaving it smooth and rejuvenated.
Incorporating Argan oil into your beauty routine is a simple yet effective way to nourish and care for your skin, hair, and nails!
