It seems like every where you look face creams, cuticle oils, and hair products are all starting to add argan Oil to their ingredients. This dry oil has so many beauty benefits I am not surprised it is in such high demand. Argan oil is naturally full of Omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants, linoleic acid, vitamin A, and vitamin E. Argan oil's versitile components come together to form what some beauty experts would consider to be liquid gold.
The Benefits for Skin & Hair
- Omega 3 Fatty Acids: The skin's elasticity is replenished from the fatty acids and the hair is left shiny and moisturized.
- Anitoxidants: This has anti-aging qualities by reducing the production of free radicals, and free radicals age the skin. The antioxidants can also stimulate the hair follicle for hair growth.
- Linoleic Acid: Skin inflammation is reduced from linoleic acid. This is good for acne and razor burn. Another great quality of linoleic acid is that it's moisture retentive, so hair stays healthy and less likely to have breakage.
- Vitamins A & E: This will fight wrinkles, smooth the skin, fade brown spots, and is also good for stretch marks and scars. The tocopherol from the vitamin e also helps the skin's elasticity. Vitamin e is also another great component of argan oil that helps the hair to grow.
Using 100% cold pressed argan oil is the best. This will ensure that you get all the benefits argan oil has to offer in it's purest form. You can use pure argan oil by itself as a mouisurizer for the hair, skin, or nails. If you already have a favorite moisturizer you can always take a drop of argan oil and that moisturizer in the palm of your hand, mix the two together, and apply the moisturizer like you normally would. You can even add argan oil to your favorite shampoo, conditioner, or hair cream. The possibilities are endless with argan oil!
Test Before Use
**When using any type of pure oil, always do a test patch somewhere on your arms or legs 24 hours before use. You want to make sure you don't have a negative reaction. If you have a negative reaction where you did a test patch discontinue use. Since argan oil is derived from Argania spinosa tree fruit, the tree's fruits are considered to be tree nuts. So if you have any tree nut allergies argan oil is probably not for you.**
