Benefits of Argan oil for the skin, hair and nails
- Deep hydration: It's a natural moisturiser, rich in fatty acids (oleic and linoleic) and prevents moisture loss without leaving a greasy residue
- Anti-aging & skin elasticity: It helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles while improving skin elasticity
- Acne reduction: It can help treat acne by reducing sebum levels in individuals with oily skin, contrary to the belief that all oils cause breakouts
- Soothes inflammation: Due to high vitamin E and anti-inflammatory properties, it helps soothe conditions like psoriasis, rosacea, and dermatitis
- Protects skin: It contains antioxidants such as tocopherols, which protect skin from free radical damage caused by the sun
- Improves skin texture: Regular application restores smoothness, reduces dry, rough patches on elbows and heels and softens cuticles.
- Deep conditions hair: Keeping it on overnight (using a shower cap or whatever to protect your pillows from the oil and keep it in the hair) really helps to provide deep conditioning to the hair, giving it lustre and shine.
- Controls frizz and adds shine: It really helps to tame frizzy hair, smooths split ends and transforms dry hair into soft glossy, shiny strands. Use it before styling, to give that same shine.
- Strengthens nails: It helps to reduce brittleness, enhances shine and prevents nail breakage.
The best Argan oil is from Morocco (as the nuts grow there natively). Use it every day and see how your skin becomes like glass skin. It's really good as it gives dehydrated skin the best hydration (we need it when we are in air conditioning, which dries the skin).
