Argan oil has burst on to the beauty scene and made quite a splash. It is a light-weight oil that is native to Morocco and is filled to the brim with vitamin E and fatty acids, which is a powerful combination to boost skin’s health. This liquid gold helps moisturise skin, soothe dry, flaky patches and is known even to reduce acne. Watch the below video to know how your skin can benefit from argan oil.
All oils are not created equally
There are a number of facial oils that are available in the market, like olive oil, avocado oil and jojoba oil. Some of these oils suit oily skin and some others suit only dry skin. However, argan is one oil that suits all skin types because it is neither too heavy nor too light.
It is a perfect moisturiser for your skin
One of the most common uses for argan oil is to use it as a moisturiser. If your skin goes dry in winter, we suggest you give argan oil a shot. Another good way to include argan oil in your skincare is to use argan oil infused cream and massage it into your skin every morning. Whether it is your face or your body, it can give your skin a boost of vitamin E and fatty acids to replenish the skin cells.
Argan oil does not clog your pores
What if we told your oil cancels oil? It is popular belief that most oils just sit on the top layer of your skin and clog your pores and make you look oilier. Argan oil is non-comedogenic, which means it will not clog your pores. It is a rich source of vitamin E, keratin and squalene and antioxidants. This makes it a popular choice for nourishing and hydrating your skin.
It helps reduce acne
Argan oil regulates the production of sebum and using it regularly will reduce breakouts.
Delays the signs of ageing
If you are 30 and above, and you are looking for a way to deal with wrinkles and fine lines, make it a habit to massage a few drops of this oil on your face and neck before bed, every night. The antioxidants in the oils will nourish your skin, boost collagen production and will make your skin look supple.
A remedy for stretch marks
Stretch marks are a common issue that many people face and it is also very difficult to get rid of them. This is where argan oil comes into the picture. Due to its high vitamin E content, it increases the elasticity of the skin and thereby reduces the appearance of stretch marks. Apply it on your stretch marks to see noticeable difference in a few months.
