Argan oil is one of the rarest and the most expensive of oils. It grows only in South West Morocco. Argan oil is produced from an Argan nut coming from Argan tree. The reason of it being costly is that it requires a lot of manual labor to produce oil from a nut and three whole days for a lady to produce one whole litre of argan oil.
Beauty products touted to contain this liquid gold have more of silicone than Argan oil.
It’s a one stop shop for all your skin’s beauty needs and I will tell you how you can use it.
Below are 17 ways to use organic argan oil in your daily life:
1.Great for softening the heels – Forget the anti crack creams that you see advertised daily. I know it’s one of the biggest problems for women and Argan oil with its natural healing and softening properties gently enters the skin and repairs it. Massage with a few drops and you are good to go.
2.Encourage nail growth and softens the cuticles- Massaging with a few drops of argan oil boosts nail growth.
3. Removes stretch marks – Argan oil minimizes the stretch marks on your belly.
4. Bath and body lotion- A little amount of argan oil can be added into the bath or body lotion and it will make the bath more nourishing for your skin.
5. For your face – There’s a myth created by the beauty industry that oil is bad for your facial skin. Conditions like acne are the result of playful hormones and an excess production of sebum coupled with bacteria. Argan oil is a dry oil that goes well with your skin, moisturizing and smoothening it. It is not a greasy oil. Massage it directly to your skin for a great glow.
6. Make a Face mask- In one of my posts I shared about making a natural face mask from green tea powder or matcha. It’s very simple. All you need to do is mix little water or aloe vera gel into matcha and attain a consistent mixture. You can then add a few drops of argan oil to make it a rejuvenating mask. Or else you can add argan oil to a pumpkin face mask. You can also take some yoghurt( preferably goat milk), lemon juice and then mix it all with some argan oil. Anything works. Rinse off with warm water or aloe vera juice.
7. Hydrating Toner – Adding a few drops of argan oil to orange or rose water toner makes it a facial toner to hydrate and tone simultaneously.
8. Exfoliating Lip Scrub – Slice a lemon into two and apply argan oil on the open end of one. Gently rub onto your lips for exfoliating it. Rinse off later
9.Lip moisturizer- The basic idea here is get something grainy to remove the dead cells on your lips. To moisturize your lips, add a few drops of argan oil, one tablespoon of vanilla extract and add both to brown sugar and rub onto your lips,then rinse off.
10. Leave-on Conditioner – It’s a great after shower conditioner, when your hair is still wet apply few drops of argan oil which hydrates your hair and leaves it silky.
11. Hair Styling Shine – Argan oil imparts a rich shine to your hair. No matter your hair type: dry, brittle, unmanageable, frizzy, thin, thick, coarse, straight, wavy, curly, or coily, Argan oil will add shine, tame frizz, help straighten your hair, or enhance your natural curls.
It does not go away for a long time.
12. Overnight Hair Treatment – A generous amount of Argan oil when massaged onto the scalp and left overnight will make it softer and provide a rich soft texture. Massage a generous amount of argan oil into your hair, ends and scalp. Wrap your hair and leave it on while you sleep.
13.Argan oil as a Hot-Oil-Treatment- Massage a healthy amount and cover the hair with a towel.Sit in Sauna or under a hooded dryer for 15-30 minutes
14.Argan oil as a Hair-Growth-Treatment – Being rich in Vitamin F it repairs the skin cells. Spray argan oil on your finger tips and gently exfoliate your scalp for 15 minutes.
15. For dry itchy scalp- Argan oil removes the dead sebum and opens the pores and removes the itchy tendency
16. Good for health- Argan oil is also edible. Argan oil is highly beneficial for those with arthritic or rheumatic conditions and helps to strengthen the circulatory and immune systems. For these reasons, argan oil can be helpful in relieving general aches and pains as well as sore or stiff muscles.
17. Good for hands- Be it for removing the pain or for make it look good its good for the hands
