Moroccan Liquid Gold – Argan Essential Oil

Argan oil is produced in Morocco, where it is called liquid gold and has been used for centuries. Argan tree, lat. Argania spinosa, bears large, round, green fruits. Inside them is a nut from which this oil is obtained. It looks a little darker and redder than olive oil. It is estimated that a liter of the oil requires 20 hours of labor and about 100 kg of fresh fruit.
This truly valuable oil has become one of the most sought-after natural beauty treatments. Argan oil would be of great importance in nutrition as well, but because of its high price, it is rarely found on the table for now.
The impact of this oil is great in the end so that it fully justifies and validates both its price and its nickname “liquid gold”.
Since it is most commonly used for cosmetic purposes, we can see what makes argan oil so good for beauty care. In addition to essential fatty acids, argan oil is rich in vitamins, especially vitamin E, which successfully fights free radicals. The high levels of essential fatty acids in argan oil give the skin hydration power while keeping the skin free to breathe.

Argan essential oil also promotes microcirculation and provides maximum nutrition for skin cells. As an almost perfect cosmetic, this Moroccan oil protects and nourishes the face, nails, hair and skin. It is not negligible that argan oil is very easy to use because it is a complete beauty care product and does not need any additives other than plain water.

Benefits of Argan Oil

How is Argan essential oil used?

Argan face oil is usually used twice a day, in the morning and in the evening, so that after washing it with a still-wet face, apply only a drop or two of pure oil, then smear it well. This Moroccan skin oil replenishes moisture, soothes inflamed and irritated skin, helps in the treatment of acne, eczema, regulates sebum secretion, evens complexion, reduces wrinkles, tightens, regenerates and rejuvenates the skin. Which means it is suitable and useful for all skin types.

For hair care, this oil is applied after washing on damp hair. Hair restores softness, gives it a natural glow, revitalizes damaged areas and promotes hair growth. Rub it in the root of the hair twice a week and allow it to act overnight. It will relieve the scalp from dandruff as it regulates sebum secretion.

For the care of brittle nails, argan oil is applied before bedtime on moist hands, rubbed into the skin and nails to act during the night.

For body care, after bathing, rub this oil which will leave the skin with moisture and make it gentle and soft. It prevents stretch marks and can also remove skin scars after prolonged use.

As far as the fatty feeling is concerned, there is no need to worry about it because argan oil is absorbed quickly and leaves no greasy marks even on the face.
