Moroccan Argan oil has been proven to help with anti-aging because of its high level of vitamin E and antioxidants that rid the body of free radicals. It reduces wrinkles by restoring the skin’s hydro-lipid layer. Argan cools and soothes the skin of ailments like chickenpox, acne, psoriasis, eczema and even stretch marks! It’s also provides natural detoxification and UV protection!
Where Does Argan Oil Come From
The oil comes from the nuts of an Argan tree, which takes about 15 years to yield nuts! When it finally bears its nuts, the entire tree only supplies a couple liters of oil. Until recently Argan trees only grew in the southwest region of Morocco. But, an Israeli company called Sivan developed a strain of Argan that can survive in the Mediterranean climate and supposedly produce 10 times more nuts.
The Benefits Of Moroccan Argan Oil
The benefits of this rare Moroccan oil are countless! It reminds me of vinegar in the way that it’s so universal. But, besides the many healthy skin benefits, it’s good for hair and nails too. You can simply use the pure oil, or there’s great natural hair care products like Acure’s Argan Oil Shampoo, and plenty of natural cosmetics made with it too! I’m using Dark Chocolate + Mint Argan Oil Lip Balm from Acure and I love it! It tingles my lips and I feel good knowing I’m benefiting from it. I even let my little Max (he’s almost 3) use it!

I love argan oil, I use pro naturals moroccan argan oil and it has worked amazing for my hair, leaves it soft, shiny, frizz less and healthy. 😀
how many drops would you use on your face
Thanks for asking Yvonne! About 2-3 drops should cover your entire face 😉
I’ve never heard of using argan oil as an anti-aging skin care option but I’ll have to look into it a little bit more. I’ve got a couple lines developing around my eyes that I’d like to get rid of. I’d really prefer a natural option, which is what argan oil seems to be.
I know that argan oil is very useful for skin. As anti-aging skin care option this product is really good.
I use Argan oil to wash my face at night. The results have been fabulous! I love it!
Very nice infographic-Very easy to understand. Thank you so much Ashley Steinbrinck with useful information.
Argan oil is way worth it – I use an argan oil that has no harmful chemicals, and can be used on hair & skin – its the Somaluxe Argan Oil – I love this product it leaves my hair smooth, silky, and shiny! I couldn’t keep my hands out of my hair because it was so soft and it’s light or at least for my thick straight hair! I just hate that it’s only one size but will definitely repurchase. I never do reviews on products but it’s so good that I had to tell someone!!
This helped me a lot. 🙂 Argan oil is easily one of my favorites, it has tons of great benefits.
You can put a few drops on face after you take a shower and your skin will feel real nice and younthful
