10 Argan Oil Benefits for Hair and Skin

Can you imagine that in this world there is a fruit that is so delicious and nutritious that goats will literally climb trees to get to them? Inside that delectable fruit is a little nut, which gives us argan oil. For many, many years, those that reside in the Argan Forest in Morocco have extracted this oil, which serves many purposes.

Argan oil is chock full of Vitamin A and Vitamin E, both of which have healing properties. It also contains linoleic acid, antioxidants and Omega-6 fatty acids.

If you own any high-end cosmetics or hair supplies, you will likely find argan oil listed in their ingredients. While a bottle of 100% argan oil is pricey, you will only need to use one or two drops a day, so it will last you a very long time.

In today's video, we will discuss our top ten ways to implement argan oil into your daily beauty routine.  

1. Skin Toner

Argan oil can help to keep your skin clean. To use, begin with one cup of boiling water. Pour the water over a green tea bag and let steep for seven to ten minutes. Then, remove the tea bag and bring the tea to room temperature. Next, add one or two drops of your favorite essential oil. We would recommend orange, lemon, or tea tree.

2. Nighttime Moisturizer

Because of the Vitamin A and Vitamin E that are in argan oil, it is great to use as a night-time moisturizer. The oil absorbs into your skin quickly and will not leave your skin oily. 

3. Acne

Argan oil is high in linoleic acid, which helps to reduce inflammation in your skin caused by acne, rashes, bug bites and skin infections. It can even lower the sebum levels in your body to combat oily skin. 

4. Exfoliating

Purchasing exfoliating products in the store can be pricey. Luckily, we discovered a do-it-yourself exfoliator using argan oil that not only removes dead skin cells but also fights signs of aging. 

5. Razor Bumps and Burn

An issue that plagues both men and women alike is razor burn. Argan oil can soothe the discomfort and heal the inflamed skin. 
Used one or two drops of argan oil and massage into the affected area. The area will heal quickly and you will also reduce the chances of getting ingrown hairs. 

6. Stretch Marks

Argan oil can help to make your skin more elastic and therefore can help to prevent stretch marks from forming. This is because the Vitamin A and Vitamin E help to replenish and moisturize your skin. You can accomplish this by using two to three drops of argan oil to massage into the skin of your stomach, hips, thighs, or any other area of concern. 

7. Lip Conditioner

Argan oil can help the skin of your lips, as well. Simply use one or two drops as a Chap-stick substitute and wipe away any excess. The oil will heal cracked lips and keep them protected from the elements. 

8. Leave-In Conditioner & Styling

As we discussed earlier, argan oil is not greasy and is a perfect addition to your hair styling as a leave-in conditioner. The oil will tame your hair, protect your hair against the elements and repair any split ends. 

9. Dry Feet and Heels

As you can imagine, argan oil can help treat any cracked or dry skin on your feet and heels. Just rub two drops onto your feet and pay close attention to the dry or cracked areas. If your skin is especially dry, you may need to add a few more drops to properly moisturize your feet. 

10. Nails

Since argan oil is not greasy, it is also great to use on your nails and cuticles. The oil conditions the nails and your cuticles to prevent hangnails from forming. 

Be sure to remove any nail polish and wash your hands and feet prior to applying. Then, dab just a fraction of one drop directly onto each nail. Do this one at a time and rub the oil into your nail bed and cuticle. Keep the oil on until you have completed all nails. Then, be sure to wash your hands and feet thoroughly. You can then add nail polish if you so desire.
