Argan oil is multifunctional. We tell you below what you can use argan oil on the face for.

Argan oil against skin aging

Argan oil is a source of unsaturated fatty acids and vitamin E. These are effective in combating premature skin aging and preventing fine lines. Ferulic acid protects the facial skin against harmful external influences (free radicals). As a result, elasticity is better preserved and the skin acquires a fresh, youthful appearance. In our opinion, argan oil certainly falls under the category of miracle cures for wrinkles.

Organic: What Is Good Argan Oil?

There are big differences in the quality of argan oil. Good, effective argan oil cannot be cheap. If this is the case, there is a good chance that it has been diluted with cheap oils (which clog your pores again). You can usually recognize solvents by the term “enriched oil”. In that case, the concentration of active substances will be lower.

Sometimes it says on the packaging that it is "hand-pressed" argan oil. This sounds appealing but for this procedure the argan nuts are lightly roasted first. This makes the nuts easier to grind by hand. This gives the oil a less pleasant texture, smells stronger and absorbs less well.

Pure argan oil that has been processed properly contains a higher level of essential vitamins. Always choose organic argan oil for your face : cold-pressed and 100% pure!

Finally, did you know that argan oil is also suitable for the rest of your skin and as a hair oil? Curly hair, in particular , loves it and it fits perfectly into the natural Curly Girl method.
