6 Ways Natural Argan Oil is Great for Every Day

If you have sensitive skin, you know how difficult it can be to achieve a smooth, blemish-free complexion. From flare-ups to redness and skin irritation, your skin certainly lets you know when it's not happy and balanced.

Before you know it, you'd rather hide beneath layers of makeup. Don't! To help your skin, let it breathe and moisturize with natural Argan Oil.

Argan Oil is the perfect accompaniment to soothe a variety of issues and help you achieve healthy, glowing skin. Here are six key reasons your skin will love natural Argan Oil.

Anti-Aging

Argan Oil's combination of ferulic acid and vitamins A and E help revive skin elasticity, which can also reduce wrinkles and present more youthful skin. Need an anti-inflammatory, anti-aging boost for your skin?

Non-Pore-Clogging (Non-Comedogenic)

This oil, endemic to Morocco, is non-comedogenic and won't clog up your pores; the zero rating lets you know it will absorb quickly without fuss. For comparison, coconut oil is considered comedogenic, or pore-clogging, and has a rating of four. Argan Oil is also lightweight and non-greasy, which is perfect for a quick touch-up as you're headed out the door.

Anti-Inflammatory

Thanks to antioxidant carotenoids and heart-friendly nutrients like phytosterols (two of which include schottenol and spinasterol), all natural Argan Oil helps reduce swelling and irritation for everything from rashes to eczema to other skin problems. Are your shaving sessions notorious for causing painful post-shave bumps and rashes? We hear you. With this oil you can start to see - and feel - smoother, happier skin.

Nourishing

Argan Oil is rich in healthy vitamins, essential fatty acids and antioxidants. All combined, it provides one healthy boost for your skin! Vitamin E (alpha and gamma tocopherol) helps nourish the skin, prevent moisture loss, and heal wounds and scars. Of the fatty acids, 43% are oleic and 36% are linoleic. 

Balancing Oil Production

By regulating the skin's oil production, Argan Oil helps your body know when to stop cranking out the oil. With less sebum (oil) production, you'll end up with less acne naturally.

Versatile

Apart from your face and body, you can also apply Argan Oil to your hair, eyelashes, lips and nails. Odorless and lightweight, natural Argan Oil  won't irritate delicate membranes or sensitive eye areas. You won't need to worry about it weighing down your hair, either. Use it alone or in combination with other favorite moisturizers for a well-rounded beauty routine boost. You can even give your lips a perk by making yourself an Argan Oil Sugar Lip Scrub!

How to Use Natural Argan Oil

You can run a small amount of oil (roughly 4-6 drops) through your hair, and you can also massage it into each nail cuticle. For your oily or problematic skin, pour 3-5 drops onto your (clean!) fingers and rub across your face gently. You can apply Argan Oil before shaving for use as a shave oil, or you can wait until after shaving to use it as an effective moisturizer. Moisturized skin is also much less likely to result in painful nicks.
Argan Oil is a fantastic product for everything from calming irritated or oily skin to soothing painful razor burns. Soon enough, you'll wonder how you ever got by without it. Want to learn more? Learn about the History of Argan Oil!
