There are products in nature that have been used for decades and that we have abandoned in favor of products that do not respect our skin or the environment. Today let’s take a look at argan oil. It is in the south of Morocco that the argan tree grows. There it is called “gift of god” because argan oil brings many benefits. We give you a few.

1. Argan oil can replace your day cream

You think you can’t do without your day cream. Try argan oil. It is excellent for the skin because it allows better elasticity but also better flexibility. Argan oil is also a natural anti-aging. Rich in antioxidants, it effectively fights against skin aging. It can also be used to hydrate the rest of the body, argan oil can not be used only on the face.

If you want to use it as a cosmetic product, you will need to choose a cold-pressed oil, so as not to denature the antioxidants it contains. To be sure you have a good product, we will also advise you to choose an organic oil which will maintain the balance of your skin.

2. Argan oil is healing

In case of dry skin, cracks, stretch marks or eczema, you will find with argan oil an excellent remedy. This oil indeed has quite exceptional healing properties.. It will also allow you to soothe itching or irritation of the skin. To soften skin damaged by a scar, argan oil will also be very beneficial.

In winter, do not hesitate to use it as a lip balm. Apply it to your lips every night and you will no longer suffer from chapping. Also remember to apply it to your hands and feet before going to bed, especially if you frequently suffer from frostbite. This oil is particularly recommended for pregnant women to avoid stretch marks on the stomach, upper thighs and breasts.

3. Argan oil fights acne effectively

As surprising as it may sound, argan oil is formidable for combating acne. We would tend to think that applying an oil on oily skin could only worsen the situation but thanks to its antioxidant power, argan oil allows acne-prone skin to regain its balance, without clogging the pores.

In addition, its healing properties will allow the skin to regenerate more easily and reduce skin inflammation. To use it in the treatment of acne-prone skin, apply a few drops in the morning and evening to clean, cleansed skin.

4. Argan oil protects and nourishes the hair

Want to do away with those toxic hair masks? Use argan oil. To take care of your hair, this oil is ideal. It will nourish them in depth and protect them from external aggressions. It will repair split ends and make your hair softer and shinier.

Argan oil is expensive, so you have to use it intelligently. Do not mask yourself with the oil but add only a few drops of argan oils in your shampoo. You will be truly amazed at the result: stronger, silkier hair. For those who have made colorings, this oil allows to keep longer the radiance of the chosen color.

5. Argan oil protects against cardiovascular disease

In Morocco, for centuries, argan oil has been consumed to prevent cardiovascular disease. Many studies have indeed shown that this oil reduced the cardiovascular risk because it plays a role in blood pressure, plasma lipids and antioxidant status. It also has anticoagulant properties, which is important in preventing heart disease.

Other studies have suggested that argan oil has high levels of tocopherols and squalenes, which would make it a product capable of slow the proliferation of prostate cancer cells. Its antioxidant virtues are in any case excellent in preventing cancer.
