It is native to Morocco. In Morocco it is commonly eaten as a dip for bread or drizzled over pasta or couscous. But argan oil also has a variety of cosmetic uses. - Nighttime Moisturizer --------------------- Apply one drop to moisturize your whole face and keep it soft and smooth. - Skin Toner ---------- Add 2 to 4 drops to your toner to take advantage of the oil’s nutrients before moisturizing. - Exfoliating ----------- Mix with brown sugar and use as a facial scrub. It will exfoliate and promote healthy surface cell turnover. - Acne ---- Argan oil’s high linoleum acid content helps to reduce inflammation caused by acne. - Razor Bumps and Burns --------------------- Argan oil is an effective treatment for men and women after shaving and also speeds the healing process. - Leave-in Conditioner -------------------- This non-greasy oil makes for the perfect leave-in conditioner. Argan oil helps to tame frizz and fly-aways and protects against the heat of hot tools such as blow dryers, flat irons, and curling irons. - Lip Conditioner --------------- Argan oil makes for a wonderful lip treatment or lip balm substitute. Rub 1 to 2 drops on your lips and wipe away any excess. This not only heals cracked lips but leaves your lips feeling soft, smoother, and conditioned. - Dry Feet and Heels ------------------ If you are experiencing dry, cracking skin on your feet or heels, rub 2 to 4 drops onto your feet paying special attention to the affected areas. Cover with a pair of socks, let the oil soak in, and then remove. - Stretch Marks ------------- Argan oil can help to prevent stretch marks by improving the skin’s elasticity. Warm 2 to 3 drops of pure argan oil in the palm of your hands and gently rub into any problem areas. - Whole-body Moisturizer ---------------------- Add a couple of drops of argan oil to coconut oil (or any other natural moisturizing carrier oil) to enjoy all-over dry skin relief. - Overnight Deep Conditioning Treatment ------------------------------------- If you have dry, brittle hair, do an overnight deep conditioning treatment with argan oil once a week. Apply 1 to 2 drops of argan oil from the mid-lengths to ends of your hair and let sit until morning. - Nails ----- Argan oil’s non-greasy moisture is an ideal treatment for cuticles and nails. Remove all nail polish from finger and toe nails and rinse thoroughly before applying argan oil.
