I have been using oil on my skin for years. I started with an oil from Decleor that I found in Sephora over 12 years ago and I was hooked when I saw how my skin responded. When Argan Oil was introduced I tried a travel size bottle and knew that we would have a committed relationship.

What It Is
Argan Oil is an all-natural, 100% organic, chemical-free beauty marvel that really works. Produced from the Argan tree in semi-deserts of Morocco, Argan Oil has been used by Moroccan women for centuries for its nutritional and cosmetic benefits.
Commonly referred to as “liquid gold” or “The Gold of Morocco”, Argan Oil is an incredibly rich source of Vitamin E and essential fatty acids. It has astonishing healing, conditioning and anti-aging properties to keep your skin and hair nourished and revitalized and to keep you looking beautiful from head to toe. Argan Oil is not only a “super food” for the skin and hair but for the whole body. Having twice as much Vitamin E as olive oil including vital antioxidants, Argan Oil plays a major role in a healthy diet and is commonly used in traditional Moroccan recipes.
What It Does
This multi-tasking beauty can be used to:
- Soften dry skin — Argan Oil’s naturally high concentration in Vitamin E and essential fatty acids work to alleviate dry skin and rough patches.
- Help minimize fine lines — Smooth Argan Oil over skin and under your eyes for intense moisture and to reduce appearance of fine lines.
- Help heal acne blemishes and scarring — With regular use, Argan Oil is widely reported to heal existing acne blemishes, prevent the occurrence of new breakouts and help reduce scarring.
- Soften cuticles — Massage a few drops of Argan Oil onto your cuticles to soften and condition.
- Treat split ends — Rub oil between your hands and smooth through hair to minimize fly-aways and treat split ends.
- Give skin a fresh, youthful look — Argan Oil easily absorbs into skin to give you a youthful, dewy glow.
- And it’s safe enough for use on your baby — 100% pure, organic Argan Oil is safe enough to use on your baby’s delicate skin to help treat dryness and soothe redness. You can also smooth over your stomach during pregnancy to help prevent stretch marks.
I would add to this list. We have a pug, Luciano, and pugs have facial folds. If these folds are not kept clean they start to smell, and worse, become infected. I use Agran Oil on Luciano’s facial folds and it does a wonderful job of keeping the folds clean, moisturized and healthy. Luciano actually likes his morning facial.
Also, a drop on a q-tip removes any makeup application mistake without having to start all over again.
I use multiple products from one skincare line, which I think is a little unusual given the amount of products available, but these products definitely work for me so I am faithful to the brand; however, on those evenings when I am too lazy or too tired to go through the whole routine, after cleansing, of applying serum, eye cream, face moisturizer and neck cream or in the mornings when I am feeling rushed………..I reach for Argan Oil and know that my skin will be protected and moisturized in one step. The oil is not heavy or greasy, it absorbs instantly and foundation goes on beautifully.
In the Summer I often use it in place of my favorite serum, moisturizer and eye cream during the day because, with the heat and humidity, I don’t like the feel of multiple products on my face.
You will find that it fits perfectly into whatever your skincare routine is and whatever product line you are using. It is that versatile. All you need is 2-3 drops on clean skin and you are all set. Don’t forget the neck and decollete and use a dropper full when you get out of the shower on still damp skin as well.
Don’t be afraid to use oil on your skin. It will balance your skin so it is perfect for all skin types.
Trying new things. Have fun.
