Question: What are the benefits of Argan oil and how can I use it?

 CleansingforLife 6 months ago

Argan for the skin, just a few drops warmed in the fingertips and applied to the skin is enough to soften and moisturise. High levels of vitamin E and anti-oxidants help neutralise free-radicals and reduce the appearance of fine lines.
Plant sterols and saponins improve problem skin. For the hair apply and leave for 30mins prior to washing.
As a food the argan seeds are toasted before the oil is pressed. Argan food oil is 80% unsaturated with twice the vitamin E of olive oil. Studies have shown it can lower cholesterol. It has a rich nutty flavour and is delicious on salads.

Though I have never heard of your product, intrigued, i have done a little research into for you, and compiled some, perhaps, helpful websites.

Regarding hair:

The product promises to:

"Argan oil easily hydrates hair so it stops roughness and curliness to give you smoother, softer hair. As the argan oil enters the hair shafts, hair elasticity is improved and hair growth is stimulated. Hair shafts are smoothed down by argan oil so you get smoothness that makes uncontrollable, unmanageable hair go away. Argan oil has natural antioxidants that make quick work of repairing hair damage at the cellular level so your hair bounces back to health."


The oils itself seems to promise the benefits of hydration, moisturising and strengthening of hair.

Moroccan oil - a product available on the market using argan oil- lists its ingredients as:

Cyclopentasiloxane, Dimethicone, Cyclomethicone, Butylphenyl, MethylPropional, Argania Spinoza Kernal Oil (Aragan Oil), Linseed (Linum Usitatissimum) Extract, Fragrance Supplement, D&C Yellow-11, D&C Red-17, Coumarin, Benzyl Benzoate, Alpha-Isomethyl Ionone.

Please note that the 7th on the list is argan. The predominant chemicals are silicones, which coat the hair, promoting that glossy sheen you long for. In order to receive any benefit from natural ingredients they need to penetrate the cuticle and deposit moisture to the cortex of your hair.

Having noted this, there are great testimonials and I can only recommend that if you are going to use it for you hair, there are most likely products on the market that have similar results for a fraction of the price- by all means, please let me know how the product works for you.

Regarding skin:

"The Argan oil will moisturise your skin as well as bring nourishment to it because of its components such as essential fatty acids, Vitamin E, Sterols, Polyphenols and many more. It is also packed with antioxidants that protect the skin from the damaging effects of the elements."

Although skin care products do help in keeping the skin young and beautiful, they only cover a small portion of proper skin care. Young, beautiful and healthy skin starts with living healthy - the argan team seem to admit this!

The oil, it seems ot me, therefore acts as a barrier and a preventative measure- if the damage is already doen, then you will have to start looking at other products and non-surgical solutions.

I have scoped the globe developing and discovering the perfect ingredients for the perfect skin solutions- each ailment needs its own core cream to tackle a problem- argan promises miracles- acne, dermatitis, younger more youthful skin- all in one product. I think that no wonder product exists.

My SkinScription programme tackles each problem individually from acne to ageing.

My products are available from the online shop, they are tried and tested and I swear by them- and so do all my clients.

Feel free to try them -and argan oil- I would love to know the results!

I personally use products that contain argan oil. I love the products because they hydrate and moisturize dry, brittle hair. Once applied, the oil does not weigh the hair down, nor does it leave a greasy residue. It absorbs very well into the hair shaft. I would highly recommend argan oil products!
As mentioned, argan oil can also be applied to the skin to hydrate and moisturize. For colder weather or extremely dry skin, I would also suggest using it on your skin after showering and then layering on a lotion or cream afterwards to soften your skin.

Argon oil ,olive oil almond oil can all be used to condition the hair ,You can place about a teaspoon on your hands rub palms and apply to your hair,massage well especially to the ends ,wrap in a warm towel and after a few hours shampoo off.Or if you have time you can apply more oil ,leave overnight but sleep on a folded towel on your pillow case,fCling film will keep you awake .It is important that you massage the oil out with neat shampoo,once loosened rinse really well.there should be no need for conditioner if you have done this properly as this is a well known tip from top hairdressers and models prior to a shoot

The 4 oils I have used mostly are Sesame Oil: helps to cure inflammation and swellings, helps to reduce muscular aches and pains and moistures the skin.
Olive Oil: Reduces stiffiness in the muscles and reduces swelling and inflammation .
Almond Oil: Reduces skin irritations, nourishes the skin and helps to reduce pain or stiffness
Joboba: good for hair conditions and you only need a little ammount.
I also have heard Aloe Vera is good for hair conditions if mixed with a carrier. If you are looking at a specific problem let me know.

Argan is high in essential fatty acids, it is a good source of unsaturated fatty acids, vitamin E and antioxidents. It is very beneficial for the skin, hair and nails; Integumentary system. It can be used to revitalize and hydrate dry, dull skin.

Argan can be used to treat conditions such acne, eczema and psoriasis. Other benefits are believed to be helping to fade stretchmarks, fine lines and wrinkles as it improves skin's elasticity. A very small amount of Argan Oil, or Liquid Gold as it's called, goes a long way, rub some directly onto the skin, especially at night.

In addition to all the conditioning benefits that have been mentioned below I love the moroccan oil treatment at the end of styling or throughout the day just to smooth down any fly-aways or frizz.

It can also be used in some colour processes as an additional conditioning treatment but you would have to check with your stylist or colour technician that it wouldn't act as a barrier to the colour.
