Argan oil comes from a nut in the Argan woodlands in Morocco. The nut is pressed, and the oil that comes from it has been found to have numerous benefits. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is commonly used in beauty products and moisturizers. It contains a lot of fatty acids that make it nourishing for all skin types. It can even be used on your hair. It also contains a lot of vitamins, nutrients, and antioxidants. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

While there are many beauty products that claim to have the same benefits as Argan oil, most aren\u2019t natural or as effective. Argan oil has very little side effects and won\u2019t aggravate other skin conditions. If you want to improve the way your skin looks and feels, you should consider trying Argan oil. It\u2019s perfect for hair, skin and even skin problems like psoriasis and eczema.  <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are a few of the many reasons why your skin and hair need Argan oil.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Restores Skin Elasticity<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

As we age, our skin loses elasticity. That makes it more susceptible to wrinkles and scarring. While you can\u2019t get back the elasticity lost, you can restore some of it with the help of Argan oil. The oil helps the moisture the skin and makes it soft. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dry skin<\/a> is more likely to crack and becomes damaged when it stretches. Skin that is moisturized and soft can stretch more easily. It works harder and bounces back easier. You can apply Argan oil all over your body. Many people prefer to apply it as soon as they get out of the shower to help hold in the moisture. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can apply it as often as you want and it can even be applied to psoriasis and other skin rashes. Some lotions contain Argan oil, but you can also buy it in its pure oil form. Be careful not to get it in your eyes or nose, as it may be painful. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

2. Evens Skin Tones<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you suffer from dark marks, or uneven skin tones, Argan oil<\/a> may help. The oil can help penetrate the skin and remove impurities to help make the skin look younger and tone it. When your skin tone is even your skin looks younger and healthier. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can buy skin toner products, but most of them contain a lot of chemicals that can actually cause harm to your skin. Argan oil is a very option because it\u2019s natural and it\u2019s effective. When your skin tone is even, you won\u2019t have to wear as much makeup, which will help keep your skin looking great too. You can apply Argan oil to your skin on a daily basis. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you feel your skin is starting to get oily, just take a break from using it. Some people prefer to apply argan oil to their skin at night before bed so it can soak in all night. They wake up with fresh, moisturized skin and a nice glow.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

3. Hides Stretch Marks<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Stretch marks are scars that appear on the skin. As the skin stretches to make up for weight gain<\/a> or pregnancy, the deeper layers start to tear. The tears happen under the surface of the skin but appear as red marks. They can be deep and dark, or light and pink. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many people have stretch marks on their stomachs, thighs, and arms, but they can appear on almost any part of the body. There are a few options to help fade stretch marks, but many of them can take a long time to show results or can be expensive. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before you try using laser surgery and expensive products, give argan oil a try. Massage it into the skin where the stretch marks are present and allow it to soak in overnight. After applying the oil for a few weeks, you should notice that the stretch marks have faded and the skin looks better. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

4. Fight Dry Hair<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Argan oil is great to use on hair that is dry and lifeless. If you use a lot of products in your hair, color or highlight it often, or just happen to have naturally dry hair, you may be desperate to find something to help make it healthier. Dry hair breaks easily, and it\u2019s harder to tame and style. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Argan oil can help make your hair <\/a>look much better. You can apply it to damp hair after you come out of the shower and style your hair once it dries. The Argan oil coats the hair and adds moisture to it. It keeps the natural moisture inside the hair strands and fights frizz and damage. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can also use the Argan oil treatment and leave it in for a couple of hours before washing it out. When applying the oil, avoid adding it to the scalp, as this can make the scalp look oily.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

5. Moisturizes Skin<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The most effective benefit of Argan oil is how it moisturizes the skin. It\u2019s great to use all over the body and will add moisture to all types of skin. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can apply it to severely damaged dry skin that is crusty or scaly, and see a big difference in just a few days. You can apply it in the morning and night if desired and leave it on under your beauty products. It helps create a moisture barrier that prevents moisture from being lost and allowing the skin to dry out. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you suffer from dry patches on the skin or skin <\/a>problems that other lotions and products can\u2019t heal, Argan oil may be a better option. \u00a0It is also less likely to cause a skin reaction than other products and doesn\u2019t have any harsh chemicals like other lotions and products. You can apply the oil to specific spots or the entire body.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

6. Relieves Eczema<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Eczema <\/a>is a serious skin problem that can be unsightly, and uncomfortable. There\u2019s not much that can help clear it up aside from prescription medications, but even those don\u2019t always work as well as they should. It\u2019s better to try more natural options, as they won\u2019t harm the skin or cause reactions. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Argan oil is a popular treatment option for eczema because it can be used regularly without problems, is affordable, and is natural. It can be applied directly to eczema and massaged deep into the skin. Most people report seeing significant improvement after just a few days of usage. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are unsure if you should apply Argan oil to your skin or eczema, talk to your doctor or dermatologist to make sure you have no allergies or conditions that prevent it from being beneficial to you. If your eczema worsens after using the oil, stop using it.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

7. Fights Frizzy Hair<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Frizzy hair can be a real pain. Some people only experience it during certain weather conditions and others battle it on a daily basis. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are struggling to style and control your frizzy hair, you may find Argan oil useful. Just apply a small amount to the palms of your hands and rub them together. Apply it to your hair avoiding the scalp<\/a>. The oil will coat the hair and help control the frizz. If the frizz is around your hairline, you can pull your hair back and then use the Argan oil to slick it back. You should wash it out at night and repeat daily until you notice the frizziness is gone. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can still style your hair with Argan oil in it, but it may feel heavy and be harder to curl. It works great for straightening naturally curly hair too. It can be applied to both wet and dry hair for results.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

8. Nourishes The Scalp <\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

While you shouldn\u2019t leave Argan oil on your scalp if you plan on wearing your hair down or going out, it can be used overnight or in your home as a scalp treatment. If you have dry scalp or dandruff <\/a>and are tired of seeing your scalp looking flaky, you may need to moisturize it. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can do so by rubbing the Argan oil directly into your scalp and hair. Leave it on overnight or for a few hours and then rinse it off with soap and water. You can use the oil as a scalp treatment on a daily basis if desired. Once the dry scalp is cleared up, you can start to use it less often. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some people use it more often in the winter, as the cold weather tends to dry out the scalp faster than warmer weather. You can also apply the oil to your scalp and then comb it through the rest of your hair.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\r\n
