Beauty Benefits of argan oil for skin and Hair
Argan oil for skin
Moisturising:
After
your cleansing routine, apply a few drops evenly on your face and neck. Argan
oil is non-greasy and soaks in without leaving you feeling sticky or slippery.
But
if you are unsure of using oil as a moisturiser, ensure you are using a
moisturising cream, as it is an essential beauty product to maintain healthy
skin. Olay Total Effects Day cream is a dream product that also fights signs of ageing.
Rejuvenating face mask:
To
your existing home-made or store-bought mask, add a few drops. Alternatively,
you could make a mask at home by mixing 3 drops of argan oil with 3 teaspoons
Greek yogurt, 1 tablespoon honey and 1 tablespoon lemon juice. Leave on for 10
minutes and rinse off with warm water. You’ll see a natural glow like never
before.
Body lotion:
After
you’ve washed off the soap, apply a few drops over your wet skin and rinse off.
Pat your skin dry.
Exfoliation:
Swap
your readymade scrub for this homemade one with argan oil and apart from savings,
you’ll get the added advantage of anti-ageing. In your palm, rub a tablespoon
of brown sugar with a few drops of argan oil and scrub your face in a circular
motion for 2-4 minutes. Rinse and pat dry. This also doubles up as a lip scrub.
Pregnant
women constantly cribbing about their stretch marks will find relief from
stretched, sagging or post-birth skin. Argan oil is bursting with vitamin
E which protects them against these unsightly marks. Rubbing a few drops on
breasts, stomach, bottom and thighs during pregnancy makes the skin supple and
increases elasticity.
Argan oil for hair
Leave-in conditioner:
After
you’ve shampooed your hair, work in a few drops on your scalp and hair ends for
deep hydrating and moisturising especially for hair that’s daily damaged by
pollution, constant styling and other hair products.
Frizz control & shine:
Fly-aways,
frizz and split ends will meet their end. Ensure that you apply only a few
drops and nothing more as excessive application could weigh your hair down and
make it look ugh-oily.

oil, 1 tablespoon shea butter, 1 tablespoon melted honey and 1 egg yolk. Apply
on your scalp and hair, cover with a shower cap and leave for 1 hour. Then
shampoo.
