An Introduction to Argan Oil
Take a deep breath when you
read this: there are over 10,000 industrial chemicals in common skin care
products. The average American adult is exposed to 168 hazardous chemicals each
day. And everything applied to the skin, be it lip stick or deodorant, sun
block or general skin care products are absorbed by the body, just like they'd
been eaten.
Remember that scene in the
second season of The Simpsons, in which Mr. Burns ran for Governor, and a
three-eyed fish, affectionately called "Blinky", mutated by the
pollution from Burns's own power plant, came back to haunt him? The natural skin care
movement gets stronger by the day, folks. And one of the more prominent players
in this industry is argan oil. From the deserts of Morocco.
The Many Uses of
Skinception Cold Pressed Cosmetic Argan Oil
Skin care can be expensive.
After all, to look young you need a wrinkle cream and a stretch mark product.
You might use an eye cream, and you certainly need a moisturizer.
What's in your bathroom vanity?
If you're among the
millions of American consumers who want to look young, it's a safe a assumption
that most, if not all of these products and more play a role in your daily skin
care ritual. And so they should. Good skin care products can help you look
beautiful and stay young while you do it.
But there's another
cosmetic you may have heard about that's making the rounds in the skin care
industry. And with a track record of more than 3,500 years in its native
Morocco, it's quickly becoming the go-to skin care product in Europe and North
America. The product is argan oil,
of which Skinception Cold Pressed Cosmetic Argan Oil might be of interest to
you.
Argan Oil
From the ancient argan tree
and grown in a small, UNESCO protected biosphere, argan oil has been used for
millennia, originally by the ancient Phoenicians, for its nutritional, medicinal
and cosmetic properties. Argan oil, for many
consumers, is a popular and affordable natural skin care product. And like a
Swiss Army knife, it's a multi-tasker, with many, many uses for your daily
routine. Of the things argan oil can do, consider that it can:
- Moisturize the skinstop premature agingfight wrinklesreduce stretch markstreat sun damagecondition your hair
- Culinary students and Food Network junkies might also like that argan makes a great cooking oil, though if you're reading this, you're probably more intrigued by what argan oil can do as a natural beauty product. If that's the case, buy cosmetic argan oil, which preserves the integrity of its essential fatty acids and vitamins, rather than culinary argan, which loses these properties.
Argan oil is an excellent
moisturizer, for your face and your body. The absence of parabens or dangerous
chemicals that are absorbed into the body by most common skin care products
makes argan a good entry point into the natural skin care market.
For Your Face - Argan makes
a good night cream, which is a good way to begin with the product. Start with a
small amount. Massage it on your face in a circular motion with your middle or
ring finger (they're weaker than your index finger and less likely to tear).
After a few days, you'll
see a noticeable difference in your facial skin. When that happens, double up
on your argan efforts. Use it in the morning, as a base for your make up or as
a general facial moisturizer, and again at night. Apply it with the same method,
with the same fingers, and voila! - a treatment for wrinkles and acne.
Argan can even treat chapped lips.
For Your Body - To treat
stretch marks, apply argan to your body after your bath or shower. For a
moisturizer, mix argan oil with your regular body lotion, or use argan by
itself. Argan oil hydrates the skin and makes it plump and gives it elasticity.
As an anti-aging product, it's one of the best.
Remember also that sun
damage is a leading cause of wrinkles. Argan helps with that as well. Simply
add argan oil to your body after sun exposure. Just don't add it before you go
out in the sun. For that you need a Broad Spectrum sunscreen.
As a Beauty Product
Argan Oil is nourishing to
the body, always gentle, and leaves no oily residue.
Experiment with argan. If
you choose a product like Skinception Cold Pressed Cosmetic Argan Oil, you're
assured that the product is completely pure, without additives or those dreaded
parabens that research links to heightened risk of breast cancer.
For Your Nails - Argan can
strengthen your nails, make them less brittle and less likely to break off. To
do this, mix equal parts argan and lemon juice, then soak for at least 15
minutes. This is great for your cuticles and should give your nails a healthy
glow.
For Your Hair - Those
rumors that argan makes a good hair conditioner are true. For damaged hair, add
a generous amount, starting at the ends, then wrap in a warm towel. Wear the
towel for at least 30 minutes or over night. Then wash and style as usual.
For dandruff and dry scalp,
massage argan beginning at the ends and into the roots. Do this once or twice a
week. And for frizzy hair, rub one or two drops between your palms and scrunch
into the ends.
A final thought on argan
for hair care. Argan oil is a natural moisturizer than can soften the hair and
give it shine. Yet it's also good for natural hair growth, and to that end,
guys with hair loss might even consider that argan oil can encourage hair
growth, or at least make what's remaining look healthy.
Try Skinception Cold Pressed Cosmetic Argan Oil
If all this appeals to you,
and you're sold on argan oil for its many beauty applications, remember this:
buy it pure, and preferably not from the big labels. Why's that? The big guys
sometimes dilute pure argan with additives that diminish its beauty properties.
And though production of argan oil is done in a very specific region in
Morocco, by the women of that area, the major labels sometimes manufacture
argan in large factories in Casablanca, with little or no benefit from the sale
of argan to the women who made it.
Instead, purchase argan oil
from a smaller skin care label. They're more likely to manufacture argan the
traditional way - by hand - and by the Moroccan women who've perfected the
technique over thousands of years, and in a fair trade co-op, at competitive
wages and with health care and educational opportunities for the women and
their families.
A suggestion? Try
Skinception Cold Pressed Cosmetic Argan Oil, which is argan in its purest state
and manufactured in a fair trade co-op. Yet it comes with the name recognition
of a respected label and live, 24/7 customer support. That's good for peace of
mind, and it's backed by a no risk 60 day money back guarantee.
