Just a small bottle of pure argan oil can give you a long-lasting and versatile performance.
I like to think of this oil as a messenger of natural beauty. I have seen it restore radiance to women and also men who have been disciplined enough to apply it frequently and in the right way.
If you still don't know how to use this organic wonder, here's a list of several argan oil treatments you can try right away.
Argan oil treatments
Stretch mark reduction treatment
Stretch marks are marks that appear on the skin as a result of sudden changes in body weight. They also appear as a result of pregnancy and hormonal imbalances. Because argan oil increases the elasticity of the skin, it is recommended for the healing of stretch marks in their inflammatory stage.
Apply the oil at least twice a day to the affected area.
Anti-wrinkle treatment
Reduce wrinkles and fine lines with this treatment. When you wake up and before going to sleep you should moisten your fingers in pure argan oil 100% and then gently massage in small circles on the wrinkled area.
It is important that your skin is well cleansed beforehand, so that the epidermis can absorb all the nutrients of the oil.
Healing nail treatment
If you've abused your nails too much with poor quality polish and now they tend to split into layers or look dull and aged, then this treatment will work wonders for you.
Once a week, soak your nails for 15 minutes in a mixture of equal parts lemon juice and argan oil. After a few sessions you will notice how your nails become stronger and their natural shine increases.
Moisturising body treatment
Argan oil is well known for its moisturising properties. Its privileged composition rich in vitamins and essential fatty acids help to keep the skin young, smooth and radiant. Can be used on the face, neck and entire body.
Simply apply a few drops to the palms of your hands and massage your skin gently in circular motions as you would with any other moisturiser.
Anti-ageing treatment
Another use of argan oil is to combat skin ageing. Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant and argan oil contains a high percentage of it.
Argan oil creams applied daily will give elasticity, firmness and hydration to blemished skin, reduce wrinkles and make it look healthy.
Conditioning hair treatment
Pure argan oil is very suitable for maintaining the skin's natural moisture. soft and silky hair. Vitamin E gives it flexibility, repairs dry and split ends and is also a great anti-frizz agent.
For hair care, simply apply argan oil once a week for about 30 minutes before shampooing. Then wash your hair with your usual shampoo and rinse with plenty of cold water, which closes the protective cuticle of the hair and makes it reflect the light as if it were a mirror.

Argan oil has an exceptional composition
Also known as the Liquid Gold of the Desert, the Moroccans do not exaggerate in their worship of this miraculous liquid. Are you curious about its composition?
If we analyse pure argan oil, we will discover that it has numerous fatty acids such as:
- Oleic acid (45%): an acid from the Omega 9 series that dilates blood vessels among other properties.
- Linoleic acid (35%): an essential fatty acid belonging to the Omega 6 series and also formerly known as vitamin F. It brings elasticity and vitality to dry or damaged skin.
- Alpha-linolenic acid (15 %): a fatty acid from the Omega 3 series that has anti-inflammatory properties and stimulates the formation of cell membranes.
- Gamma-linolenic acid (3 %): a fatty acid of the Omega 6 series with an important role in the tonicity, renewal and cohesion of cell membranes.
All these fatty acids normalise the skin's barrier function by integrating into the most fragile molecules that are directly attacked by free radicals.
Other important components of argan oil
- Vitamin E: contains three times as much vitamin E as virgin olive oil. This vitamin protects the body from free radicals and strengthens the immune system.
- Beta-carotene: which the body uses to make vitamin A, which is linked to the production of melanin, white blood cells and growth stimulant.
- Phytosterols: chemical compounds similar in structure to cholesterol that act as skin protectants, antioxidants, astringents and hair conditioners.
- Squalene: a substance produced by humans that helps to restore the skin's natural moisture balance.
There are many more components of argan oil whose joint interactions are still under investigation.
What we already know and affirm from many years of favourable results is that its use generates beauty and health.
