The Stunning Beauty Benefits of Argan Oil
Argan oil is continues to take the beauty industry by storm. Exclusive to the South-Western parts of Morocco, the vast argan forest is home to more than 21 million argan trees that produce this skin-nourishing oil. This beauty oil is scarce: to produce one liter, you need 30 kgs of Argan fruit.
Argan oil helps to moisturize, rejuvenate the skin, and gives it a youthful glow. That’s why it is aptly called the Moroccan liquid gold – And we at Shirley Conlon Organics use this precious plant oil in many of our skincare products including our much loved Hydrating Serum which is blended with pumpkin seed oil, macadamia nut oil and frankincense from Oman, the prized Boswellia Sacra.
What is Argan oil?
Extracted from the unroasted kernels of the argan fruit, this plant oil is a chockfull of antioxidants and monounsaturated fatty acids. Most of its fat content comes from linoleic and oleic acids. Likewise, argan oil is a good source of the powerful antioxidant vitamin E, which is essential for healthy eyes, beautiful skin, and luxurious locks.
Argan oil is also rich in skin-loving B vitamins. These must-have skin vitamins heal hyper-pigmented, sun-damaged, aging, and dry skin to give you healthy, glowing skin.
Benefits of argan oil to your skin
Blessed with plenty of skin-nourishing nutrients, argan oil holds the key to many beauty secrets.
Hydrates skin and boosts skin elasticity
Argan oil makes your skin soft and supple due to the presence of skin-friendly nutrients. It’s vitamin E, and fatty acid composition boosts the hydration of your skin increasing plumpness and elasticity.
A 2015 research study points out that argan oil both when ingested or applied topically enhanced skin elasticity and hydration in postmenopausal women.
Heals and prevents sunspots
Not only does sun exposure causes a stingy red sunburn, but it also causes hyperpigmentation-those dark spots that appear all over the skin. Rich in B vitamins and omega 6 fatty acids, argan oil heals and soothes the harsh effects of the sun and helps promote a more even complexion.
The presence of vitamin E helps to reverse and prevent skin discoloration. The antioxidant vitamin E fights inflammation by neutralizing free radicals and preventing oxidative damage to skin cells. Yes, antiaging!
Treats stretch marks
Being a rich source of omega fatty acids, vitamin E and sterols argan oil helps to prevent the formation of new stretch marks and even diminish the appearance of existing ones. This wonder oil boosts skin elasticity and accelerates skin healing and renewal.
A research study published in the journal Clinical, Cosmetic, and Investigational Dermatology says that applying argan oil has the potential to treat and prevent the early signs of stretch marks.
Reduces acne breakouts
Acne is often the result of hormonal changes, which leads to the production of excessive sebum. While it’s challenging to balance hormones, argan oil comes to your rescue by lowering sebum production. Researchers found that using topical argan oil twice a day for four weeks reduced sebum levels and resulted in a less shiny complexion.
Rejuvenates dry, and aging hands
Your hands are one of the body parts that show the earliest signs of aging. Massaging your hands using pure argan oil or an argan oil-based cream or serum intensely nourishes the skin, fights age spots, and boost nail growth as well.
As a rich source of linoleic acid, this Moroccan liquid gold provides plumpness and moisture to your skin without weighing it down. It protects and fortifies your skin barrier, thereby fending off air pollutants and environmental stressors and promoting in healthier and more radiant looking skin
