Top 12 Great Uses for Argan Oil
- Moisturizer: Since Argan oil has the ability to absorb quickly without leaving a residue, it serves as a great moisturizer. The nutrients in the oil help to replenish dry skin. It can be used all over the body and is gentle as well as safe enough to use around your eyes. Especially good for the cooler and or drier seasons!
- Topical Treatment: Argan oil can be used as a topical ointment to treat skin irritations such as bug bites, rashes and infections.
- Stretch Marks: Can help prevent and or improve the appearance of stretch marks. The Vitamins A and E within the oil assist in refreshing the skin and moisturizing the area. Argan oil properties help to improve the elasticity of the skin which helps with the improvement of stretch marks.
- Razor burn: As stated earlier, Argan oil is a great topical treatment for skin irritations. A perfect example is razor burns and bumps. Men and women alike can experience one or both irritations. A few warm drops lightly massaged into the inflamed area can help soothe and aid in the healing process.
- Beard oil: To soften a rough scratchy beard, apply a few drops and massage into the hair. Hydrating facial hair is just as important as any other area of the body!
- Exfoliator: For those of you who love a good DIY, you can make an amazing exfoliator! Since Argan oil is not limited to just the face, you can use this scrub all over for silky smooth hydrated skin. Another benefit is that the ingredients are inexpensive in comparison to those in stores. Just mix 1 tablespoon of organic brown sugar, combine with a few of drops of Argan oil and rub in circular motion on the desired areas. Great for lips too!
- Toner: Hydrate and tone at the same time! Enhance your current facial toner with just a few drops of Argan oil to achieve a refreshed dewy glow. Works well with witch hazel or rose water.
- Hair Care, style and shine.: Many of us are familiar with seeing Argan oil on hair care products. The reason why is because the vitamins make it a great leave-in conditioner option. It hydrates the hair cuticle, enhanced shine and leaves your hair feeling silky. For those who suffer from frizzy hair or stubborn fly-aways, it helps smooth it out! It is also serves as a heat protectant from flat irons and blow dryers. Best part is that it only takes a few drops! Work the product through your hair or desired sections with your hands.

- Bathing: For those who love a relaxing bath at the end of your long day, put a generous amount into your bath water and let it hydrate and soothe your skin. It can also be directly added into body wash and body lotion to enrich your skin.
- Cuticles: A quick fix for dry cuticles or cracked skin, massage a little bit of Argan oil directly onto the area and instantly moisturize the skin. For cracked or dry feet, massage all over and slip on a pair of socks before bed. Wake up to fully nourished soft feet.
- Makeup: To achieve a dewy, luminous glow after your makeup application, add a drop to your foundation, bronzer or tinted moisturizer.
