What is in it?
Argan Oil is a superfood for your skin because it’s packed with vitamin E and linoleic acids, which work to moisturize, soften the skin, give glow and reduce acne. Thanks to antioxidants in Argan Oil, it is soothing for eczema and skin irritations. Omega-3 fatty acids in Argan Oil boost collagen production and plump your skin, reducing fine lines and wrinkles. That's why you see Argan Oil in so many anti-aging products.
How to use it?
When applied to the skin, Argan Oil acts like a barrier to keep moisture from evaporating out of your skin. So it’s best to apply it on either slightly damp skin—to trap all that water in your pores—or massage it on over your moisturizer (to lock in all of the hydrating ingredients).
It absorbs quickly, so you’ll be left with a subtle, glowing skin, rather than a greasy look. If you’re not a fan of dewy look during the day, though, try using it after washing your face at night, instead.
