Using OIL for Your Best Skin Ever: Argan Oil Benefits
As you probably already know, skincare is seasonal! Changing temperatures and climates brings about very different reactions in our skin. Right now, it’s winter, and you might be suffering from major dry skin. I know I am! Even more so than usual, my skin is THIRSTY and soaking up every last bit of moisturizer and hydrating ingredients (think: hyaluronic acid). Facial oils have been popular for a while now, but I wanted to share one that I’ve been particularly loving – argan oil.
I was introduced to argan oil through Josie Maran’s incredible all natural argan oil line. So far every product I’ve tried has been incredible – soothing, moisturizing, and non-pore clogging. Whatever your skin type, chances are you could likely benefit from using some kind of oil on your face! To find out if argan oil might be the missing product in your winter skincare arsenal, read on to learn more about all of the different argan oil benefits.
What is argan oil and how do you use it?
Argan oil comes from the kernals of the argan tree, which is found in Morocco – you probably have heard of Moroccan Oil, but did you know that it is the same as argan oil? It can come as a pure oil, or mixed into a product for its many benefits. It’s completely all natural and organic – Josie Maran makes some of my favorite argan oil products!
Argan oil benefits for your skin, hair, and nails:
+ It’s very hydrating! Argan oil is most often used to moisturize and soften skin and hair. It can be used on your whole body – including your lips, nails, and feet.
+ Filled with vitamin E, antioxidants, and fatty acids that are good for your skin.
+ It smooths and conditions hair.
+ Has anti-aging benefits for your skin.
+ It absorbs easily into the skin, is not greasy, and doesn’t clog pores . Believe it or not, it is actually often used as an acne treatment and is safe for oily skin as well!
+ It’s all natural and organic.

I’ve been using argan oil for such a long time for my hair, and I’ve noticed that it’s been noticeably healthier and shinier throughout the years! <3 🙂 I haven't tried argan oil for my face yet, but I really want to try! Loving all of these great recommendations!

Ohhhh, I need this right now! My skin is super dry and my hair is even drier than my skin. Argan oil sounds like the cure this winter. I have heard great things about Josie Maran products so need to try them. Thanks Amy! xoxo, Christine

I have Josie Maran’s argan oil too! I think it’s gone bad though cuz it’s been sitting there for too long. I made the mistake of putting it in the office and I always wound up using it only for my hands, and inevitably.. it was too oily. I need to try it for my face at home more!!
