10 Argan Oil Benefits
| On Août04,2017
For generations, Berbers have pressed Argan nuts to extract the precious oil and used it as a dietary supplement, as a wound healer and rash reliever, and a skin and hair nutrition.
Here are 10 ways that you can incorporate this anti-aging, moisturizing, and all-natural oil into your daily healthy routine.
1. Skin and Hair Moisturizing
Argan oil absorbs quickly, and does not leave an oily residue. After cleansing your skin with an all-natural cleanser, poor 2-3 drops into your palm to warm. Apply in a circular motion to your face, neck and hair.
2. Heart Health
Using cooking oils is something that we all do, but choosing a healthier option like argan oil can help to rebalance your cholesterol levels. By lowering your levels of bad cholesterol, and increasing your HDL cholesterol levels, you can help to prevent atherosclerosis, heart attacks, strokes, and other serious heart issues caused by cholesterol.
3. Exfoliating
Regular exfoliation helps to remove dead skin cells and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, while giving you a younger fresher complexion. To experience the argan oil benefits while exfoliating, mix 1 tablespoon of brown sugar with a couple of drops of argan oil in your hand. Rub into your face in a circular motion for 2-3 minutes. Rinse with warm water, and pat with damascus rose water for toning.
4. Cancer Prevention
Argan oil is packed with antioxidants and triterpenoids, which can directly influence the levels of free radicals in your body. Free radicals can cause cancer and other chronic diseases by causing healthy cells to mutate.
5. Acne Fighting
Argan oil’s high linoleic acid content helps to reduce inflammation caused by acne, while helping heal damaged skin cells and reducing sebum levels.
Tea tree oil compliments the argan oil benefits beautifully with its rich content of anti-oxidants and its inherent anti-bacterial, anti-viral, and anti-fungal properties. Together, they can help fight stubborn acne while reducing the inflammation, and scarring.
6. Digestion Boosting
The organic compounds in argan oil can increase pepsin levels in the stomach, and also boost gastric juices, which results in more efficient digestion of food and a higher nutrient intake.
7. Stretch Mark Prevention
Argan oil can help prevent stretch marks by improving the elasticity of the skin. Warm 2-3 drops of pure argan oil in the palm of your hands and gently rub your stomach, hips, thighs or any other potential problem areas. The vitamin A and vitamin E will help to rejuvenate the skin while moisturizing, making stretch marks less likely to form.
8. Razor Bumps and Burn Healing
Razor bumps and razor burn are uncomfortable and unsightly. Argan oil is an effective treatment to soothe and heal for men after shaving, as well as women for legs and bikini line.
9. Leave-In Conditioner and Styling
Adding argan oil directly to your hair can be a quick and effective remedy to dry hair, frizzes and split ends. There is a high concentration of vitamin E in argan oil, which helps rejuvenate the hair, protect the follicle beds, and improve the shine and overall appearance. Use a mask or as a daily serum.
10. Lip Conditioner
Argan oil benefits more than just your skin and hair; it makes for a wonderful lip treatment or chap stick substitute! Rub in 1-2 drops, and wipe away any excess.
