Posted by Ebanel Skin Care on August 31, 2020

There are 5 ways in which you can use Argan oil to get healthy, nourished, and spotless skin. Let’s look at them.

1. Great Nighttime Moisturizer

Argan Oil gets absorbed by the skin more quickly than many other essential oils without leaving any residue. It is therefore used as a moisturizer to get rid of skin dryness and hydrate the skin. The high omega-3 fatty acid and Vitamin E content in Argan Oil makes the skin soft and smooth. You can use it all over your body.

Based on a study by the Department of Dermatology at the Medical University of Vienna’s General Hospital, it was established that a group of people using Argan Oil for 30 days had significantly better skin hydration. As a part of another research performed on post-menopausal women in 2014, it was found that women who used a small amount of pure Argan Oil every night for almost two months witnessed significant improvement in the ability of their skin to retain moisture.

So, if you’re suffering from acne because of oily skin issues, you can use Argan Oil to prevent acne breakouts. Argan Oil soothes the affected areas and promotes natural skin healing.
