Before you learn about Moroccan argan oil and what it can do for your skin…….Are you one of those women who has a stash of cosmetic samples that you’ve never used? I have no idea why I haven’t ripped open the sample packets and tried the products. After all, the cosmetics won’t be good forever.
Tame Frizzy Hair
The weather has turned cold in Upstate New York. Staying inside to keep warm, I find myself cleaning up the bathroom and I stumbled upon a sample of HerStyler Argan Oil Hair Serum. It’s something I picked up while walking hurriedly through Crossgates Mall…You know, when you get accosted by one of those pesky associates who hang out at the kiosks. Well, today I tried the Moroccan Argan Oil product and to my delight got impressive results. I don’t like coloring my fine, dark, wavy golden brown hair too often because it dries it out. When the heat is turned on, I lose fullness and my hair lacks luster. After rubbing a few drops of the non-greasy Argan Oil hair serum between my palms and smoothing it over my damp hair, my tresses became shinier and less frizzy.
This is not a hair products website, but I highly recommend this product if you want to transform and protect your hair–banishing frizziness. I wondered…..If Argan Oil can be this good for your hair, can it be beneficial to your skin? So I did some research….
Origin of Argan Oil
Argan Oil comes from the fruits of argan trees in Southwestern Morocco. It’s a rare and precious commodity. The oil is extracted from the kernel inside the pit of the fruit. Each kernel is crushed by hand, ground into a thick paste, and squeezed to produce the oil…This is an extremely manual and time-consuming process.
Things to Consider When Purchasing Moroccan Argan Oil
Before purchasing Moroccan argan oil, make sure you take note of the following things:
(1) The ingredients must be 100% Moroccan Argan Oil or 100% argania spinosa kernel oil. It’s not pure if it doesn’t say this.
(2) The product should come in a dark colored glass bottle to preserve the oil. Light breaks down the healing and restorative properties.
(3) A 100 ml bottle should cost a minimum of $25.00, since this is an extremely labor intensive, low tech process.
(4) The product should not be odorless and should have a mild, nutty scent.
