Argan Oil is often referred to as "liquid gold" and is a prized oil that is used for skin, nails and hair.
Traditionally, Moroccans used argan oil to treat everything from eczema and psoriasis to wrinkles and hair loss. Argan seeds are full of monounsaturated fatty acids and antioxidants. They have more vitamin E than olive oil which contributes to to making skin feel soft and supple.
Here are a couple of uses for this popular, golden oil:
NAILS
Add to your nails for a nail conditioner. Argan oil’s softening properties are ideal for brittle nails, dry hands and cracked, hard skin on feet. It both moisturises and softens skin, leaving hands and feet supple and soft and nails strong and healthy.
