A beauty blog this time as this site is holistic i.e mind body and spirit and aimed to create beauty inside and out.
I discovered this fantastic oil from my friend Dony a lovely Italian lady who gave me the link to
SIMPLY ARGAN I had started using the oil on my skin and its a fantastic product but have now started using this on my hair and anything that makes my hair easy to manage is a miracle product to me. I had been using expensive branded serums on my hair, as when I wash my hair it resembles a sheep dragged through a car wash, but this oil is much better and of course a fraction of the price as a few drops goes a very long way. For once I didn't look like a blow dried sheep! It's rich in antioxidants that wonderful Vitamin E well known for its repair and anti ageing effects. It doesn't leave the skin or hair oily either as it is not a mineral oil.

Argan Oil Benefits and Information
Argan Oil is a very rare and precious oil which has been used for centuries by the Berber tribes of Morocco. Its secret properties, which have enhanced the beauty of Moroccan Women for thousands of years, have in more recent times been discovered in other European countries such as France, the centre of the beauty world, where it is now well known for its cosmetic benefits.
Think of Argan Oil as food for your skin. You will be well aware of the need for your body to be nourished with vitamins and minerals. The same is true for your skin which, in the modern age, may suffer deprivation of its natural oils and nutrition because of environmental stresses and the over use of makeup, which in turn deprives your skin of the necessary levels of collagen and hydration.
Argan Oil is extremely rich in vitamins (particularly vitamin E) and is unrivalled by any natural and manmade product in providing its unique blend of natural oils, minerals and fatty acids. Simply Argan helps repair damaged and maintains healthy skin, protects against free radicals and nurtures hair, nails and lips.
Argan Oil is renowned as the natural anti-ageing cosmetic product. It is rich in freulic acids, eight essential fatty acids, carotenoids, anti- oxidants, sterols, saponins and polyphones. It also contains very high levels of vitamin E which is essential for the skin. It even contains Squalene which has been reported to protect against skin cancer . It is this unique blend of natural, rare and essential components that makes Simply Argan work wonders, maintains your body’s radiance and turns back time! Simply Argan works by nourishing and moisturising your skin with pure unadulterated Argan Oil, containing absolutely no artificial colouring, preservatives or perfumes.
The anti-ageing properties of Argan Oil are well documented with its unique blend of properties restoring the skin’s lipid layer and thereby improving the skin’s health and beauty. Free radicals are eradicated from the body by the oil’s natural anti-oxidant properties which are essential in protecting the skin against the rigours of today’s society.
Argan Oil is obtained from the kernels of the Argan tree which is now virtually only found in the Argan forest of South West Morocco, a tiny area in world terms.
How to Use Argan Oil
Simply Argan should be massaged into the skin, hair, nails and lips as a matter of routine. It is non greasy and absorbs well into the skin.
Only a small quantity about 2-3 drops is required which should be warmed in clean hands and gently massaged into the required area in an upward and outward circular motion on the skin with the fingertips, with care taken in applying around the eyes and other sensitive areas.
Simply Argan Oil is fantastic as a moisturiser and night cream!
For a luxury bath about 2-5ml of Simply Argan should be a added to some water before the bath is fully filled to ensure an equal consistency in the water.
For stretch marks, eczema, chicken pox, acne, psoriasis, scars, inflammation, arthritis and joint pain massage more generous amounts into affected areas.
For dry and damaged hair, or to reduce frizziness and improve the natural shine of your hair, simply rub a small amount into the hair starting at the roots and massage to the ends. Leave on for about 30 minutes and then shampoo out on either wet or dry hair. For damaged or very dry hair you can leave it on overnight. (I used it as a serum on wet hair, spreading a few drops warmed in my palms and spread through wet hair before blow drying. No more Sheep Hair!)
