Want to stop signs of aging ASAP? Try this hidden beauty secret that is just gaining popularity in the U.S. It’s called Argan Oil. Known by the Moroccan Berber community as the “Tree of Life,” the Argan tree (Argania spinosa) has supported the people of these arid regions for centuries.
A high vitamin E content makes for an amazingly rich moisture for your face and hair. I know many Americans are hesitant to use facial products with oil (notice how many products purport to be “oil free” next time you go to buy beauty products) but Argan Oil is an all natural, grease-free way to improve the texture of your face and hair.
Moroccan women take the Argan nut and press it to collect the precious, pure oil.
Just recently I have been using former model, Josie Maran’s, cosmetic line which completely centers around the benefits of Argan oil. I absolutely love all of her products– so much that my daily routine consists of nothing but Maran’s products. I start out with the Argan primer mist, followed by the Argan Oil Daily Moisturizer with SPF 40 and to top it off I apply the Argan Matchmaker Serum Foundation (which goes on white but then instantly matches your natural skin tone.) After these three steps I feel ready to take on the day with my fresh face! Even better, by the end of the day my face still has that dewy look that we all love, especially during the summer months.
Natural beauty Josie Maran. Who wouldn’t take beauty advice from this gorgeous girl?!
One last product that I MUST recommend is Moroccan Oil: Oil Treatment for all Hair Types. I will say that all their hair products are wonderful but if you want to try only one product to start, the oil treatment is my definite recommendation! I pour a dime- sized bit into the palm of my hand and run it through my wet hair after a shower. Additionally, if your hair is in need of some extra loving, you can use more oil and run it through your dry hair, sleep with it in, and simply wash it out the next morning.
All Josie Maran products are available on her website as well as at Sephora.
Morrocan Oil products can be found at most salons, beauty supply stores and on Amazon.
