4 ways to use Argan Oil on your face

You have bought your bottle of pure argan oil and you are very happy with your purchase: you had wanted it for so long.

The oil of youth is finally there in your hands, with all its renowned beauty properties.

But now you may be wondering: how should it be used on facial skin?

Are there specific ways to apply this Liquid Gold to one of the most delicate areas of the body?

Can I use it whatever my skin type?

At Arganiae, we are here to guide you through the different ways to use argan oil on the face — and when it comes to argan oil, we know a thing or two.

So let’s begin our guide to the 7 ways to use argan oil on the face.

One of the main functions of this beauty elixir is that it is one of the most powerful natural antioxidants for the skin.

Thanks to its content of vitamin E and unsaturated fatty acids, it helps repair damage caused by factors that accelerate skin ageing.

Its exceptional free-radical-fighting and antioxidant action makes it a true must-have for anyone who wants to care for their skin, from the first fine lines to more visible wrinkles.

When used pure, just a few drops applied to thoroughly cleansed skin morning and evening are enough to leave the face looking more radiant, healthy, full of life and plumped.

But that is not all.

Argan oil is also known for its ability to act as a carrier for other cosmetic products, especially those without paraffin.

Our advice is to alternate the use of pure argan oil with your anti-wrinkle creams, adding a few drops of this magical elixir.

This helps your products release their benefits more effectively into the skin.

Argan oil is well known for its skin-repairing properties, making it a trusted ally for those with acne-prone skin.

In most cases, acne can leave very visible marks on the face. At first, these may appear as intense, painful redness, but over time the skin begins to heal, sometimes leaving behind thickened areas and uneven skin tone.

In these cases, you can apply a few drops of argan oil directly to the face.

Ideally, use it in the evening before going to bed, so it can work overnight while the skin is protected from external aggressors.

Gradually, argan oil can help reduce the appearance of these lasting marks and become a valuable ally if you are also following other beauty treatments to minimise acne scars.

It may also be useful to combine argan oil with other natural soothing ingredients, such as rosehip oil.

Dry skin, especially in winter, can cause considerable discomfort, and it is not always easy to hydrate it deeply enough to avoid that unpleasant tingling sensation: tight skin.

The risk, however, is going to the opposite extreme by using creams that are too heavy or thick.

Using argan oil on dry skin can be an excellent alternative to cream, as it hydrates the skin without leaving it greasy and, above all, without clogging the pores.

Thanks to its composition, once applied and gently massaged into the skin, it can reach even the deeper layers, delivering all its nourishing substances, including vitamins A, E and F and antioxidants.

No more chapping, as long as we remember to use this pure oil on the skin or together with our favourite face creams.

It may seem strange to see the famous “oily skin” on this list. Oils are usually not considered suitable for this skin type, as those who have it often simply want their skin to look drier and less shiny.

However, oily skin also needs to avoid overly aggressive treatments, otherwise the opposite effect can occur, stimulating even more sebum on the surface.

Argan oil is an excellent treatment for oily skin because it does not clog the pores and, at the same time, helps rebalance the skin’s hydrolipidic film, meaning its natural sebum production.

Argan oil can be used pure on oily skin, after cleansing the face.

If you use specific face creams for this skin type, you can also add a few drops of argan oil to your usual product. It will act as a booster, helping the cream’s properties penetrate more deeply and work more effectively.

As you can see, argan oil is a truly unique natural skin saviour for the face. The important thing is to choose a 100% pure oil, so its properties remain unaltered.
