Argan oil in your daily routine

In this article we take a close look at argan oil: its traditional use in Morocco, how to use it and general precautions.

Argan oil (زيت الأركان)

Argan oil from the Souss: roasted for amlou, cosmetic for skin and hair.

How to use: External use only: a few drops diluted in a carrier oil for a gentle massage. Do not swallow or apply to broken skin or near the eyes.

Argan oil in a daily routine

• A few drops of argan oil on hair ends or as a massage after the shower, external use only.
• Keep it simple: one or two regular steps beat many irregular ones.
• Watch how your skin or hair responds and stop if any irritation appears.
• Argan oil can be combined with hammam staples such as black soap and the kessa glove.

External-use ideas for argan oil

• Massage blend: a few drops in a spoon of olive or almond oil, external use only.
• Patch-test the mix on a small area of skin first.
• Use clean tools and keep any mix in the fridge for one day at most.
• Not to be eaten or drunk; keep away from eyes and children.
