Maybe you've already noticed...it's getting colder out there! And with the cold weather comes dry skin. If you're looking for a hard-working and natural moisturizer you might be interested in learning about one of the best things out there. Not only is this product popular in the skin care world, it's also renown for its benefits for hair and nails as well. This oil, nicknamed "liquid gold" is popular with the rich and famous because of it's amazing effects. Look at some of the benefits of this "liquid gold" and see if you know what it is!
  • Moisturizes and hydrates skin. Its high content of Vitamin E and fatty acids makes it an excellent moisturizer. It's non-comedogenic, which means it won't clog pores and is great for using on the face as well.
  • Protects from sun damage. Women in Morocco have been using this oil to help protect their skin, taking advantage of the oil's antioxidant properties. 
  • Has anti-aging effects. This oil can increase the skin's elasticity for a more youthful appearance.
  • Treats or soothes skin conditions such as psoriasis, rosacea, and atopic dermatitis. 
  • Reduces oily skin. It seems counter-intuitive that an oil can reduce oiliness, but this oil can reduce the natural sebum your skin produces.
  • Treats acne. Because of it's anti-sebum effects, this oil can treat some kinds of acne. 
  • Prevents and reduces stretch marks, due to improved skin-elasticity. 
  • Encourages skin healing. It has anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties, along with antioxidants and vitamin E. So it's great for treating chapped and cracked skin.
  • Conditions nails and hair. It can make hair softer, silkier, and shiner while treating split ends. It also can soften and condition brittle nails, making them stronger and healthier.
  • Moisturizes dry and chapped lips. No worries using it near the mouth since it's safe to ingest.
Here's a few more clues. This oil is also sometimes called Moroccan Oil since it's derived from the nut of a tree native to Morocco. You've probably seen all kinds of skin care products advertising that they contain Moroccan Oil lately -- shampoos, conditioners, lotions and soaps. The cosmetic industry is trying to capitalize on this oil by adding a little bit of it to their products. And the Moroccan Oil comes from the nut of the Argan tree in Morocco. So there you have it --  Argan Oil! If you are curious to learn more about Argan Oil, we found this article from Healthline helpful. It clearly explains the uses of Argan Oil, reference studies done that substantiate the beneficial claims, and give more details about how Argan Oil is used.  ​
