Why Argan Oil is So Good for Skin and Hair?
Argan oil protects and nourishes skin, body, and hair. Since it has such a high level of antioxidant content, it reverses damage to skin and hair. Not only does it protect hair and skin from damage, it reverses damaged hair and skin. Argan oil also has anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, so promotes scar tissue healing. Like other beauty oils, it aids in moisture retention and is extremely moisturizing on skin and hair. Argan oil makes skin youthful, maintains elasticity of skin, firms up skin, adds a radiant glow. Also, because of the antioxidants, it prevents free radical damage to skin and is therefore a good anti-ageing formula. This oil can be used for the entire body, hair, skin, as well as can be consumed internally (don’t drink it up :P). It provides a healthy sheen to skin and hair. Also, when massaged into the scalp regularly, it aids in quick hair growth. Argan oil moisturizes hair, takes care of split ends, protects hair from sun, adds volume to hair, so you can use it as a serum.
