Natural products for enhancing beauty of women have been used since a long time. And most of these products do not have any side effects like the chemical added products. Known by many names like liquid gold, miracle oil and pure argan oil, Moroccan oil is not a new word for women who suffer from frizzy and dry hair. In fact this oil has many amazing properties which are not only limited to beauty purposes but also ranges from medicinal to cooking purposes.

Moroccan Oil is used for treating skin problems like acne and eczema. It also aids in reducing wrinkles and helps the skin to retain moisture and softness. This miracle oil has vitamins and fatty acids which delays the ageing process and is suitable for all skin types. This oil leaves skin glowing with radiance. Many products like creams, lotions and face masks have Moroccan oil as ingredient which is now a hot trend with beauty salons.

Another major benefit is it adds instant shine and nourishes the hair. Many women face problems like hair breakage, premature greying, dry and split ends. And to make matters worse most of the hair products are filled with chemicals which permanently damage the hair. Only pure argan oil is known to eliminate all these problems without doing any damage to the hair. Because of its small molecules which are able to penetrate in the hair better and even after usage the oil doesn’t weigh down the hair. Nor does the oil leave oily residue after being applied, this property certainly makes the oil perfect for dry and rough hair. As it has antioxidants like vitamin E and F it gives the hair a rich and rejuvenating experience.

Many hair stylists use hair mask which has Moroccan oil in it which provides smoothness and protects against hair damage, sun and environmental pollution. It also hydrates and revitalizes hair by restoring the shine and lusciousness. While applying this hair oil do take precautions like using the right quantity and leave it in for 15-20 minutes and then rinse it with a mild shampoo.

Pure Argan oil is also used widely in the cosmetic industry. It is also used to condition nails. Because of excessive use of nail paints and chemical laced creams nails tend to get brittle and lose their natural colour. Because of the fatty acids present in this oil these ingredients help the nails to become soft and regain their natural colour. The best way to apply this oil is to mix it with lemon juice and leave it on the nails overnight to experience better results.

Apart from the cosmetic use Argan oil is also used for culinary purposes. In many Moroccan dishes like tagine and couscous are prepared using this oil. As it has strong nutty flavour this oil is used for salad dressing and in desserts too. This oil is also used as a spread like cheese spread with bread and served with grilled and roasted dishes of vegetables and meat. In the end pure Argan oil is an herbal product which not only has amazing properties but also doesn’t carry any negative effects.
