Argan oil is a true all-rounder when it comes to beauty care. The precious oil from the kernels of the argan tree is rich in vitamin E, antioxidants and unsaturated fatty acids - and can thus pamper skin and hair in many ways. We reveal 10 surprising applications for your beauty routine upgrade!
Key Takeaways
- Argan oil provides intense moisture without weighing down the skin
- It protects skin and hair from free radicals and environmental influences
- The oil supports regeneration and reduces inflammation
- Argan oil can be used versatilely in the daily beauty routine
1. As a facial oil for intense moisture
Argan oil is excellently suited as a facial oil for every skin type - even for oily and blemish-prone skin. It provides intense moisture, regulates sebum production and reduces inflammation. Simply apply a few drops to cleansed, still slightly damp skin and let it sink in gently.
2. As eye care against fine lines and dryness
The delicate eye area tends to dryness and fine lines quickly. Here, argan oil can help as a natural eye care: In the evening, gently apply a drop of the oil around the eyes with the ring finger and pat it in lightly. It provides moisture, smoothes fine lines and strengthens the skin barrier.
A perfect complement to argan oil eye care is the NUVASKIN™ FirmVisage - Firming Eye Care. The rich cream with peptides, antioxidants and hyaluronic acid also smoothes fine lines, reduces puffiness and provides intense moisture.
3. As a make-up remover
Argan oil is also a gentle, natural make-up remover. Massage the oil onto the dry face to dissolve mascara, eyeshadow and the like. Then take a soft, damp washcloth and remove all make-up residue. Afterwards, cleanse and care as usual.
4. As lip care against chapped, cracked lips
Chapped, cracked lips are not only uncomfortable, but also look unsightly. Here, argan oil is a natural alternative to conventional lip care products: Simply apply a drop gently to the lips and massage it in. The oil provides moisture, smoothes cracks and leaves a delicate, well-groomed feeling.
5. As a hair mask for suppleness and shine
The hair also benefits from the nourishing properties of argan oil. Massage a few drops into the lengths and ends of the hair and let it sink in for 30 minutes to overnight, depending on your needs. Then rinse thoroughly and wash as usual. The oil gives the hair new suppleness, silky shine and reduces frizz.
The NUVASKIN™ LuxeLocks - Macadamia Nut Oil with valuable argan oil and macadamia nut oil nourishes even more intensively. The rich formulation regenerates and strengthens the hair from root to tip - for a healthy, shiny mane.
6. As a leave-in conditioner against frizz
A drop of argan oil as a leave-in conditioner helps tame unruly, curly hair. Distribute a small amount of the oil in your hands and work it into the damp lengths and ends of the hair. It smoothes the hair surface and provides a supple, defined finish without weighing it down.
7. For nail and cuticle care
Nails and cuticles also enjoy the extra dose of care with argan oil. Gently massage it into the nails and cuticles - best overnight so it can sink in optimally. The oil strengthens brittle nails, promotes growth and nourishes the cuticles to a supple softness.
8. As a body oil for supple skin
Argan oil is also a wonderfully nourishing body oil. Massage it into the still slightly damp skin after showering or bathing - it absorbs quickly and leaves a delicate, natural sheen. Especially dry, rough areas like elbows, knees and feet benefit from the moisture boost.
Want to pamper your feet all around? Then the NUVASKIN™ SilkySteps - Ultra Callus Remover with argan oil, shea butter and lavender oil is just the thing. The rich foot cream nourishes rough, cracked feet to a velvety softness and effectively reduces calluses.
9. For a relaxing facial massage
Treat your skin to a relaxing massage with argan oil in between. Spread a few drops on your fingertips and gently massage the oil into the skin in circular motions. This stimulates blood circulation, relaxes facial features and makes the complexion look fresher and more radiant.
Even more effective is the massage with a special tool like the NUVASKIN™ SerenityStone - Skin Revitalizing Roller. The rose quartz roller gently massages the skin, cools, decongests and allows the argan oil to penetrate even deeper.
10. For oiling facial tools
Argan oil is also ideal for cleaning and oiling facial tools such as jade rollers or gua sha stones. It nourishes the material, keeps it supple and prolongs its life. Simply put a few drops on a soft cloth and gently rub the tool with it.
