How to Use Argan Oil
Using pure argan oil is actually pretty simple, but the method depends on what you want to use it for—hair, skin, or nails.
1. For Skin
Benefits: Moisturizes, soothes irritation, and reduces fine lines.
How to use:
As a moisturizer: Take 2–3 drops in your palm, rub your hands together, and gently massage onto your face or body.
For dry spots: Apply directly to areas like elbows, knees, or cuticles.
Before makeup: A tiny drop can act as a hydrating primer.
2. For Hair
Benefits: Hydrates, reduces frizz, promotes shine, and can help with split ends.
How to use:
As a leave-in conditioner: Warm 3–5 drops in your palms and run through damp hair, focusing on ends.
For deep conditioning: Massage a small amount into scalp and hair, leave on for 30 minutes-overnight, then wash as usual.
On dry hair: Just a tiny amount on ends can tame frizz and add shine.
3. For Nails & Cuticles
Benefits: Strengthens nails, softens cuticles, and prevents dryness.
How to use:
Massage a drop or two into each nail and cuticle daily, especially before bed.
