Argan Oil and Acne- why you should give it a go!
It can be tempting to use harsh products on your face that strip away excess oil from your skin. However, what then tends to happen is that your skin reacts by producing more oil. So it’s a short term fix over a solution and often makes the situation worse.
The good thing about argan oil is that it’s naturally non- greasy- well, as long as it’s legitimate argan oil and your mind can be at peace when using ours!
Furthermore, an oil is one of the simplest, most natural and unprocessed things you can use on your skin.
Used in the right way on oily, combination and acne prone skin, argan oil can really help your skin to produce less oil and balance everything out.
We recommend starting with using it on the face at night 2-3 times a week, instead of any other moisturiser (it’s generally fine to use along with your regular moisturiser as a boost, however when first experimenting it’s beneficial to try it alone). You should give it at least 2 weeks to judge how it’s going for you and from there you may decide to use it more often. If you want to stick to the theme of keeping things as simple, mild and natural as possible, it’s nice to do this alongside using rosewater as a refreshing and hydrating toner once or twice a day.
I have my own personal story, I used to have combination skin around 12 years ago and though I loved our argan oil I was really afraid to put it on my face. It took me about 3 months from discovery to give it a go and it’s absolutely transformed my skin and made it SO low maintenance, now argan oil on the face is my favourite way to enjoy the oil! I even find that it makes my skin clearer and I’m wowed at the effect when I use it after taking a short break!
Everyone’s skin is different, but we have had some amazing feedback from many of our customers (see below). You should definitely give it a go!
