Argan 5 + Precious Oil Eixir

Now there are already a lot of Argan / Moroccan Oil products on the market, however where this one differs is that it contains a unique blend of five highly restorative and nourishing oils compromising of Argan Oil, Baobab, Kukui, Moringa and Sacha Inci, each of which have been hand selected and combined together to form an all-natural blend which is the Argan+ oil.

So for those that don’t know about Moroccan oil – its also known as ‘liquid gold’ due to its amazing transformational properties, is a prized and expensive ingredient. Used for centuries by the Berber tribe in Morocco, traditionally to treat dry, irritated skin and now highly valued by skin specialists for its soothing properties. Rich in omega fatty acids and antioxidants, Argan oil helps to protect the skin’s oil barrier, shield against free radicals, improve elasticity and protect against skin ageing.

I have been trying out the Precious Oil Elixir which is designed to be used on the hands, predominately the nails, and on the hair for over two months. This multi tasking hero product targets skin ageing, stretch marks, uneven skin tone, dry and dehydrated skin, hair and nails. It has been expertly formulated to easily absorb into skin, protecting the skins precious hydration levels, leaving it feeling rejuvenated, moisturised and smooth.

It can even be used as a facial oil- apply it either directly onto the skin or mixed with a moisturiser for an added boost of hydration. I put it on at night around my T section and around my eyes before I go to sleep. It is suitable for daily use too whether that's as a facial oil, a treatment for nails or to smooth the ends of the hair. My favourite use so far for this however, has been using it as a hair treatment. When I've finished washing my hair and whilst it's still damp, I like to add a few drops to my hair, brush it through then let it dry naturally. The condition of my hair has never felt so silky or soft before, and I have coloured hair, I've noticed a definite improvement in shine and manageability.

The oil contains Vitamins A, D, C and E, high levels of Omega 3, 6 and 9 and is rich in essential fatty acids, proteins and natural antioxidants to create an oil that is not only unique but extremely effective. I like that its moisturising, yet non greasy on my hands, making them soft and supple, strengthening and protecting for my nails and cuticles and smoothing and softening on the ends of my hair.

I've been using this for the past two month and it looks as though I haven't even scraped the surface!! A little goes a very long way as it only needs to be applied sparingly.

Nice tip: you can give any old moisturiser you have laying about, an extra boost - no need to splash out on a new expensive, moisturiser to get the increased nourishing effects!

Top Uses for Argan+ Oil:
1. Facial and Body Moisturiser: Massage into your face, neck and anywhere else that needs moisturizer morning and night. Don’t forget your elbows, knees and other areas that tend to get dry.
2. Nails: Massage argan oil into your cuticles, nails, hand and feet next time you give yourself or get a manicure and pedicure.Apply argan oil to your hands and feet and cover with socks and sleep with them…your hands and feet will be soft and hydrated in the morning. – I got this tip from someone else’s blog and it really works.
3. Split Ends: Massage argan oil into the ends of your hair to prevent split ends.
4. Scalp Rescue: Keep your scalp moisturized and healthy by rubbing argan oil on it prior to taking a shower, let sit 15-20 minutes. – My hubby loves this, I think more for the head massage than anything else
5. Lips: Use argan oil instead of a lip balm. Use it alone or, for additional moisture and a creamy texture.
6. Luminizer: After applying your makeup, take a very small amount of argan oil and spread it in both hands and gently dab your cheekbones to give your complexion an extra healthy, dewy glow.
7. Hair Smoothing Serum: Argan oil is both a finishing and styling product for hair, straight, curly, and everything in between. Apply a small amount after washing hair and then to tame frizz while styling. I use it instead of hair silicon or anti fizz creams.
8. Rid Blemishes: Make your own blemish treatment, blending one part argan oil, one part tea tree oil and one part lavender essential oil. It smells amazing and really works.
9. Scrub: Make your own sugar scrub: mix sugar, honey and argan oil. Rub gently unto the skin until the sugar dissolves. Rinse well and you have a great scrub.
