Prof. Graham Pierce, Ph.D.Applying argan oil to your face every day really works wonders if done the right way. The light crude has a non-greasy feel and absorbs quickly into the skin without clogging the pores. I have applied it to my face every morning for the past three years, with noticeable results. Your skin acquires moisture and protection against the elements that attack it.

- Locks in hydration for plump, supple skin

Balancing Action
- Regulates oil production in acne-prone skin
- Prevents excessive dryness or greasiness
- Calms redness and irritation
My morning ritual includes applying two drops of argan oil to damp skin, as this maximizes its absorption before applying sunscreen. I avoid the T-zone during hot, sticky summers. The application method and amount of oil you use depend on your skin type.
Select argan oil that has been cold-pressed and has a golden color with a nutty scent. Avoid buying argan oil with additives or synthetic fragrances. I get mine in dark bottles and keep them away from the sun. Your skin needs the highest quality, because it deserves it for the best results.
Introduce argan oil into your regimen slowly; use it every other day for the first couple of weeks, then increase to daily use as long as your skin tolerates it. My sensitive skin adjusted to argan oil after two weeks, and I began noticing a softer texture and a more even tone.
Using it in the morning forms a protective barrier under makeup. When used at night, it can help repair your skin more deeply while you sleep. I use it with SPF during the day. Your skin will notice cumulative benefits with consistent use, daily.
