Not the best oil for cold weather but still heads in the right direction
I've used different brands of argan oil on and off for many years, and Acure argan oil is high quality so I always go back to it. It has a very light, nutty scent and is slightly pale yellow in color, almost clear. I've run into another brand whose argan oil was strongly scented and brown (yuck). Expiration (or freshness) is indicated on the bottle as six months after opening, but I've had the bottle for over a year and it's almost like-new in quality. I've kept it in a bathroom drawer always out of direct light and nozzle in the closed position when not in use. Argan oil is great for when my skin starts to feel drier than usual (cold weather) or skin barrier damage. I apply it over my regular moisturizer for its excellent vitamin E provision, but I have also applied it as my main moisturizer in the time my skin was not as dry. It helps my skin heal faster and keeps the moisture level up a little longer. It is not strong at sealing like petroleum or other waxes, but this is why I like argan oil. I have sensitive skin and am prone to clogged pores/acne, and argan oil does not aggravate them; my skin stays clear. I keep my products oil-free as much as possible aside from specific oils which I know are safe for my skin. Argan oil sits on top of my skin but it eventually does evaporate, so I might reapply it as needed. This is a great night oil for me. I suggest a good moisturizer under the argan oil if your skin is dry in order to maximally benefit from its properties. It still stays smooth under sunscreen and it doesn't pill. When there is no sun-damage risk, I might only have a layer of argan oil on my face for a sheen/gloss. It looks great, but most importantly, it enriches my skincare routine.Ver másVer menos
