Let me recommend a 100% natural product that has been in use in North Africa for centuries, and proven effective. This product is argan oil, extracted from the oleaginous almonds of the Argan tree.

For centuries, Berber women produced argan oil for daily comsumption in their food and on their hair and skin.

Argan oil has natural virtues that have been confirmed by several scientific studies conducted in Morroco and Europe. Many positive testimonies can also be found when researched on the internet.

Argan oil is composed of :

    * linoleic acids
    * oleic acids
    * tocopherols
    * polyphenols
    * carotene
    * sterols
    * terpenic alcohol

In body care, the argan oil nourishes the skin and preserves its elasticity. It plays a role in the cellular renewal. It does wonder on wrinkles and dry skin, reduces the traces left by the acne, chickenpox, stretch marks, cracks and burns. It also gives shine to the hair and strengthens brittle nails. It relieves pain in joints during body massage.

This wonderous oil is available for cooking and cosmetic use.

A cosmetic argan oil of good quality does not have a strong smell. A strong smell is a sign of oxidation that can come from a bad method of manufacturing or preservation. The color of the cosmetic oil must be light comparing to the comestible type which is darker.

The healing virtues of this oil when taken internally are not negligible:

    * it reduces the rate of bad cholesterol and increases the rate of good cholesterol
    * reduces hypertension
    * act as an appetite suppressant and has anti-obesity effect
    * has a positive effect on the liver
    * neutralizes free radicals and protects the connective tissues
    * stimulates the cellular oxygenation
    * schottenol found in argan oil has anti-carcinogenic properties

Taking 2 teaspoons of argan oil on an empty stomach will help to loose weight.

To restore the health of your hair, apply the argan oil 30 minutes before shampooing. To protect he hair from the effects of the sun, sea and chlorine, use oil by tapping the hair.

Argan oil moisturizes, revitalizes and softens cracks and fissures of the skin caused by the cold. It helps to prevent wrinkles. It cleans acned skin and leaves it glowing and radiant. Its toning power turns up trumps in case of loss of the elasticity of the skin.

It can be used in every season and can replace night cream.

Incorporate this virtuous oil to your daily use for a better health.
