Natural Skincare:  16 Amazing Oils for Your Skin
Infographic from Glamour.com

When it comes to skincare, natural oils may just be your skin's best friend.

Oils derived exclusively from fruits, nuts, seeds, herbs, flowers and other plants have unique properties that cleanse, heal and repair, calm and soothe, moisturize and renew, and protect the skin.

Some oils can be used to target and treat specific skin conditions and problems, such as aging, acne, scars and eczema.

One of the greatest advantages of using natural oils is that they do not contain industrial chemicals and toxic ingredients that are often found in commercial skincare products.  Some of these ingredients actually harm the skin and may even harm human health when they are absorbed by the body through the skin over a long period of time.

Much has been written about the natural healing and beauty uses of coconut and olive oil.   In comparison, culinary and cosmetic argan (aka argon and argane) oil is relatively unknown for its many health benefits and beauty applications.

In fact, argan oil is rich in naturally occurring essential fatty acids, vitamin E, sterols, polyphenols and other compounds that are have a powerful antioxidant effect and are thought to deliver anti-aging, healing and protective health benefits.

Argan oil is being increasingly used in hair, nail, skincare and other cosmetic products and is valued as one of the most effective skin treatments for wrinkles, fine lines and stretch marks.  In hair care, it is used to repair damage to hair cell structure, restore luster and promote a healthy scalp.  In massage, it is used therapeutically to relieve aching muscles and stiff joints.

In its culinary form, argan oil is associated with reducing cardiovascular risk factors and to generally contributing to a healthier lifestyle.
