An argan oil skincare routine that actually works

Argan oil is one of the best-known skincare ingredients in Morocco, but how well it works depends on how you apply it and in what order.

Why argan oil?

It is high in vitamin E and fatty acids, which suits dry and normal skin alike. Used in moderation it stays light and does not clog pores.

Morning routine

  1. Gentle cleanser with lukewarm water
  2. Rose water to rebalance the skin
  3. Two drops of argan oil
  4. Sunscreen, SPF 30 or higher

Evening routine

Repeat the same steps with four drops, massaging the face for a minute to stimulate circulation.

Common mistakes

  • Using too much, which leaves a greasy finish
  • Applying to completely dry skin instead of slightly damp skin
  • Skipping sunscreen in the morning

Stay consistent for four weeks and the difference in hydration and glow is clear.
