Can Argan oil Help Eliminate Stretch Marks?

Moroccan women have been using argan oil for centuries to help take care of their skin.  It is a known fact that argan oil contains both vitamins A and E along with the essential fatty acids, in particular linoleic acid.  All of these play a very important part in protecting your skin and nourishing it.  Anyone who has been pregnant have been plagued with stretch marks.  Stretch marks of any kind are not a pretty sight to look at and no one wants anyone else to see them either. 

There are many different ways that a person can get rid of stretch marks but the best way is make sure that you are keeping your skin moisturized and exfoliated.  There is no way that you can get rid of them completely.  Most of the lotions and creams that “claim’ to get rid of stretch marks are usually only effective on newer stretch marks.  There are also prescription creams your dermatologist can prescribe but if they are not used correctly they can damage your skin.

There is a natural oil that you can safely use on stretch marks, even while pregnant.  This natural one hundred percent pure organic oil is called argan oil.  It is expensive but you only need a few drops for each treatment.  While argan oil cannot completely eliminate stretch marks already there it can help to improve the condition of your skin and help to prevent future stretch marks.  When using it for stretch marks just use it as you would any other cream for stretch marks but the good news is that argan oil is a natural oil and has no side effects or harsh chemicals that can irritate your skin. 

Other uses for argan oil


In addition to using argan oil on your stretch marks it can also help to lighten any scars you might have, including acne scars but make sure that you are using it regularly.  Just put a few drops in your hand and gently massage it into the scars.  Your skin will absorb the oil quickly and not leave a greasy feeling behind.

If you have psoriasis or eczema using argan oil is a great treatment for both of these skin conditions.  The reason is that argan oil is a rich natural source of vitamin E.  This vitamin is also an important antioxidant that will help to heal your skin and help reduce the itchiness caused by eczema and psoriasis.  Because argan oil is rich in both antioxidants and vitamin E it has the ability to also help correct any deficiencies in your skin that are age related such as dry skin, wrinkles, crows feet, and more. 

To make sure that you are getting all the benefits that argan oil has to offer you need to make sure that you are only buying argan oil that is certified organic and natural because these two things help to ensure that argan oil has the potency that is necessary to give your skin all of these benefits.
