Moroccan argan oil seemed to explode onto the beauty scene as the miracle cure all from head to toe. I was fortunate enough to be given a bottle of Tree of Life Pure Organic Argan Oil. I was just using the last of my face cream so I decided to critique the oil's effectiveness as a facial moisturiser.

My skin is prone to the occasional breakout; be it a white pimple on my nose or nasty red spots around my jawline so I avoided oily products. Recently though no matter how much water I drink or how often I moisturise, my skin remains dehydrated. Thus when I took the argan oil from the gift bag I decided to embrace the new thinking of oils being good.

As it is pure oil a little goes a long way; only 7-10 drops according to the label. I found that I needed about 8 drops applied in 2 batches of 3 drops to cover my face. The last 2 drops I apply to the area above my lips as this area seemed to feel especially tight i.e. dehydrated.

From the first day I used the Argan oil my skin felt softer. It looks quite shiny when you apply it however it is absorbed within minutes and you're good to go. The oil isn't scented so won't clash with your favourite fragrance. It wasn't a miracle cure, I still got the occasional pimple and red spot but it did aid in hydrating my skin leaving it silky smooth.
