We have over 50,000 beauty products in our range. And the trend is rising. A little help in the search for the real gold treasures among them won't hurt. My recommendation of the month: liquid gold.
My legs itch like hell in winter. Sometimes it's even so bad that I scrub myself with a bath brush for a borderline long time in the shower. That doesn't necessarily make it better, but it does make it bearable for a short time. After the shower, the ordeal really starts. As soon as I get onto the sofa, I can no longer sit still. Much to my boyfriend's chagrin. The itching on my legs is too intense. What's more, my legs turn snow-white at this time of year. Not because they don't get any sun, but because the skin dries out so much. And as good as body butter and the like usually work for me, I need something richer by December at the latest. So this year I tried argan oil.
A real game changer, I tell you. The itching has disappeared and the skin on my legs is beautifully moisturised and supple. I originally bought the argan oil for my DIY lemon scrub:
The liquid gold
I've been using it on my skin, hair, lips and nails ever since. What I particularly like is that the oil is quickly absorbed by the skin and doesn't leave an oily film. The fragrance is also not overpowering. Pure argan oil is extracted by hand from the kernels of the argan fruit in Morocco. This is the only region where the argan tree, also known as argania, is cultivated. It is therefore one of the most expensive vegetable oils - and the price continues to rise, as resources are scarce. It is not called liquid gold for nothing. Thanks to the vitamin E it contains, the oil is said to have antioxidant effects. It is also said to have a regenerating and circulation-promoting effect. It is also often used as a supportive aid in the fight against stretch marks, dandruff (lichen), acne and neurodermatitis. The oil gives dry, damaged hair moisture and elasticity.
You can now also find argan oil in a wide range of products for skin and hair: [[product:7261147,6030398,9071430]]
If you ask me, you're best off using the pure oil version. Not only can you apply it directly, but you can also add it to everything or mix your own hair treatments, face masks and scrubs. There's no shortage of recipes on the internet...
