DIY Argan Oil And Coconut Oil Mix For Beautiful Skin

A smooth golden oil that’s extracted from argan nuts of the argan trees native to Morocco, argan oil is a gem in the skincare world. What makes it great for skin in particular is its comedogenic rating of zero. A comedogenic rating means a scale of 0 – 5 which shows the pore clogging rate of a skin care product. This means argan oil won’t clog your pores at all which is great for acne prone skin, oily skin and clogged pores.

Argan oil also has skin moisturizing properties, wrinkle-smoothing effects and is helpful for inflammatory skin conditions like eczema and psoriasis.

A multipurpose beauty oil that’s characterized by its creamy white consistency, coconut oil is touted as a wonderful moisturizer. It has a small molecular structure that allows it to penetrate deep into the skin and nourish it.

Coconut oil is also good for facial cleansing, reducing inflammation, softening rough patches of skin and promoting youthful skin.
