Using a face wash is a very basic when it comes to regular skin care. It is the most basic thing that everyone needs to do to cleanse their face. After a long tiring day at work and after facing too much dirt and oil, one has to clean their face when they get home. Using plain water is not much effective as a good face wash is. It can clean the skin from inside and make the pores open so that the oil and dirt come out of it easily. 

There are plenty face wash for men available in the market these days and many of them use Moroccan Argan oil as one of its main ingredient. Now what is this argan oil and why this is beneficial for skin care routine? 

Well, as the name says; Moroccan Argan oil grows exclusively in south west of Morocco and the argan oil is extracted from the kernels of an argan fruit which looks like a large olive. It is said that Moroccan people used to apply this argan oil on their skin to treat any skin issues like psoriasis, eczema and wrinkles. They also applied it on their hair to prevent hair loss.

Argan oils are mainly of 2 kinds. One is the edible food grade argan oil and they come from the roasted argan kernels. The other one is the cosmetic argan oil which is extracted from the unroasted fruits and can either be used directly on the skin and hair or else can be used as an active ingredient in cosmetic and skin care products.

Argan have a lot of monounsaturated fatty acids along with some antioxidants and then have a lot of Vitamin E. All these lead to skin boosting benefits.

Argan oil brings a lot of goodness to the skin. Here are some:

If one is suffering from red sun burn and itches, then they should use skin care products that have argan oil in it. This oil has the potential to reverse and prevent the discolouration of the skin and remove all the dark spots from the face. The high concentration of antioxidants prevents the oxidative damage to the pigmented cells.

Argan oil is not only good for oily skin owners. They can also treat some dry skin conditions as well. Even if one has some genuine and complex skin issues like eczema which can lead to flaky, dry and itchy skin then also one can get a lot of benefits from skin care products that use argan oil as a major ingredient. If one uses face washes which has argan oil in it, then it not only saves one from irritation or dryness, but it also soothes the skin. If it has affected other part of the body, then one can apply some fresh argan oil directly on them to provide some relief.


There are many oils and moisturisers which can exacerbate the skin conditions and one of them is acne. If one uses an argan oil on acne, then it can soothe the afflicted skin and promote healing. Acne often happens because one has oily skin. But when one uses skin care products like face washes or face masks that have argan oil in it, then it makes the skin non greasy and helps to balance the skin by providing some natural moisture. They can also heal the damaged skin and reduce some skin inflammations as well.
