				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Many skin and hair care products are made using an ingredient known as Argan oil. While many people hear about the amazing restorative properties associated with this oil, very few actually know where it comes from.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;">A Brief Description Covering the History of Moroccan Argan Oil</h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-32" title="Argan Oil" src="http://www.phatlinux.com/wp-content/uploads/Argan-Oil.jpg" alt="Argan Oil" width="300" height="200" />The oil is actually extracted from the seeds of fruit which fall from the Argan tree. This tree primarily grows in the dry Moroccan climate, and has been dated to have existed since the Tertiary period. The fruit grown on this tree is a natural staple for the goats which inhabit Morocco. In order to gather the seeds from inside the fruit, natives need to create barriers to keep the goats from accessing the ripened fruit.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The history of this popular beauty oil, includes the process of extraction. The oil was originally extracted from the seeds by crushing them manually using rocks. Today the seeds are crushed using large milling stones and machines to speed up the manufacturing process. Many of the native people in Morocco rely on the income produced from this oil.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;">The Oil&#8217;s Beneficial Properties</h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-37" title="Organic Argan Oil" src="http://www.phatlinux.com/wp-content/uploads/Organic-Argan-Oil-200x220.jpg" alt="Organic Argan Oil" width="200" height="220" />People native to the regions in and around Morocco have used the oil as a substance applied to the skin and hair as well as an ingredient in cooking. The oil is extremely rich in vitamin E, squalene, fatty acids and carotene, all essential nutrients in maintaining healthy skin, hair and tissue. The native people of this region have used the oil in food preparation for centuries. When taken internally, pure Argan oil has the ability to lower cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of heart disease.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">These people have also used the oil in topical skin applications for medicinal purposes. It has the ability to reduce inflammation, repair dry skin and alleviate the pain associated with arthritis. The restorative properties of this oil is linked to the trees ability to live in extremely dry areas for a period of up to two hundred years. The oil extracted through the seeds of the tree&#8217;s fruit contains the life preserving nutrients the tree thrives on.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;">Argan Oil Today</h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-39" title="Sometimes things are too good to be true." src="http://www.phatlinux.com/wp-content/uploads/somethings-about-sensa-too-good-to-be-true-150x150.jpg" alt="Sometimes things are too good to be true." width="150" height="150" />Although the amount of oil is still somewhat limited due to the rarity of the tree, it can be found available for commercial use. People all over the world can now enjoy the benefits of this miraculous oil found in its pure form. To learn more about the history and properties of Argan Oil, please visit our website.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Women and men spend a lot of time and money trying to reverse the aging process often visible on their skin. It seems almost every type of beauty product available today has some type of magic ingredient to help turn back the clock on aging. There is a real ingredient which has been shown to diminish the wrinkles and dry skin associated with aging. This amazing ingredient is known as Argan oil.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;">Pure Argan Oil and Anti Ageing</h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-41" title="Skin Types Argan Oil and Anti Ageing" src="http://www.phatlinux.com/wp-content/uploads/skin-types-300x206.jpg" alt="Skin Types Argan Oil and Anti Ageing" width="300" height="206" />To combat the signs associated with aging, people should understand what causes them in the first place. Loss of moisture dehydrates the cells which make up the layers of skin tissue. When these cells lose moisture, they begin to contract and cause patches of dryness on the surface of legs, arms and scalp. Argan oil contains fatty acids which create healthier cell membranes so moisture is held within the cell better. When skin is properly hydrated it is reflected in the texture of the surface area and also creates a healthy glow.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Hydrated skin also plumps up, which gets rid of the lines and wrinkles appearing on different areas of the body. When used in its pure form, Argan oil is also rich in vitamin E and carotene. These nutrients are used to protect the skin from damage from external sources, such as the UV rays of the sun. As people age, this damage can become more visible especially when combined with the lack of moisture inside the cells.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;">Loss of Elasticity</h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;">People who more mature in age will experience a slow down in the production of many substances found naturally inside the body. Collagen is one of the substances made naturally by the body, which decreases as people grow older. This substance is responsible for keeping skin flexible and elastic. When skin tissue is flexible it springs back into place without leaving wrinkles or deep crevices. The essential nutrients found in Argan oil assist the body in maintaining healthy cells so the skin can retain more of its natural elasticity.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;">Help for Mature Hair</h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-44" title="Everyday Haircare" src="http://www.phatlinux.com/wp-content/uploads/Every-Day-Skin-Care-150x150.jpg" alt="Everyday Haircare" width="150" height="150" />Just as aging skin loses moisture, so does aging hair. The nutrients in this oil can rejuvenate dry and brittle hair to repair split ends and add more body. It can also reduce hair loss due to aging and is effective at getting rid of dandruff.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">If your hair and skin are beginning to show signs of aging you can visit our website to see how pure <a title="The Benefits of Argan Oil for Hair" href="http://www.purearganoil.co.uk/the-benefits-of-argan-oil-for-hair/">Argan oil for hair</a> can help you maintain a youthful appearance.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The healing properties of pure Argan oil can help clear up certain types of skin conditions. Among the different conditions this remarkable tree extract can remedy is psoriasis. This condition affects the skin&#8217;s surface and can be found in several different areas on the body. Usually characterized by patches of red scaly skin, it can appear on the forearms, legs, scalp and toes. The patches will often be inflamed and feel itchy. The severe dryness can also lead to the skin cracking and bleeding.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;">Using Pure Argan Oil to Help Alleviate Psoriasis</h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-45" title="Argan Oil for Hair" src="http://www.phatlinux.com/wp-content/uploads/argan-oil-for-hair-300x206.jpg" alt="Argan Oil for Hair" width="300" height="206" />The properties of this oil include liberal amounts of essential fatty acids. Because the symptoms of psoriasis include severely dry areas of skin, these essential acids work to help hold moisture in the cells. When the membranes of skin cells lose their strength due to a depletion of these acids, the moisture contained inside will also decrease. The decreased moisture will dry out normal skin and exacerbate existing conditions such as psoriasis.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Another important nutrient found in this oil is vitamin E. This vitamin helps protect skin from damage incurred by pollution in the air as well as from sun exposure and smoke. All of these things can extract moisture from the cells, leaving skin feeling dry and itchy.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;">Basic Applications</h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Using the pure form of Argan oil means working with a natural oil. A few drops of the oil can be easily worked into the surface of the skin where the patches of psoriasis are present. This application can also be used on the scalp, by gently massaging the oil into the affected areas. As an additional benefit, the oil can also be worked through the individual strands of hair to add more lustre and body.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">When applying to areas on the fingers and toes, it can be worked into the cuticles to help soften and condition them as well. Regular use of this oil on any rough, red or dry patches will dramatically reduce them. The antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties also work well in relieving swollen or inflamed areas of skin. In addition to the red or silvery scaled areas of psoriasis, this healing oil can also be used to reduce areas affected by eczema.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The healing and rejuvenating properties of this amazing oil can be used to help a variety of skin and hair conditions. To learn more about how this oil works, please visit our website.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Women seem to struggle more with maintaining healthy skin and hair, than most men. This is in large part due to the changes in hormones women experience on a monthly basis as well as changes in their bodies when they are pregnant or go through menopause. In an effort to help keep their skin flexible and hydrated, women often purchase cheap over the counter products labeled as being able to help dry or damaged skin. The truth is, there are relatively few products which will actually work to restore skin to its healthy glow.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;">Why You Should Buy Pure Argan Oil Over Other Cheaper Brands</h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-46" title="Argan Oil as Seen In" src="http://www.phatlinux.com/wp-content/uploads/arganoilasseenin.jpg" alt="Argan Oil as Seen In" width="300" height="260" />This oil not only has many restorative benefits, it is also one hundred percent natural. If you read the labels on the cheaper brands you will discover they contain a lot of questionable ingredients. Paraben and alcohol are two ingredients which are not healthy for skin application. Paraben is a form of wax, which is known to cause irritation in many people. Alcohol is a drying ingredient, which should never be used to hydrate dry skin.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Argan oil is the natural extract from the seeds which fall from the Argan tree. Amazingly, this tree has survived in some of the driest climates found on earth. The ability of the tree to sustain its own health in desert climates is attributed to the oil found within it. This same nurturing oil will penetrate the surface of the skin to help rejuvenate the cells underneath.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;">Properties Found in Pure Argan Oil</h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-49" title="Argan Oil Anti Ageing" src="http://www.phatlinux.com/wp-content/uploads/aging-skin-300x188.jpg" alt="Argan Oil Anti Ageing" width="300" height="188" />The extract obtained from the seeds of this tree has been shown to contain high levels of vitamin E. This nutrient plays an essential role in the health of skin. Many cheaper brands of lotions and creams will often add this vitamin as a secondary ingredient which often does not penetrate the surface of the skin because the other ingredients such as wax, create a barrier. All natural Argan oil contains no additives and is packed full of antioxidants to help restore skin which has been damaged by smoke or pollution.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The fatty acids contained in this oil also help damaged skin cells by increasing the elasticity and suppleness of the skin. In contrast, cheap store brands of skin care products often include synthetically produced fragrances and dyes known to cause skin irritation.
