Coined ‘liquid gold’ of the cosmetics industry, argan oil’s beautifying benefits have been passed down to us from the Berber tribe women of Morocco.
By crushing nuts from the argan tree, a plant native to south-west Morocco, the women would use the homemade potion to treat dry or irritated skin. It’s rich in omega fatty acids and antioxidants and packed with vitamin E.
While being highly valued by skin specialists for its soothing properties, argan oil is now revered by women universally to help protect the skin’s oil barrier, shield against free radicals, improve elasticity and protect against skin ageing.
To help you keep your skin feeling soft and smooth this winter we’re giving away Argan+ Ultra-Rich Body Butter, priced £8.99 from Boots, all this week. It’s the ultimate dry skin saver, combining nourishing coconut oil to the all-natural argan oil.
To win your tub of argan oil simply email webeditor@zest.co.uk (subject line: ARGANOIL) including your name and address and we'll select a winner after the giveaway closes on Monday 12 November 2012.
