What are the characteristics of dry and dehydrated skin?
One should not confuse dry skin with dehydrated skin. Indeed, dehydration is a temporary issue that can affect all skin types, including oily skin. Thus, you can have oily and dehydrated skin or even dry and dehydrated skin. Dehydration is a lack of water and can be caused by the use of unsuitable skincare products.
On the other hand, dryness is a skin type, in which the production of sebum is insufficient, thus weakening the barrier function. This makes the skin more susceptible to external aggressions such as cold, pollution, or UV rays. Dry skin is characterized by redness, tightness, flaking, streaks, and cracks. It lacks flexibility and is fragile.

Extracted through cold pressing, our argan vegetable oil is derived from organic argan kernels. It is 100% pure and 100% of the ingredients are of natural origin. Thanks to its nourishing and antioxidant properties, argan oil is suitable for dry and dehydrated skin. It penetrates the skin quickly and nourishes it deeply. Indeed, due to its high content of unsaturated fatty acids, this treatment is used for its reparative and nourishing properties to compensate for the lack of sebum production and protect your skin from external aggressions, by regenerating the skin's hydrolipidic film. Rich in vitamin E, sterols, and phenolic compounds, theargan oil also protects the skin from free radicals, thus helping to combat skin aging. Moreover, argan oil has softening virtues and helps to delay the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.
