Argan Oil - Acik Tak Jual Okay...

Since ada yang sms, send pm tanyakan whether or not argan oil that I am using is effective, I'll story here. (Lagipun takde idea apa dah nak update blog ni)

Sebelum I go on, please be warned. I am not at all a head-turner. I don't naturally have flawless, super smooth, silk-like skin. I have oily facial skin but dry body skin. I have a bit of open pores (hence kulit berminyak), parut jerawat, uneven skin tone and since I am not young anymore, I have fine lines. I also have occasional breakouts especially at that time of the month.

Menjawab soalan. It is effective to certain extend. I am using it for only a lil more than a week so I don't have much and I don't expect much. Furthermore I am not using pure argan oil. I am using Kiehl's Superbly Restorative Dry Argan Oil. As opposed to Pure Oil Series (which claims 100% argan oil, korang gugel lah, ramai orang jual online, rata-rata RM75 for 15ml), Kiehl's is a mixture of apricot oil, argan oil, sesame oil, jojoba oil, avocado oil, olive oil, eucalyptus oil.. among others. As the name implies, it is a dry oil, means it absorbs fast in your skin, leaving no oily feeling or oil residue. I am religiously using it everyday for my face and body and every other day for my hair. The immediate after feeling is oh-so-good. I'll tell again of other effects (if any!) after 3 months okay.

Oh ya, Kiehl's is a fairly-traded argan oil.

Argan oil is actually from Morocco. Moroccan have been using it in their hammam (ala, tempat mandi tu). Ingat tak pernah keluar kat suratkhabar pasal mamat yang kawin dengan minah Morocco tu? Dia kata Moroccan women kulit memang super smooth pasal guna this argan oil. Well, maybe kalau dari kecik memang akan super smooth la. Cam ai ni, penderita stretch-mark 1st degree, kulit kering etc, lambat sikit la kot. This oil is also edible. Boleh cicah dengan roti. But then, kalau Pure Oil Series menjual 15ml for RM75, sanggup korang nak cicah roti bagai??

Kiehl's. Ai pakai yang ini.

Ai teringin yang ini. Belum ada bajet.

So what happened to me after a week? Firstly my body skin sudah tidak kering lagi. Dulu kalau kena kuku, haruslah ada garisan putih. Now no more. Facial skin moist (I still pakai face cream ada sunscreen tho). Parut still ada, open pores still there, skin tone still uneven. Takpe, istiqomah. Istiqomah. Apa lagi?? Oh ya.. rambut. Smoother, much less flyaways, senang nak sikat and less hair-loss (I also use tea-bag recipe for hair-loss so can't say if it's just argan nyer effect).

Conclusion. I loikeee. Suka sangat. I bought Kiehls RM110 for 125ml. Relatively cheaper. That's why I don't hesitate to dab on my body, rambut, campur dalam body scrub (I buat homemade sekarang, jimat duit babe) Kalau ada bajet, nak beli yang Pure Oil Series jugak. Just for my face.

So jom kawan-kawan, membelai muka dan badan untuk diri sendiri, untuk suami tercinta. Semakin berumur tak bermakna kita boleh take for granted aje apa yang berlaku kepada kita kan. Ala, kalau suami tak komen apa-apa kita tak menjaga diri, it doesn't mean dia okay. Kalau dia tak komen apa-apa kalau kita makin cun, it doesn't mean dia tak suka. Always try to read between the lines. As for me, lagi 3 tahun ai akan berumur 40. Aging is unevitable but I want to go thru the process gracefully.

Okay, ada soalan lagi?

ps - having said that, sila amalkan diet yang seimbang okay. Air cukup 2-3l sehari, ambik supplement dan bersenam. Takat tempek macam-macam, tak jadi okay.
