Wrinkles

No wonder I was confused!

Ah well that explains something then. No reason to think it is any better than any other oil is there. Other than that someone has decided to start a big marketing thing. There is always something, acai berries, goji berries etc being pushed as the latest thing for something.

It's argan oil from some sort of a nut, rather than argon gas. It's said that the oil from argan nuts is particularly good for the skin but Asda's sunflower oil would probably do the same job. You could always decant some into a small bottle then no-one would know

Traditionally, the oil is extracted from the stones of the tree's fruits after they have passed through the local goats. Perhaps times have changed but I can't say that I feel very enthusiastic about rubbing it into my skin or drizzling it over my couscous.

Argan oil is very good and useful, but it’s not likely to save you from wrinkles It’s better to use creams like Awaderm in that case

This thread made me smile this morning! We came back from a week in Marrakech this Autumn with various argan oil creams and potions- I can certify that no noble gases or defecating goats were involved in its production. For what it’s worth, the eczema cream had no effect, the wrinkle cream is on a par with my Aldi moisturiser, and the salad dressing is tasteless, but may be doing my insides untold good (who knows?). The argan and jasmine hair oil is lovely, smells delicious and gives my hair a nice sheen. I’m sure I could have bought it at half the price here, but at least I helped out the poorest Berber people by buying it (or so I was told ).

Oh, I’ve just noticed how old this thread is! I was a fresh-faced GN newbie back then and not even (quite) a Nanna.

To minimise the number of wrinkles you see when you look in the mirror just take your glasses off.
