ARGAN OIL by J.NICHOLAS - THE MOST EXCITING NATURAL BEAUTY FIND OF THE MONTH



My relentless quest for  natural skincare took me quite unexpectedly to browse through one website designed to help men find their best grooming products. As there were many products I have never heard of, my curiosity made me stay there for a little longer than planned. I had more fun than a child in a sweet shop, picking and reading about brands, finding out about the directions of use etc. I then discovered a section with popular brands and found  J.Nicholas range. The packaging is a  reminiscence of old fashioned apothecary where everything used to be hand poured into bottles. This is an exciting find as it is like a hidden jewel - the anti-ageing liquid white gold - why is it tucked away for men's eyes only?





Argan oil became extremely popular in cosmetic industry due to its nourishing and moisturising properties. It is extracted from kernels of argan fruit. Argan fruits are picked from argan trees that grow in Morocco. It is packed full with vitamins, minerals, essential fatty acids and antioxidants.

Here are just a few benefits of using J.Nicholas Argan Oil:

  • Deeply moisturises dry and scaly skin
  • Protects the skin's elasticity due to high antioxidants' content 
  • Smooths out lines and prevents from premature ageing of skin by producing natural oil barrier
  • Nourishes hair and gives it healthy shine
  • Can heal burns and sun damaged skin
What makes J.Nicholas Argan Oil stand out from the crowd ?

  1. It is cold pressed and therefore retains most of its vitamin and minerals density
  2. It is 100% natural and is not mixed with other additives
  3. It is sold in glass dark bottles to keep the oil fresh so that optimal amount of nutrients is stored



My tip to benefit from this divine oil:

Once you have cleansed your face in the evening and are ready to apply your oil, rinse your cloth (Bamboo face cloths preferably) in warm water, wring and stretch it on your entire face for about two to three minutes. You can lie down to relax. After a few minutes of this compress your skin is ready to fully absorb J.Nicholas Argan Oil.

Without a doubt, it is a multi-use oil that with regular application will give you plumper, younger looking skin. It glides on effortlessly and you only need a few drops at a time. The pipette will help you with precise dosage.

Of course, like every woman, I have my own secret way to make the most of my J.Nicholas Argan Oil.

Whenever I feel my dry hands need extra attention, I massage in some of my white argan gold before my regular hand cream. This trick softens my skin immediately and builds a protective shield that lasts for longer compared to using the hand cream only.

Hopefully, this J.Nicholas precious oil, that many well groomed men have been enjoying for quite a while now, is going to win its special place on women's beauty shopping list too. It's worth every gossip.





THREE BEAUTY TIPS YOU WILL EVER NEED

You'll find them on your regular shampoo bottle, you'll hear them in beauty salons and will read about them in magazines and blogs. BEAUTY TIPS. They surround our world obsessed with appearance perfection and trigger the need to apply them in our everyday life,  regardless of what our bodies actually need, we blindly dig into yet another "pseudo-beauty" regime. 

Cleanse, tone, use serum and moisturise 
Get enough sleep
Drink eight glasses of water a day
Forget coffee if you are on a detox
Use fake tan instead of sunbeds
Apply face mask once a week
Never ever use you face cream on under eye area



The list is endless - and although these hints are supposed to preserve our beauty and well-being, they can also create a rather unhealthy situation called PRESSURE. Of course pressure can motivate many of us to achieve more career wise, when it comes to our looks however, it is nothing but a really stiff pain in the neck.


 Think yourself beautiful


Simple? Odd? Not specific? This is a powerful tip to help you notice that not the appearance that often is in need of care but your mind. You look exactly how you think. Fears and obsessions to keep up with so many beauty recommendations will  never help improve a dull complexion. On the other hand, a kind look at yourself is bound to give you more glowing and youthful skin.


Get dirty 


As random as it may sound, this by all means is one of the most effective beauty tips you have ever read about. You can personally axe off my left arm if this one won't work for you. What you do is this:
you wear your newest sporty outfit and go for a workout in the great outdoors. The idea is to really go off the beaten track and  brave through the mud and puddles. Whatever you do - run, march, crawl, skip or cross train - do not be afraid of the dirt splashing about and landing on your calves. Be freed from constant "on guard " mode. Feeling free, tired and with ears full of  muck, you'll be  running your bath thinking "What a wonderful beauty treat a bath can be." Simple, liberating, calming, truly cleansing and ten times more enjoyable - what an anti-ageing boost for your body and soul.


Go natural


Let's face it, we are spoiled for choice when it comes to skin and body care products. To win customers, global promotional campaigns are being launched to influence our emotions. Match a product with archetype of a confident, strong, modern and successful woman, and thousands will identify they have to use this particular product, as if what's in a bottle or jar didn't matter that much.  It turned out recently we had been offered cosmetics overloaded with harmful substances, that over time of regular contact with skin they caused allergies, damage to skin and cumulation of dangerous chemicals in our system.
Therefore if you value your health and want to diminish the exposure to now-a-day's pseudo beauty products, do your research, find a brand that has values to provide honest information on ingredients, that uses natural extracts, and brings you real beauty benefits. 

Please get in touch and comment, I would love to hear from you if you have your unique, unconventional and effective beauty tip to share. The most interesting tip will be rewarded.
