So.. I have this crazy luxury problem that a friend of mine brought 500ml of freshly squeezed argan oil from morocco last summer and I'm afraid I won't be able to use it all up (I'm using it as a facial oil and adding some to my rhassoul hair mask). Of course I could use it to make soap, but that seems like a bit of a waste of such a precious oil.. is there anything else I could do with it? Some kind of creative Bath/body project? Or another use I didn't think of? It's cosmetic grade and apparently not for eating.. (unfortunately, it smells delicious)
 
I like to mix a few drops of argan oil in my makeup foundation. Argan feels good on my face and it helps my foundation go on smoother (i.e., I squirt out a pump of my makeup on a pallet, add a few drops of the argan oil, and mix before applying).

What a wonderful “problem” to have! Freshly squeezed Argan oil is such a luxury. Beyond using it as a facial oil and in your hair mask, you can create a body oil by mixing it with essential oils for post-shower hydration. Or, try making a body scrub by combining it with sugar and a few drops of essential oil for a spa-like experience. You could also add a few drops to your bath for super soft skin, or create a nourishing cuticle oil or hand cream. Your skin and hair will definitely benefit from this precious oil!
