How Does Argan Oil Treat Acne?

What Causes Acne in the First Place?

Okay, so it’s important to know what actually causes acne before you can effectively treat it – or understand how Argan oil makes a big difference.

Pimples and blemishes happen when the pores on your face and body become clogged with excess oil, dirt, dead skin cells, excess sebum, and simple bacteria. Some people have a problem with just a few of those irritants, others struggle with all of them. And pretty much all of us have no idea what sebum is.

Sebum comes from your sebaceous glands (where else?), which are located all over your skin, but primarily on your face and scalp. 

Sebum is the latin word for tallow (the waxy fat used in candles), and that’s pretty much exactly what it is – a waxy, fatty oil that is secreted to keep your skin moisturized. However, in many cases your face and skin can produce too much, creating an oily skin base which inevitably leads to pimples and breakouts. In conjunction with bacteria, dirt, dead skin cells, and other irritants, the blemishes can get pretty bad. 

Sebum is the most common cause of generalized acne, which is most common on the face, back and chest.

How Does Argan Oil Treat Acne?

Effective acne treatments need to lessen the negative effects of sebum and even to stop it from being over-produced. Argan oil scores well on both counts.

Argan oil is rich in essential oils like Omega 3, 6, and 9. Omega 3 and Omega 6 oils (which are polyunsaturated fatty acids) have been proven to effectively treat acne by stopping sebum overproduction.

Argan oil is also very rich in antioxidant Vitamin E, which works to keep the cells of your skin healthy and alive – greatly reducing the dead skin cells that work with sebum to clog your pores.

That potent combination of stopping overproduction and lessening it’s harmful effects is what makes Argan oil effective against mild acne, pimples, whiteheads and blackheads, and blemishes
