So What’s So Great About Argan Oil?

Posted on April 29, 2015 by Melanie Brown

Have you noticed everywhere you go, Argan oil can be seen on the shelves? It’s not just beauty shops but even the bargain shops. Everyone is raving about it. If you’ve read some of my earlier posts, you will have seen that one of my favourite hair products is the – Aluminé Argan and Macadamia Shampoo and Conditioner. Argan oil is a plant oil which is derived from the kernels of the Argan tree in Morocco. Moroccans traditionally use it with their bread for breakfast or drizzled on couscous or pasta. They also use unroasted Argan oil to treat skin diseases, and as a cosmetic oil for skin and hair. The question everyone is asking is, “Why is it so popular?” It contains Tocopherol which is Vitamin E. Vitamin E is great for protecting and repairing the skin. It is an excellent moisturizing oil with anti-oxidizing benefits. Here are 5 tips as to how you can use Argan oil and benefit from it:-

Hair – Argan oil is great for calming frizzy ends. It adds moisture to dry hair as well as shine.

Scalp- if you have dry scalp, you can dab your scalp with the oil. A good tip is to apply it just before bedtime and leave it in overnight. Simply wash it out the following morning.

Face- you can apply the oil directly to your face. Because of its qualities, it leaves your face looking smooth, clear and radiant.

Body – simply apply this to the body as you would a body lotion. For soft and silky results, apply straight after a hot bath or shower.

Hands- Argan oil is fantastic on the hands. You can use it on cuticles or nails.

The great thing about Argan Oil is the positive social and environmental impact it has created. Because the production of Argan oil has taken off in a big way, it has resulted in Argan trees being preserved as a valuable resource. In relation to the social impact, Moroccan women-cooperatives have been set up for the labour-intensive production of the oil. This means that women now have a regular source of income to sustain themselves and their families.

Aluminé To The Rescue - Shampooing Made Easy!

Posted on April 24, 2015 by Melanie Brown

Do you find shampooing your children’s hair a chore? I do! As much as I love my children, I would rather do something else than wash their hair. This might sound terrible but let me explain why. My two eldest children are girls and they have long thick Afro Caribbean hair and it can take forever to comb out their hair and wash it. In addition, one of the girls absolutely hates having her hair shampooed and will quite literally scream the place down until the ‘ordeal’ has finished. This whole traumatic process leaves me feeling drained and fragile. Well that was until I found Aluminé. This product range was created by Peter Lamas who is the beauty guru to the stars. He has helped people such as Cindy Crawford the supermodel, Elizabeth Taylor and Sharon Stone. The beauty of these products is that they can be used by anyone, no matter what part of the world you come from. They are natural and contain no chemicals. I decided to try his Argan and Macadamia Shampoo and Conditioner because it is particularly good for people with frizzy, curly and coarse hair. I took a deep breath as I prepared my children for the challenge ahead and boy was I pleasantly surprised! When I used the shampoo on the girls, it left their hair feeling soft and silky. The conditioner can be applied straight after and then washed out. I have to say I was totally gobsmacked. Neither girl complained. Their hair was so easy to comb through. I actually completed the process in record breaking time without any stress.

There are other superb shampoos in The Aluminé range to suit different hair types. I can safely say that I love this product because it is natural, vegan friendly and has no chemicals. Peter Lamas has carefully prepared this product to ensure that you are getting the best quality combination of natural ingredients which are not harmful. This is definitely going to be my regular shampoo for the family.
