Why Argan is So Powerful for Skin that Sweats

Argan oil is perfect for sweating skin since it is deeply moisturizing and helps to replenish lost moisture. It is harvested from the Argania Spinosa (commonly known as argan and sometimes as the “Tree of Life”) a desert tree found in South West Morrocco. Despite the arid and unforgiving conditions of the desert, the Argan tree is incredibly resilient and can survive for up to 250 years. Argan oil brings this same resilience to your skin.

Argan is rich in antioxidants and fatty acids

For centuries the amazing people of Morocco have used Argan to treat ailments like heart disease, rheumatism and have applied it directly to dry skin and hair. Modern botanical science shows that Argan has a rich proportion of potent antioxidants and fatty acids and is one of the most nourishing natural skincare ingredients ever discovered.

Argan oil contains carotenoids, polyphenols, vitamin E, ferulic acid, and squalene enriched with flavonoids. The combination of these antioxidants helps reduce the effects of aging. In addition, essential fatty acids moisturize the skin, and sterols keep skin firm by retaining moisture.

Argan makes skin resilient

By bringing the power of the resilient desert Argan to skincare, argan can create resilient skin.* Formulas based on argan can help shield skin from exercise and sweat related damage while also helping to repair existing skin damage.

Argan can work wonders by helping to fight free radicals, preventing dark spots, improving skin elasticity, and reducing the signs of aging.

Argan leaf-water & stem cells

It turns out it’s not just the oil that can work wonders for sweating skin. Argan leaf-water extract and stem cells are additional potent ingredients that can be harvested from argan trees. In fact, they are the first active ingredients to demonstrate a proven effect on real dermal stem cells, meaning they can regenerate damaged skin. Argan water extract is rich in saponin, a natural soap that has antimicrobial, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.

Using products that contain these ingredients helps replenish the skin water–lipid layer and increase nutrients in skin cells, as well as stimulating intracellular oxygen, neutralizing free radicals, and protecting conjunctive tissue, keeping your skin healthy and fresh while you sweat.

How sweat impacts skin

When you work out (and especially if you work out outdoors) environmental factors like harsh sunlight and pollution can cause facial skin dryness, pigmentation, redness, elasticity loss and lead to premature aging.

The more you sweat while you work out, the greater the impact of these factors. In fact, according to the American Academy of Dermatology, athletes are at an increased risk of skin cancer due to the combination of sweat that intensifies the photosensitivity of the skin and causes overexposure to the sun. Sunscreens with argan oil both protect skin from damage and repair existing blemishes.

The effects of intense sweating

Intense sweating causes anti-oxidative stress, leading to collagen degeneration and ultimately, a loss of elasticity and firmness. Too much sweat can also dehydrate your skin leading to a loss of key minerals and vitamins. And existing solutions combined with sweat can actually clog your pores leading to pimples, blackheads and more. Ultimately, your skin has a delicate PH balance and any disruption to it can cause irritation, redness, itching, and blotchiness. Cleansers with argan oil nourish your skin without stripping it of needed moisture.
