Zakia’s Morocco 100% Pure Organic Argan Oil

My thoughts
Zakia’s Morocco offers 100% pure Argan Oil for a much affordable price tag if you compare it to others available on the market. It's been described as a light-weight hydrating oil that moisturizes the skin with it's high content of Vit E, essential fatty acids and protect against fine lines and wrinkles with its antioxidant properties. It also claims to add shine to the hair and strengthen dry/brittle nails.

While Argan oil may be a miracle worker for some, it does have one noticeable drawback – it causes me to break out. I thought perhaps it was something else but whenever I resumed applying it on my face, I could see tiny bumps emerging in a day or two. I googled and found that Argan oil is rich in oleic acid which is comedogenic. Those with small pores (dry/normal skin types) don’t let much of it to sink in and hence rarely develop comedones (blocked pores). Since I have a combination skin, I consider myself as one of the unlucky few because it truly moisturizes the skin deeply leaving it soft, plump and hydrated with the very first use. Just two to three drops go a long way.

Speaking of the scent, it’s kind of a mild nutty aroma with some hints of spice. I find it quite refreshing. Upon application, it doesn’t soak into the skin immediately but it doesn’t feel heavy either – provided that you don’t go overboard (don’t even think about that). There's no denying that gently massaging this oil at night feels very soothing. Moreover, it would sure ease any flakiness on your skin in the colder months.

I personally enjoy using it the most on my hands. It feels ultra light and imparts a subtle glow. It makes my hands feel smooth and soft throughout the day but it doesn't replace my regular hand cream if I need extra moisture especially in winter. I haven’t noticed any major difference in my nails except that they appear healthier every time I use it. Had there been a pump, it would’ve been easier to dispense the required amount and re-apply when needed; the oil spills easily if you aren't careful so the bottle isn't very travel-friendly in my opinion. I have also given it a trial on my hair and it does what it promises. It makes my tresses shiny and less frizzy though it can weigh your hair down if used too much.

Overall, this oil is most suitable for aging/dry/normal skin type and for those who want an all natural nourishing treat for the skin. If you've got sensitive or acne-prone skin, this is not for you.

You might like it if…

• You have aging/dry/normal skin type
• You’re looking for a natural moisturizer
• You use it to tame dry/frizzy hair
• You use it sparingly (2-3 drops)
• It makes your skin feel soft and plump
• You find it affordable
• You enjoy the mild nutty spicy aroma
• You use it on your body/nails/cuticles
• It’s 100% natural skin care product

You might not like it…

• It clogs pores and causes breakouts
• You wish the packaging came with a pump
• You apply too much and it feels heavy

Zakia's Morocco The Perfect Skin Rejuvinator Face and Body Mask – Review

The first and one of the chief ingredients in this mask is Moroccon clay which is also known as Ghassoul -- a natural mineral clay mined in the Atlas Mountains of Morocco. Apart from rejuvenating the skin, the mask intends to target oily zones on the face and deep clean the pores. Keep reading to know if it works for me.

The Perfect Skin Rejuvinator Face and Body Mask
Help tone and refresh your face and body.  Using 7 specially chosen exotic plant extracts this clay mask will do wonders.  It is our newest addition to a long line of pure, natural and traditional skin care products.

The Ghassoul or Moroccan clay is a pure and natural argile saponifère extract from the Atlas mountains. Known the world over it has been used by Moroccan women for their entire bathing rituals, both body and hair.  Indeed, "Ghassoul" translated from Arabic is actually "the matter that cleanses".

Directions:
Use as a mask from head to toe helping to tone and soften your skin. It rejuvinates and regenerates the skin by removing dead skin cells that accumulates over time, removes black heads and rough patches and tightens the pores. It is also an excellent fortifier for the scalp and hair by reducing the secretion of sébum. 

No Parabens, No Pegs, No silicon, No mineral oil - just pure, organic  goodness for you face and body. 250 ml / 8.45 fl. oz

My thoughts
After going through the ingredients, I can tell that everything it has is natural. There are no preservatives, silicones or parabens; if you’re someone who digs organic products then you should definitely checkout this brand. You can find more details about the ingredients here.

To be honest, I have only used it two or three times and not as much as my sister has (who has an oily skin) because she’s quite impressed. I, on the other hand find it very drying for my combination skin if I use it very often. From both of our experiences, we find this mask very effective at clarifying the skin and deep cleaning pores with an added bonus of shrinking their appearance. Yes, it visibly reduces the pore size which is amazing!

The clay comes in a huge jar which is gonna last you a long time. As you can see in the photo above, the product is very finely milled. You just have to pour little water/rose water (which ever you prefer) on a tea spoon amount in a bowl and make a luscious paste. The scent is moderately strong but not in a bad way; it smells of herbs and plants to be precise. If you have used Henna, it pretty much smells like that because it has Lawsonia inermis (henna) in it but it doesn't stain my skin in case you are wondering.

The best part about it is that it feels very soothing on the skin. There is a slight minty sensation which is absolutely relaxing to cool you off on a hot summer day. As the mask dries, it tightens greatly so I would suggest applying a thin layer instead of a thick one which could feel a bit uncomfortable.  While rinsing off, I massage my skin for up to two to three minutes to buff away the dead skin cells. My skin definitely feels squeaky clean and smooth every time I use it. Since it could be drying, do not forget to moisturize. I personally haven't used it as a body mask because I prefer using a scrub but you can try that too.

Overall, I think it’s a good mask for combination to oily skin types. It's a quick fix for open pores and helps keep sebum in control.

You might like it if...

• You have combination to oily skin type
• It reduces the appearance of pores
• It's all natural. No parabens, silicones or pegs
• Your skin feels clean and smooth with its use
• You are happy with the quantity

You might not like it if...

• You have dry to normal skin type
• The minty/tingling sensation bothers you
• You have a sensitive skin
• You are not fond of herbal scents
