How to Use Moroccan Argan Oil on Your Face
Facial argan oil works in tiny amounts. One to three drops on clean, slightly damp skin is enough for most people. This routine covers morning, night, and how to layer it with moisturizer.
Guide
A simple face method
Cleanse, then apply argan oil while skin is still slightly damp. Warm 1–3 drops between your palms and press over face and neck. Damp skin helps a thin layer spread instead of sitting in patches.
In the morning, use the smallest amount and follow with sunscreen if you go outside. At night you can use a drop more for dry or mature skin.
If your face looks shiny after five minutes, you used too much. Start with one drop.

Layering with other products
On normal skin, oil usually goes before a light moisturizer or replaces it. Very dry skin can take a drop after cream to seal. Do not mix a heavy perfume oil on top if you want the argan scent and feel to stay clean.
Key points
Face routine rules
Timing
After cleansing; night is ideal for a richer layer.
Skin type
Dry and combination skins usually love it; oily skin should keep to one drop.
Sunscreen
Oil is not SPF. Wear sunscreen in the day.
FAQ
Face use — FAQs
Before or after moisturizer?
Before on normal skin. One drop after cream if you are very dry.
Can I use it every day?
Yes, in small amounts. Daily use beats occasional heavy layers.
Will it clog pores?
Pure argan oil is generally well tolerated, but any oil can feel heavy if you over-apply. Patch-test if you are acne-prone.
