Ancienne Ambiance London Goddess Argan Beauty Oil

I am a huge fan of beauty oils, whether they are for the bath, the skin, hair, face or body and part of me wishes I had discovered them sooner.  Ancienne Ambiance London is a brand that has been featured on my blog before, firstly with candles and secondly with some of the most delicate fragrances I have come across.  Today, it is the turn of a Beauty Oil, the Goddess Argan Beauty Oil (£40 here).
Ancienne Ambiance London Goddess Argan Beauty Oil
For me, using oil is an integral part of my skincare routine and depending on how my skin or hair is feeling, I introduce an oil.  This Goddess Oil is a blend of rare organic Argan oil, produced using methods which date right back to 1550 BC when it is said the Phoenicians first recorded it as a beauty oil. Naturally rich in Vitamin E, antioxidants and skin nourishing properties, it also contains Squalene, a unique component that hydrates and protects, working with the natural oils in the skin.

A skincare magic wand, Goddess Oil has so many amazing benefits. Ideal to infuse face and body with nourishing hydration, it is also perfectly created to enrich dry split ends and relieve dry scalp concerns.
The Goddess Argan Beauty Oil is a product which is a bit of a multitasker and it can be used in so many different ways, which include:

  • A Face Oil: So nourishing it helps to regenerate skin cells overnight without clogging pores.
  • A Cleansing Oil: This is one of my favourite ways to use this oil as it does an incredible job at not only removing every single trace of makeup but also those hard to remove waterproof mascaras. I always use a hot damp cloth on my face before using this oil and then simply let the oil remove every last trace of makeup on my face and along with it, all On sort of other nasties.
  • On the hands and body: Goddess Oil strengthens skin elasticity, reduces the appearance of stretch marks and works to prevent skin peeling and cracking. So, I have been using this oil after showering whilst my skin is still damp and I love how smooth my skin feels, especially my shins which usually resemble lizard skin. On the hands, you can add a few drops into your hand cream as an added extra, or simply rub in any excess oil from other treatments, it is said to work amazingly well for the cuticles.
  • On the Hair and Scalp:I am a convert to hair oils and the Goddess Argan Oil is great for use on dry or damp hair, it doesn't leave it feeling weighed down or greasy. You can use it to tame flyaways, as a hair mask before shampooing, to dry and frizzy ends or for the scalp, using a cotton bud, simply apply the oil to the irritated and dry areas, leave it on the scalp overnight and wash out in the morning - this is something I really want to try.
  • On the feet: Much as the same way you would use this on the hands, I have smothered my feet in this oil, put on my moisturising socks and left it on overnight to soak in. The end result is soft and smooth skin on my feet.
  • Massaging: If you have sore achy joints and muscles, for me it is usually my shoulders, then you can sweet talk your other half into giving you a massage and use this oil.

Such a relaxing oil which smells sweetly of Grapes and sweet almonds and both are fragrances I absolutely love and enjoy.  As this is an oil, it does have quite a thick texture to it, so a little goes a long way and once on the skin and massaged in, there is no greasy residue or feeling left behind, just the fragrant sweet almonds.

Do you use an oil in your beauty regime? Have you ever tried one if you don't?
