The Natural & Chemical-Free Way to Younger Healthier Skin and Beating Difficult Skin Conditions by Argana Collection
We get many questions about Argan oil and its effects on the skin. As well as problems particularly conditions such as Acne and Eczema. While Argan is an excellent skin treatment and moisturiser it is most effective in the healing process working on "recovering" skin rather than damaged, cracked or broken skin. Through these discussions we have acquired a lot of very effective advice for the treatment of Eczema in particular however much of this information is valuable in getting other skin problems such as Acne under control.
Some of this information is quite well known but it is surprising just how many medical practitioners do not give this advice.
In the case of Eczema too often doctors only treatment recommendations are Steroid creams, which are very damaging to the skin in long term usage or heavy petrochemical creams!
We are not medically trained however we have looked into the information that has been passed to us from customer feedback.

We will be adding more articles about Argan, natural cures, Anti-Ageing, Skin Problems, Arthritis and more in the future. Please follow us on twitter or facebook -Arganoildirect
Natural Remedies for skin conditions
Dairy Products, Eczema & Acne
The first and most widely know action to take in tackling Eczema is to stop eating all dairy products immediately, cheese, cows milk etc.
After all cows milk is designed for baby cows not human adults!
Body Acidity Levels and PH Diet
Addressing the issues of diet and in particular body Acidity levels is perhaps the simplest, easiest, most effective least expensive way to tackle skin problems.
Avoid or reduce alcohol intake
Alcoholic drinks can be a major cause of problems. Not just because of the effect of alcohol on blood acidity levels but because of the negative effect on liver function.
Alcohol may well be tolerated in most cases where the diet and lifestyle is otherwise healthy but the regular consumption of large amounts of Alcohol in combination with other factors will certainly have negative effects on skin condition. Some fruit based drinks, in particular Cider, can have a strong negative effect. This may also be connected to the de-hydrating effect that alcohol has on the body generally.
Coffee
Coffee is Very, very acidifying. It can be of benefit when drunk after meals as it will help digestion. However coffee should not be drunk on its own. People with a slower metabolism, more prone to put on fat, may well have problems processing the drink which can result in headaches and migraines.
De-Acidifying the Body
This is a very important treatment to try and will have a powerful effect on many health problems, such as Arthritis, and not just skin problems.
Here is an absolutely TOP TIP to try immediately in order to reduce the state of acidity within your body and combat Eczema or for that matter most common skin complaints.
This very simple method is to drink plenty of Lemon Juice.
You should already be making sure that you are drinking at least 1 and a half litres of mineral water per day.
However the benefit of this can be greatly enhanced by adding the juice of a half to 1 whole fresh lemon diluted in each large glass of water.
Lemons are known to be acidic BUT, rather surprisingly, the fruit has a powerful opposite, Alkalising, effect on your metabolism.
Aim to use around to 2 or 3 ( preferably Organic ) lemons a day or whatever you feel you can tolerate. This can be drunk either as a hot or cold. Add some kind of natural sweetener if you need to but try to avoid adding to much sugar.
Recent research also suggests that adding a half teaspoon of Turmeric Spice in a large glass of water with lemon juice will also speed up the healing process.
It is also worth trying warm lemon juice with Ginger powder, honey and a tiny pinch of cayenne ( for sore throats ) for winter colds.)
Detoxifying
The natural state of our bodies is to be healthy. How could we have evolved other wise. Unfortunately unhealthy lifestyles and eating habits and pressures of modern life can easily wreak havoc on our systems.
Whether you have minor complexion problems, Acne or more serious problems such as Eczema or just about any health issues following a simple and easy to do de-tox course can have great and rapid healing effects.
This will be further enhanced by following a course of de-acidifying / alkalising your system – often known as PH Diet.
The liver is responsible for cleaning out harmful waste from our system. However, over time, foods, especially large amounts of Alcohol and even physical injuries to your back ( see later section on Chiropractors) can damage the liver cells and impair its function.
There are a number of commercially available Liver detox courses that you can buy containing elements such as Black Radish and these can be a good starting point.
To get your system back on track on of the best solutions is to undertake a Vegetable juice fast. This should be done with care and consideration to your current state of health. In all cases a short 3 day fast can achieve good results.
Vegetables, leaves and grasses are packed with all the nutrients we need. As humans our bodies are actually built to live on a vegetarian diet. Just take a look at your teeth! Apart from the two canine teeth we have large flat teeth ideal for chewing and grinding vegetable and plant foods. If you look at the teeth of any carnivore, such as your cat, you will quickly see that they have the sharp pointed teeth designed for ripping through animal flesh. Even the our jaw structures are different from meat eating animals.
The long complicated human digestive tract is designed for the slow absorption of complex and stable plant food. Carnivores have short, simple bowels to allow for the minimum transit time of unstable, dead, animal food. Their intestinal micro-organisms are different from humans too.
If the common image of a thin, pasty looking vegetarian student, so often portrayed on the media, makes you doubt this then consider that Gorillas - huge, muscular animals which could quite easily rip your arm of without any effort! - eat no meat but live on grasses and leaves.
A simple fast detox.
All you need to this is a Juice extractor. Centrifugal extractors are cheap and easy to find. You can also buy a “Macerating” extractor which is much better but a lot more expensive – it has the added advantage of being able to process leaves and grasses as well as extracting more juice per KG.
Good vegetables to start with are carrot, broccoli and celery. These vegetables can be juiced and drunk in combination. Celery has a strong taste and can be combined with carrot. Don't drink too much juiced carrot as the vitamin A and sugar content quite high. It is recommended to drink no more than ½ litre to 1 litre maximum in a day.
It is usually enough to juice 4 medium sized carrots and a stick of celery per drink.
Preparing juices 3 to 4 times a day should be sufficient to prevent getting too hungry. You could supplement this with some Almonds, Pumpkin seeds and dates for energy.
Finally try to include a litre or more of large glasses of mineral water with the juice of ½ – 1 lemon squeezed into it.
In all cases it would preferable to use organic produce to avoid concentrating the phosphates and pesticides which are usually present in in-organic food.
Skin Problems and “Bentonite Clay”
Although no one single cause for psoriasis has been found, it is known that factors inherited from ones parents are important. An abnormal immune response to some part of the skin is now thought to be central. Involved skin is replaced much more rapidly, and has a more vigorous blood supply. This can lead to redness, scaling, thickening and itching of involved areas of skin.
With both of these diseases, recent scientific study has shown that the body's immune system is the culprit. For some reasons yet unknown, in both these instances, the immune system begins to react abnormally, resulting in these debilitating conditions. While there is no official cure for either of these diseases, many people have received great relief, and often total removal of symptoms by using clay - with Calcium Bentonite Clay being the clay of choice.
How Does Clay Help Fight These Afflictions?
Calcium Bentonite Clay acts as a magnet and a sponge. Its highly charged negative ions attract all positive charged ions (bacteria, viruses, toxins, etc.) from your body. These substances stick to and are absorbed by the calcium bentonite clay, and are eliminated from your body with the clay. In his book The Clay Cure, Ran Knishinsky writes: "When clay is consumed, its vital force is released into the physical body and mingles with the vital energy of the body, creating a stronger, more powerful energy in the host. The natural magnetic action transmits a remarkable power to the organism and helps to rebuild vital potential through the liberation of latent energy. When the immune system does not function at its best, the clay stimulates the body's inner resources to awaken the stagnant energy. It supplies the body with the available magnetism to run well.
Clay is said to propel the immune system to find a new healthy balance and strengthens the body to a point of higher resistance."
Fighting Skin Problems Using External and Internal approachWhile applications of Calcium Bentonite Clay may not cure cases of Psoriasis and Eczema, it will help in a significant way. The effective action begins through the electromagnetic process of adsorbing the inflammation in the lesions, along with the deformed cells and dead scales. Pain and itching stop almost instantly following the application of the clay. The clay then assists the body in building new tissue. Smother the affected area with a thick layer of hydrated clay, and then prevent the clay from drying for several hours by wrapping the area with plastic food wrap. Glad Press and Seal works great for this purpose. After several hours, repeat the process with fresh clay and plastic wrap. During the day if the clay wrap is inconvenient just apply the hydrated clay topically in a thin application and let it dry. Re-apply whenever you experience itching.
Combine this program with ingestion of liquefied Calcium Bentonite Clay twice a day. Drink 1 to 2 ounces of liquefied clay twice a day depending on the severity of the condition. Drink it in the morning and in the evening or at bedtime. If you prefer, you can ingest hydrated Calcium Bentonite Clay - 1 to 2 tablespoons twice a day. Also soak 15- 20 minutes at least once a week in a hot bath into which a cup of powdered clay or 2-4 cups of liquefied Calcium Bentonite Clay has been added. People report that this simultaneous external and internal regimen produces the best results. It may take several months to control or get rid of it depending on how severe it is. Also, it may appear to worsen at first as the dead skins flakes off and circulation is pulled to the area making it look red, but this is temporary.
If you are interested in this treatment please take time to learn more. The internet is full of bogus detox sites so care is needed in choosing a supplier. The following web site appears to be genuine and impartial starting point.

Homoeopathy
Homoeopathic treatments can achieve very good results and true cures. The difficult part in starting a Homoeopathic treatment is to find an experienced practitioner. Recommendations from friends are ideal but if you can not find a practitioner through recommendation then you should look for someone with at least 10 years full time experience.
If you are not convinced that Homoeopathic treatments work it may be worth considering that the British Royal Family are known to use Homoeopathic practitioners. Considering that they have an estimated personal wealth of 8 billion pounds you would have thought that they could afford to choose whatever treatment they want and would certainly not be wasting time on treatments that do not work?
Back Injuries
Just about all of our internal organs and processes are connected to blood vessel and nerves that run down our spine. Each vertebrae is related to one or more of our body functions. A back injury can be causing a restriction in the blood flow or nerve messages reaching vital organs. By correcting a back problem the body can start to naturally re-balance itself and annoying pains and aches in other parts of your body. Even conditions such as Asthma can often benefit from Chiropractic treatment.
The only problem is to find an skilled and experienced Chiropractor. This is ideally through recommendation. You should also be aware that there are a number of styles of treatment. The best appears to be S.O.T. ( Sacro Optical Technique ) method which is very gentle. It is slower to achieve results but they tend to be longer lasting. S.O.T. practitioners use “wedges” or “blocks” and a gentle pressure to achieve results.
Stress
Everyone has stress within their lives to a greater or lesser extent. Stress is a mental condition which has real and easily demonstrable effects on body chemistry and function. The important thing is how we react to the stressful situations in our lives. If we are the kind of person prone to just react to problems without thought then we need to take steps to develop methods of managing the stress or remove situations or habits that create the stress. This might be as simple as improving our time management. It is also about breaking bad mental habits. If you can recognise these stressful thought patterns as they begin building you then deliberately starting thinking about something else, a memory or image from some time when you were relaxed and this will begin to train your mind to stop those patterns of thought.
Sun and Fresh Air.
For those of you enough to live In warm, sunny climates people often find that moderate exercise, cycling or a brisk walk will helps with circulation and the sun exposure improves skin condition. However, in some cases people find that this can have the opposite effect!
For many getting overheated and sweating, from sun exposure or strong exercise will causes irritation and would be generally not recommended.
In the case of Sun exposure a good natural moisturiser is essential. Our Organic Cosmetic Argan Oil is ideal for this.
Skin Care
In the case of difficult and irritated skin conditions such as Psoriasis or Eczema DO NOT USE BATHS - Use Showers only – furthermore it is probably best to avoid washing affected areas as much as possible ( within reason!) to allow the natural oils and new skin to reach its own balance.
Absolutely avoid cheap strongly perfumed chemical soaps and heavy moisturisers - and that means just about all commercial soap. They are often likely to either over dry the skin or be too heavy blocking the pores and suffocating the skin.
Again, as a natural moisturiser Organic Argan Oil or mild creams containing Aloe Vera can be a great help. When used before and after showering. However, it should noted that again that oils are normally best applied to skin that is not cracked or broken. Due to the high vitamin and GLA content of the Argan oil it may still of value in all cases. Also refer to the section on Bentonite Clays.
