Afternoon beauty fix: Taking Argan oil from hair to face

I love Argan oil for my hair and I’ve heard it’s also great for skin. However, I’m not ready to take the plunge and slather it all over my face. How can I ease it into my skincare routine?
Argan oil has been growing in popularity over the last few years—along with a whole other slew of “double duty” oils (such as coconut and avocado) that are good for you both internally and externally. However, with “oil free!” being the number one message many skincare products like to promote, it can be difficult to make the switch and use oils on your face. But! There’s a reason Argan oil is commonly referred to as liquid gold: It combats almost any skin ailment, from acne and irritation to wrinkles and premature aging. An easy way to start using Argan oil on your face is with Josie Maran’s Rapid Eye Makeup Pen ($32, sephora.com), which has an Argan-infused gel liner and eye shadow. Not only will you get a long-lasting makeup look, you’ll also nourish the skin around your eyes… and probably end up using Argan oil on the rest of your face in no time.
