We all know that moisturizing is all-important, and nowhere more so than the delicate eye area, where aging (read: wrinkles and dark circles) can first rear its ugly head. I like to give this area the extra-special VIP treatment, and my latest eye-care find is the Long Lasting Eye Contour by French niche brand ar457. A skincare line based on North African argan oil, it's especially rich in vitamin E and esential fatty acids, and as it turns out, argan oil has been used for centuries by Morroccan women to enhance their beauty. Packed with these nourishing ingredients, the Eye Contour is intensely hydrating. Best of all though, is that it has an immediate anti-aging effect: light-diffusing particles brighten the area and smooth out wrinkles, giving my tired eyes an instant radiance. I love that the silver, sci-fi-ish test tube dispenser delivers only the exact amount of product, so none of this prized cream goes to waste. And lest you think that an oil-based product must be inherently greasy, lovelies, think again: the Eye Contour is silky smooth, but not at all greasy.

You can also use pure 100% argan oil on your face. The benefits are amazing -often used to balance intense weather affects on the skin like heat or winter cold weather. Argan oil moisturizes, nourishes, and protects your skin. In traditional medicine it is used to reduce scars from acne or chicken pox. ArganBody.com carries organic 100% argan oil and they have other argan oil products like soaps, lotions and creams.
Argan oil is finally making its debut in North America. Thanks for this tip! There is another very high end brand now sold here that I am aware of. They offer 100% natural + organic argan oil skin care combined with essential oils. I love Kaeline's "Jour" (Day) serum as it has the pure argan oil and essential oil of rose. Like you said, the argan oil is not greasy! Kaeline's products are definitely high end as the more exclusive spas in Europe all seem to offer them. Still, the pricing seems reasonable given the rarity or the oil and all its benefits for skin.
