Moroccan women's nail care

Moroccan women soak their brittle and soft fingernails once a week for 15 minutes in a mixture of argan oil and lemon juice. You can also use this nail treatment daily for a week – it will make your nails strong and healthy.

Did you know: The centuries-old knowledge and practices of the Berbers regarding the use of the argan tree and its nuts are considered intangible cultural heritage of humanity: Berber women collect the hard argan nuts and their tough shells along with stones. The women use the argan oil themselves for cooking as well as for personal care: to protect the skin from the sun, from the desert wind and skin aging, to strengthen hair and nails, and to treat wounds.
