Moroccan women have long used argan oil to protect their skin from sun damage, a practice that is supported by a 2013 study.
The study found that the antioxidant activity in argan oil helped protect the skin against free radical damage caused by the sun. This helps prevent burns and hyper-pigmentation. Long term, this may even help prevent the development of skin cancer, including melanoma. You can take argan oil supplements orally or apply the oil topically to your skin.
