Simone Kiernan

Welcome to the Tichka Ritual. Each of our oils is 100% pure, cold-pressed, and traditionally crafted in Morocco. To help you get the very best from them, we’ve created this simple guide with practical tips for skin, hair, and culinary use.

How to Use Argan Oil

For Skin

  • Warm 2–3 drops between your palms and press into damp skin.
  • Use morning and night in place of, or under, your moisturiser.
  • Mix 1–2 drops with foundation for a natural, dewy glow.

For Hair

  • Smooth a few drops through damp ends to reduce frizz.
  • Massage into scalp as a weekly treatment, leave 30 minutes, then wash out.

For Body

  • Apply after showering on slightly damp skin for lasting hydration.
  • Blend with sugar for a natural exfoliating scrub.

  • Gently press into areas prone to fine lines (under eyes, forehead).
  • Use under your SPF in the morning for antioxidant protection.

For Brightness & Repair

  • Pair with a jade roller or gua sha for lymphatic drainage.
  • Layer with Argan Oil: apply argan first for hydration, then prickly pear for barrier support.
