 With Wild Wood Groves argan oils, you can do both - the company produces ethically-produced and traded argan food oil and pure argan skincare, created in Morocco and found online at www.wildwoodgroves.com. Model and writer Sophie Dahl is just one of their famous fans, she calls the collection "bliss for the skin."

Produced from the finest cold-pressed, wild-harvest seeds, we loved the facial 'skin food', which is both natural and nourishing and comes in a variety of blends for different skin types. Naturally high in Vitamin E, you can use it daily to help reduce fine lines, soften the skin and restore moisture.

Blended with the finest essential oils, a little goes a long way too, which is another benefit. You only need to use a few drops for each application - warm the oil on your fingertips and then gently apply.

Easily absorbed, as well as gentle, you can use it on the delicate skin under your eyes as well as on your hands to soften skin and cuticles and strengthen nails and on any specific dry patches on your face or body. Or, add a little to bath water, or apply it to dry, damaged hair for 30 minutes before shampooing.

Men can use it before shaving or as a moisturiser and if you suffer from psoriasis, acne, rosacea or dry eczema, try the Baby Blend, which comes with calming chamomile and cooling lavender. If your skin is ultra sensitive then try the Simply Argan skin care oil - you can use it on babies, to treat cradle cap or dry patches.

We loved the Gold, Frankincense and Myrrh Christmas gift set (£27.50) - a total festive treat. Presented in an organza bag, it features a 15ml gold bottle of pure argan oil blended with rose and frankincense and a 15ml silver bottle of pure argan oil blended with myrrh, geranium and mandarin.

Prices start from £12.50 for 15ml and you can buy online at www.wildwoodgroves.com or by phone on 020 8458 2738. The final order date for Christmas is Tuesday 21st December.
