I rinse and dry my face after using the alum block, pour about 5 drops into my palms and rub it over my freshly shaved face.
If you are looking to purchase argan oil there are a few things to check to make sure you are getting the real deal. You want the ingredient list on the bottle to say argania spinosa, which is the Latin name for argan oil. There should be no other ingredients and cold pressed is the best. Real argan oil also has a fairly strong nutty scent when it is dispensed. Some people find it unpleasant but it fades very quickly. It is an expensive item but a little goes a very long way. I have had a 4 ounce bottle for a couple months and have used about 1\4 of it with at least one, usually 2 applications per day. Once after shaving and once right before bed.
