Sweet Almond Oil
When the almond tree was first domesticated in the Middle Eastern regions of the Mediterranean, it was quickly discovered that the oil that came from the almond is extremely beneficial for healthy skin.
Almond oil contains all sorts of natural goodness that includes vitamin E, vitamin A, essential fatty acids, proteins, potassium, and zinc.
As a very mild, hypoallergenic oil, almond oil is safe for almost all skin types - sensitive, dry, oily. Certain properties in almond oil deeply clean the pores without clogging them.
All you do is rub the oil between your hands to warm it up before applying to your skin.
That's it!
Uses For Almond Oil:
Cleansing - Sweet almond oil is actually excellent at purging the skin of toxins, opening up pores, and retaining moisture that blocks the entry of dirty microbes. It safely removes makeup including mascara too.
Puffy Eyes - Using sweet almond oil as a face moisturizer, pat some oil around your eyes before you go to bed at night.
Moisturizer - Harsh elements, stress and the loss of collagen over time, wrinkles and age spots. Collagen, the protein responsible for keeping our skin youthful, forms an even layer of padding under the skin. As we age, fine wrinkles begin to appear due to the thinning of the skin and unevenness in the collagen padding underneath.
Lighten The Appearance of Scars - The properties of the oil keep the skin's moisture levels balanced, can rejuvenate the scar tissue, and can possibly even out the color and texture the healing process left behind. Applying sweet almond oil to your adorable baby bump will help moisturize as it grows!
Oily Skin - Our bodies naturally produce an oily substance called sebum, which is important for skin protection. If your skin produces too much sebum, it can easily trap dirt, clog pores and cause issues with acne. Sweet almond oil is great for cleaning your pores of impurities, dirt, and unnecessary oils.
Dry Skin - The fatty acids found in sweet almond oil helps the skin retain moisture and keep it hydrated while the vitamin E soothes irritation.
Hands and Feet - The zinc content can help smooth rough, calloused skin, Almond oil is non greasy.
Chapped lips - apply a little sweet almond oil onto dry, cracked lips and the nourishing properties of the oil will lock in moisture.
Healthy Scalp - By deeply moisturizing your scalp and hair with sweet almond oil, you can potentially soothe flaking and itching.
