In recent years, the sweet almond oil has earned a place of honor in the world of natural cosmetics. The reason is very simple: it has unique properties and is also super versatile. You will be able to to use on a thousand and one occasions.
To show you that we are not exaggerating even a little, let's look at each one of these benefits, uses and properties of sweet almond oil.
What is sweet almond oil used for
This wonderful oil, considered since ancient times as the elixir of health and beauty is considered the softer and more moisturizing of all the essential oils in the world.
Rich in vitamins such as A, B, D, or vitamin E; in omega 6 and 9, and in minerals and antioxidants; you will see how, after reading its properties, uses, and benefits, you rush to your nearest cosmetics store and get one (or ten) bottles of almond oil.
Sweet almond oil for the skin
As we have seen in other articles (take a look at the properties of calendula oil or to those of jojoba oil), natural essential oils are especially good for the skin, and sweet almond oil is no exception. And this is because...
- Intensely hydrates and nourishes the skin, so apply it all over your body and you will have silky skin.
- It is a powerful antioxidant, put a few drops around your eyes and you will see how expression lines and wrinkles are considerably reduced.
- Fights acne like nothing else since it is not greasy at all and regulates sebum production (a property we know has an impact, since it is quite the opposite of what is usually thought when hearing the word oil).
- As it is one of the mildest and most moisturizing oils, it is ideal for maintaining skin health and treat psoriasis, dermatitis and others skin rashes.
- Acts as anti-inflammatory thanks to its high content of zinc and vitamin E. Also, zinc makes it perfect for treating the most sensitive skin on Earth, that of babies. So yes, sweet almond oil is one of the best products you can apply to your baby's skin.
- Excellent for removing spots, marks, or scars.
And if you have very sensitive skin, you have to try a exfoliant with almond oil since it will remove all the dead skin cells without irritating it. If exfoliants leave your skin soft and silky by themselves, just imagine how it will be with this one.
As you can see, it has many benefits that will make you enjoy just by seeing how the appearance and health of your skin improve so much; but if you want to enjoy even more, we recommend you to give yourself massages with almond oil. You'll kill two birds with one stone: you'll relax and take care of your skin. Is there a better 2 in 1?
