More About Almond Oil
A great-tasting natural moisturizer?
Almonds are one of the world’s most popular nuts for snacking, and they’re a tasty and healthy ingredient in many savory dishes. But did you know the oil of the almond is a fantastic natural moisturizer?
Some of the same nutrients that make almonds such a healthy addition to our diet – vitamins A, B, and E, certain phytonutrients, essential fatty acids, and a variety of minerals – make it an effective natural moisturizer and skin protector.
Check out these cosmetic uses for pure almond oil:
- It’s a fantastic emollient – In case you’re not familiar with the term, emollient is just a fancy name for a substance that softens the skin. And almond oil is a world-class emollient that soothes, softens, and moisturizes.
- May help to reduce the appearance of dark circles – For many of us dark circles under the eyes is not a desirable look. Apply some almond oil before bed and allow it to work overnight for a few weeks. It may also help with the appearance of dark eyelids, but regardless you’ll be moisturizing and soothing your skin.
- Makes a great natural make-up remover – Almond oil for skin is a light oil that leaves almost no greasy residue, making it an ideal make-up remover, with the added benefit of nourishing and moisturizing your skin.
- It’s an ideal hair care oil – With its high vitamin and essential fatty acid content almond oil is an ideal way to add moisture and shine to dull, dry, undernourished hair.
