Benefits of Almond Oil

• Almond oil works as a moisturizer and emollient. A moisturizer keeps skin from drying, especially as you grow older. An emollient, on the other hand, nourishes and softens the skin. Almond oil works like natural baby oil and promotes skin and hair health. It helps maintain a youthful complexion.
  
  
• Almond oil skin benefits include treatment of dry skin. The oil relieves soreness, rashes, itchiness and irritation caused by dry skin. It maintains the skin's optimum moisture balance. It can also be used in delicate areas such as the under-eye region to prevent crow's feet.
  
  
• Massage parlors and spas use almond oil because it is a great massage oil. Not only is it non-greasy, it is also an excellent carrier oil that massage therapists combine with essential oils. It keeps the skin soft and lubricated, and is extensively used in aromatherapy. It has one of the sweetest scents as well.
  
  
• Almond oil is recommended for people who are beginning to notice signs of aging in their skin, especially dryness and wrinkles. Being an effective moisturizer, almond oil can work wonders for the skin. It contains nutrients that keep the skin soft and reduce dullness.

Caution

People who are allergic to nuts should not use almond oil because it may cause adverse reactions. Be careful while using it, for although its color is light, it can stain your clothes. Store almond oil in a cool dark environment, and refrigerate after opening.
