Almond oil is a lovely, easily absorbed, soothing oil that is often used as an ingredient in skincare products to help soothe and soften the skin and to treat minor wounds and cuts. It is a great option to use when creating your own products, or just use on it's own for it's beneficial properties.
Almond oil is rich in Vitamin A, B and E, monounsaturated fatty acids, proteins, and essential minerals such as: Calcium, Copper, Iron, Magnesium, Manganese, Phosphorus, Potassium, Selenium and Zinc. These vitamins and minerals help soothe the skin from irritation, protect the skin from UV radiation damage and restore the skin’s moisture barrier.
Here are some of the benefits of using Almond Oil:
Reduces puffiness and circles under eyes.
Because almond oil is an anti-inflammatory and antioxidant, it can help ease swelling of the skin and it can also brighten dark sections that may have developed under eyes.
Improves complexion and skin tone.
Due to its emollient properties, almond oil has the potential to even out your skin tone and improve the complexion over time. It will provide protecting, moisturising and lubricating benefits to your skin.
Treats dry, irritated skin
Almond oil has been used for centuries to treat dry skin conditions. It helps relieve the inflammation, itchiness and redness and is a great option to use for eczema and psoriasis.
Improves acne
Almond oil’s fatty acid content not only helps dissolve excess oil on the face, but also decreases inflammation which can reduce the appearance of acne.
Helps reverse sun damage
Vitamin E has antioxidant properties that can prevent cell damage and help reduce ultraviolet (UV) damage to the skin caused by the sun.
Reduces the appearance of scars and stretch marks
In ancient Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine, almond oil was used to reduce scarring. The vitamin E content may contribute to helping smooth the skin. Almond oil also has incredible softening properties, so when it is applied to areas where stretch marks typically occur, it works to soften that skin and allow for it to stretch without worsening the marks.
Contains Antioxidants
Almond oil has high concentrations of vitamin E, magnesium phosphorus, and copper which makes it a rich anti-oxidant. Antioxidants are known to prevent free radicals from damaging cells in the body and the skin.
Almond oil can also be used as a makeup remover, to treat chapped lips and work it through your hair as a leave-in conditioner. People with nut allergies should avoid using almond oil.
You can see why almond oil is a well loved carrier oil. Make sure you have some on hand to incorporate into your skin care routine.
