So that you can see that we are not exaggerating even a little, let's look at all these benefits, uses and properties of sweet almond oil one by one .

What is sweet almond oil used for?

This wonderful oil, considered since ancient times as the elixir of health and beauty, is considered the softest and most moisturizing of all essential oils in the world.

Rich in vitamins such as A, B, D, and vitamin E ; in omega 6 and 9 , and in minerals and antioxidants ; you will see how, after reading its properties, uses and benefits, you run to your nearest cosmetics store and get one (or ten) bottles of almond oil.

Sweet almond oil for skin

As we have seen in other articles (take a look at the properties of calendula oil or jojoba oil ), natural essential oils are especially good for the skin, and sweet almond oil is no exception. And this is because...

• It hydrates and nourishes the skin intensely , 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.

• It fights acne like nothing else since it is not at all greasy and regulates sebum production (a property that we know has an impact, since it is the opposite of what people usually think when they hear the word oil).

• As it is one of the mildest and most moisturizing oils, it is ideal for maintaining skin health and treating psoriasis, dermatitis and other skin rashes .

• It acts as an anti-inflammatory thanks to its high content of zinc and vitamin E. In addition, zinc makes it perfect for treating the most sensitive skin on the face of the Earth, that of babies . So yes, sweet almond oil is one of the best products you can put on your baby's skin.

• Excellent for removing stains, marks or scars.

And if you have very sensitive skin, you should try an almond oil scrub, as it will remove all the dead cells from your skin without irritating it. If scrubs leave your skin soft and silky on their own, this one will do just fine.

As you can see, it has many benefits that will make you enjoy seeing how the appearance and health of your skin improves so much; but if you want to enjoy it even more, we recommend that you give yourself a massage with almond oil .
