The benefits of Sweet Almond Oil in Skincare

The benefits of sweet almond oil in skincare are many:-

• It includes  vitamins and minerals that are vital for skin health, for example, Vitamin E,  which is beneficial for dry skin as it is moisturising and also reduces wrinkles and helps heal scarring and sun-damaged skin.  It is also It contains Vitamin A and magnesium, which too serve to make it a very emollient oil and easily absorbed by the skifn
• It has antibacterial and anti-fungal properties which can help with the problem of acne.  
• It has anti-oxidants which help fight off free radicals on the skin
• Because of its many minerals and vitamins this oil is a good one for women during pregnancy and abdominal stretch marks.  I am testament to this.  During my two pregnancies, I rubbed sweet almond oil onto my every expanding tummy from the very start.  I have no stretch marks and I can only think it was due to the sweet almond oil
• It can be rubbed into the hair strands the night before washing the hair to keep the hair nice and shiny and healthy

In short, it is a very important oil in the skincare area and one that I, personally, use in all of my products - even in my handmade soaps but especially in my body butters, face creams and hand creams
