THE BENEFITS OF ALMOND OIL

We love almond oil! We love it because it's good for almost everything: for the face, for the skin, for growing eyelashes and eyebrows... It's simply wonderful.

Well, as its name suggests, it is extracted from the fruit of the almond tree, but almonds can be of two types: sweet and bitter. We get a lot of cosmetic benefits from sweet almonds. In fact, we use them in our shower gels and in our facial creams and eye contours. And that's because sweet almond oil contains high levels of vitamins A, B, and E.

On the other hand, bitter almonds are usually used for aroma because they release hydrocyanic acid when they come into contact with water or saliva. If used in large quantities, they could even be toxic.

For the body: Sweet almond oil deeply moisturizes the skin, so the first beneficiaries are those with dry, flaky, or simply dehydrated skin due to lack of care. Something that, by the way, is quite common when we are in a hurry. With sweet almond oil in our gels, the skin comes out of the shower quite hydrated, and oily skin shouldn't worry because it won't produce more sebum.

For stretch marks: For those who are pregnant or notice that stretch marks have appeared after a period of losing and gaining weight, sweet almond oil also works wonders. If you are in any of these cases, you can contact us so we can offer you a personalized treatment that can help you a lot.

For the face: Being so hydrating, if you have dry facial skin, it will be great for making it softer and more elastic! Of course, before applying it, make sure your face is thoroughly clean, either with water or your usual facial cleanser, because applying products to a dirty face would encourage the appearance of pimples. Also, having anti-inflammatory properties, it is an ideal product for reducing under-eye bags; you just need to apply a few drops with gentle taps before sleeping and let it sit.

For hair: If you have dry hair, or if it has recently become drier for some reason (often due to chlorine, salt, dyes, or sun), you can restore its shine by rehydrating it with a natural shampoo and then applying almond oil. The method of use involves applying the shampoo, letting it sit for about 5 minutes, and then rinsing. This way, you will enjoy soft and silky hair. In addition, this type of oil helps prevent hair loss by strengthening the natural strands that cover each hair.

For eyebrows: This is one of those simple remedies you can use if you'd like to have fuller eyebrows. In that case, we recommend wetting a cotton pad with sweet almond oil and using it twice a day on your eyebrows. In principle, with time and consistency, you will achieve stronger and denser eyebrows.

And it's the same old story... refined is cheaper but not as beneficial for our skin. So it's best to make sure you buy virgin almond oil if you need it. And, as we always like to say... help families who have set up a small herbalist shop next to your home to continue their business. It costs nothing to support small businesses and go to your usual shopkeeper for advice.
