What is almond oil?
Almond oil is derived from either bitter or sweet almonds. Only sweet almond oil, extractedfrom the ripe kernels of the Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis tree, is utilized in skin and cosmeticproducts. It is composed of mainly linoleic and oleic triglycerides-- unsaturated fatty acids,which have tremendous skin softening properties and help prevent premature signs of aging. Itis also rich in proteins, manganese, zinc, magnesium, Vitamin B, Vitamin E, Vitamin A, andVitamin K. Vitamin E is a potent antioxidant that protects skin damage induced by free radicals.
Almond oil has emollient and anti-inflammatory properties. Evidence shows almond oil can help reduce post-operative hypertrophic scars, likely due to its high Vitamin E content. Sweetalmond oil for skin health and hydration is well documented. Anecdotal evidence and clinicalresearch show that it can:
- Restore skin barrier function
- Relieve dry skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis
- Calm existing acne and skin irritation
- Reduce inflammation
- Even out skin tone
- Protect against UVA and UVB damage
- Relieve symptoms of dermatitis
- Lighten dark under-eye circles
Helps with these environmental & lifestyle factors:
Almond Oil reduces the effects of the following lifestyle and environmental factors on your skin.
Keeps your skin hydrated and supple by locking in moisture even if you live in a region with dry air. Air that lacks humidity tends to dry skin out and cause itching, flaking or cracking of the skin.
Keeps your skin healthy even if you spend a lot of time in the sun. The sun's heat dries out areas of unprotected skin and ultraviolet (UV) radiation can cause burning and photoaging.
Keeps your skin as its best even when you are jet-setting around the world. It prevents acne and redness flare-ups triggered by travel stress and fights skin dryness caused by cabin air.
Dry skin
Due to its emollient properties, almond oil has been used historically to treat dry skin and even severe dry skin conditions like eczema and psoriasis.
Oily skin
While it may seem counterintuitive to put oil on oily skin, almond oil dissolves the sebum and prevents pimples. It is, in fact, a good idea for oily skinned people to apply almond oil.
