Almond oil: A new hit for skin, hair and health.

 

Almonds and almond oil are a complete vitamin bomb. You can use almond oil both on the body and hair, as well as internally. 

Almond oil is very rich in many vitamins and minerals. Specifically, it contains vitamins A, E, F, and minerals such as potassium, calcium, or magnesium. It has regenerative and anti-inflammatory effects and is very popular especially in skin care. Learn in which areas you can use it and for what.

Almond oil and its effects on the skin.

Almond oil was previously used (and still is used occasionally) to soothe the skin and treat minor injuries. In Chinese medicine and Ayurveda, it is a common tool for treating eczema and psoriasis.

Its composition is similar to human skin, so it is very popular in the care of it. It mainly improves the condition of dry and sensitive skin, but it can also alleviate acne, thanks to the content of vitamin A and its antibacterial components.

In addition to vitamin A, it also contains a concentrated amount of vitamin E, which heals sunburned skin, aging skin and can soften the appearance of scars.

It can be used on the face and the whole body, its advantage is that it is quickly absorbed, so it is an ideal oil for the body after a bath. Try mixing it with fragrant essential oils for an even more pleasant effect. Another practical use is instead of a make-up remover because almond oil can quickly remove makeup and any impurities from the skin.

Before applying to the skin and body, try putting a drop of oil on the inside of your wrist, just to make sure you are not allergic.

Almond oil and hair.

It contains a large amount of vitamin B7, or biotin, which is great for strengthening hair and nails. If you have split or dry ends, apply a little almond oil to dry or wet hair, preferably to the bottom length, to avoid rapid greasing of the skin.

You can prepare a wrap from almond oil before washing your hair. It is suitable for dry and brittle hair. Leave on for at least 20 minutes.

Use in the kitchen.

Almond oil is good to use not only on the skin, hair nails, but also internally - in the kitchen. It helps fight high cholesterol and reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease. It contains strong antioxidants and is anti-inflammatory.

If you cook with it, avoid high temperatures, otherwise, all its good properties will be destroyed. It is best in salads and in cold cuisine in general. Therefore, change the extra virgin olive oil for a while for almond olive oil.

If you are considering a purchase, look for quality cold-pressed almond oil, only then will you have a guarantee that the oil has retained all the beneficial vitamins and antioxidants mentioned in the article.
