Almond: the natural ingredient for beauty recipes

When it comes to natural beauty one ingredient often found in many homemade beauty recipes as well as commercially prepared beauty products is Almond. You may find almond in facial scrubs and masks as well as sweet almond oil in preparations for skin and body moisturizers and creams as well as in hair conditioners. Whether using almond meal or sweet almond oil, oil is known for having a rich fatty content which is similar to the natural sebum produced by skin, making it a perfect moisturizer.

A popular choice for skin is almond butter. Though almond meal and sweet almond oil are popular choices, users are cautioned of using bitter almond oil as its safety is disputed.

Sweet almond oil is rich in minerals, protein and fatty acids. It is recommended for all skin types but is specifically beneficial for those with sensitive or aging skin. If making your own beauty recipes with almond oil, keep it refrigerated and buy only as much as needed as Almond oil has a short shelf life.
