I have read claims that almond oil are beneficial for people that are sensitive for most other ingrediens. What are the benefits of almond oil for skin care?
It's not all almond oil, but sweet almond oil that's beneficial for the skin. In fact, the sweetness comes down to the low acid level in the oil extracted depending on the nature and provenance of the seeds.
As a sunscreen - Almond oil can be used as a light and effective barrier from potentially harmful UVA and UVB rays, with a natural sun protection factor of 6. Thanks to its abundance of vitamin E, it will also work to rejuvenate and hydrate the skin during and after sun exposure.
Almond oil is packed with vitamin A, E, omega 3 fatty acid and zinc, which may stimulate the production of new skin cells and protect the skin from sun damage and premature aging.
