5 Ways to Use Almond Oil




Almond Oil has become my favorite holistic beauty product! There are so many things you can do with it. Here's 5:


1. Oil Facial

Slather almond oil onto your face and gently massage in circular motions.

Saturate a wash cloth with hot water and place over your face. Leave the washcloth over your face for 5 minutes, or until it becomes cool.

Remove the cloth and use it to wipe the oil from your face. Your face will most likely feel slick, but your skin will absorb the extra almond oil. A pro to this is that you won't have to moisturize!

With an oil facial you are dissolving and wiping away the bad dirt and oils from your face and replenishing it with clean, nourishing oil. There are no harsh chemicals involved and no suds – nothing that strips your skin. When you strip your skin of its sebum, it goes into overdrive and tries to create more. This causes clogged pores which leads to blackheads, whiteheads, and irritation.

Try adding essential oils to your facial – Frankincense for aging skin, Purification for acne prone skin, or Lavender for a calming effect. All of these come in the Young Living Premium Starter Kit!


2. Make Up Remover

Almond oil contains large amounts of monounsaturated fats, which promote healthy cell membranes in the skin. It's a common component of natural anti-aging products because healthy, hydrated skin stay younger longer! Almond oil is a light and less greasy option that acts as an ideal makeup remover. Almond oil effectively opens the pores and ensures all makeup is properly removed. It also reduces the odds of acne and pimple occurrence and can be used for all skin types. It's great around my eyes. Every eye makeup remover I have ever tried has irritated my eyes. I can slather on the almond oil and not worry about my eyes burns and itching.
 
 



3. Nail and Cuticle Treatments

Nail and cuticle treatments containing almond oil can help keep nails strong, hydrated, and less prone to peeling and breaking. Pure almond oil can be used in place of cuticle oil to massage and care for rough, ragged cuticles, and can also help to deliver fatty acids and replace the moisture balance lost during cold or dry weather or from the effects of soap.

4. Eye Serum

If you are looking for a natural solution to get rid of dark under eye circles, almond oil is most suitable. Simply apply the oil before going to bed and allow it to work while you sleep. For optimum results do so regularly for a couple of weeks at least. The treatment will help you get rid of dark circles as well as reduce dark eyelids and crow’s feet. Add eucalyptus essential oil to reduce puffiness.



5. Long and Healthy Hair

Almond oil is a rich source of magnesium which is used in a variety of hair products. Deficiency of magnesium can result in heavy hair fall. Apply almond oil once or twice a week to moisturize the scalp. This reduces hair fall and improves hair quality. After massaging, soak a towel in hot water and wrap your hair with it. This ensures better absorption of the oil.

  3. Oh man those theaters are the best!! It's really hard to go back to a normal theater after that haha. There's nothing better than sitting back and being served wine and dinner while watching the movie!

  4. I love a few drops of almond oil mixed with epsom salt and sugar. Makes the best scrub for your hands after spending time in the garden.

  10. Its so unfortunate that my husband left me after five years in marriage. thought he finally left the house in the third year of our marriage just because i was unable to conceive. i wonder what happened to Andrea Delacruz my husband that makes him leave the house. he is a God fearing person and very humble. i know that leaving me wasn't ordinary. we dated for seven months and i never notice such character in him before i married him. i cried and wept through my days and night because i really love Andrea Delacruz my husband. in the process of crying and thinking, i recall that his grand mom never support our marriage, she never wanted me to be married to the family. i never give up and i prayed for God to intervene. one a faithful day it was a Thursday morning when my fellow college in my working place noticed my attitude and behaviour seems different from the real me and i never wanted to disclosed my Family issues but i shared with her my feeling and what i have been going through. she told me that something similar to these happened to her Elder sister and she told me that everything will be fine. she later invite me to her house to meet her elder sister then i opened up to her and she refers me to a man called Prophet Adeyemi and i did just as she said. i called Prophet Adeyemi immediately and he respond to my call in that moment and the first thing he said was 'WOMAN WOMAN' you have to believe and have faith that your problem will be solved. i asked, what should i do? then he said to me in two days time my husband will be back and i asked, Prophet Adeyemi is this going to be real? the last thing he said was that i will testify of his work. i did just as instructed and i watch for good forty-eight {48} hours. hmmmm, it was a good night time at 10:05pm within the days that Prophet Adeyemi told me that my husband Andrea Delacruz will be back, at first i heard the bell rings getting close to my door i heard someone saying HONEY!!!, it sound familiar i opened the door and i saw my husband standing and weeping in front of me. i was not surprised because its all i have been praying for him to come back home. Guess what in six days after i noticed my system and my body temperature is changed and i went to clinic for check up and the doctor told me that there is life in me which means i am pregna i really wants to use this opportunity to thanks Prophet Adeyemi so much and my lovely collage who directed me to Prophet Adeyemi if you have any problem or predicament that is worse or exactly like this you have been into, i plead you to contact Prophet Adeyemint.
