Moisturizing and Soothing Dry Skin

• One of the primary uses of almond oil is to treat dry skin. Almond oil is high in vitamins A and E and healthy fats, and it's easily absorbed into the skin. This means that it's optimal for moisturizing dry skin. Use almond oil on tough areas prone to dryness, such as elbows, knees, heels and hands.
  
  

Brightening Complexion

• Dry skin can appear pale, ashy and unhealthy. A few drops of almond oil on the face and neck every day can help restore your skin's natural moisture levels, which can promote healthy skin cells. Restoring your skin's natural moisture levels can make skin visibly brighter and healthier after just a few applications.
  
  

Treating Itching and Inflammation

• Skin that doesn't get enough moisture can become itchy, red and inflamed. Aside from moisturizing skin, almond oil can soothe skin that's itchy and inflamed due to dryness. Almond oil is a natural lubricant. Simply smoothing almond oil onto irritated skin can create instant relief and prevent future breakouts of uncomfortable itching.
  
  

Protecting Skin from the Elements

• Cold, dry weather and wind can suck moisture out of your skin and chap your face, hands and lips. While almond oil can help treat uncomfortably dry skin, it can also stop dryness before it starts. If you're going out into dry, cold weather, use almond oil on your lips and exposed skin before you leave the house to protect your skin from dryness. Don't forget to apply again after you get back.
  
  

Almond Oil for Sensitive Skin

• Many people with sensitive or combination skin may be hesitant to use oil on their skin for fear of an allergic reaction or a breakout. However, sweet almond oil is hypoallergenic, and has been known to even out skin tone and clear acne. Many people with sensitive skin find that natural remedies work best to treat skin issues. If you have highly sensitive skin, speak to a dermatologist before altering your skincare routine.
