Touted for a plenty of beauty benefits, Almond oil helps improve complexion and skin tone, reduce eye bags and under-eye circles, treat dry skin, prevent free radical damage, improve acne and, reduce the appearance of scars or any sun damage. And, it’s not just these, there’s a lot more that an Almond Oil can do. For instance, you’re running out of your makeup remover or face wipe, almond oil is your savior. When traveling, always do carry a small amount of almond oil in a clear bottle and remember that a little of it goes a long way.

My Experience:

The consistency is like that of any other oil. It has a slight golden / yellow color, like that of an almond and has no harsh or unpleasant fragrance as such. It is very mild and hypoallergenic.

Furthermore, it helps repair the collagen layer, thus, helping reduce the fine lines and the wrinkles.

And so, if your nails are brittle and easily chips or breaks, almond oil is to your rescue, to help your nails grow with strength. And, this is not it. The oil is extremely versatile and can be put to many more uses such as in promoting eyelash and hair growth, aromatherapy, getting rid of dark circles, remedy for psoriasis and eczema, et cetera.
