The Ancient Glory of Almonds

Benefits of almonds for skin

Almond seeds, often mistakenly called nuts, are a rich source of beneficial vitamins and microelements that promote natural nutrition and cell renewal. Therefore, even just eating them regularly can significantly improve the condition of your skin, hair and nails.

  1. Vitamin E - just 1 handful of seeds (about 30 g) contains more than 70% of the daily dose of this powerful antioxidant, which slows down the aging process and protects the skin from exposure to UV radiation.
  2. Vitamin A stabilizes the water-lipid balance and thereby stimulates deep hydration.
  3. Vitamin F helps normalize the functioning of the sebaceous glands and prevents inflammation.
  4. B vitamins delicately penetrate the skin layers, fight irritations, restoring healthy radiance and elasticity to the skin.
  5. Collagen provides skin elasticity, prevents the formation of new wrinkles and smoothes existing ones.
  6. Oleic, linoleic and other organic fatty acids tone and moisturize the skin, making it soft and surprisingly soft.

It is important to note that in cosmetology, organic cold-pressed oil of only sweet almonds and their seeds is used. Unlike its bitter relative, it does not contain toxic hydrocyanic acid. Accordingly, it is non-toxic and harmless. Therefore, be careful when choosing an oil - only cosmetic and in no case essential!

For maximum effect, it is recommended not only to use almond-based products externally, but also to regularly consume a small amount of almond seeds. According to studies conducted in the US and UK, 30 g of almonds per day is enough to protect the body from premature aging, reduce the risk of heart disease and normalize blood cholesterol levels.

Indications and contraindications

Thanks to its light texture, almond oil is suitable for any skin type. It is quickly absorbed, leaving virtually no oily layer or shine behind. That is why it can be used even for oily and combination problem skin without fear of the formation of comedones and the production of excess sebum.

Reviews

Tatyana, 28 years old It’s true that almonds help with stretch marks! My mother told me this, so it’s a proven method. I have already given birth to two and the stretch marks are barely noticeable. I make a lotion from almond and lavender oils, soak gauze in it and apply it to the stretch marks for 5-10 minutes. I can’t tell you which almonds specifically, the package just says almond oil, the price is affordable.

Yana, 22 years old I think you need a special aromatherapy lamp to appreciate the actual fragrant “part”. I tried without it, I don’t know what to do with the jar. I shouldn’t have bought it in the store, I smell it, the smell is weak, but I wanted it to be bright, like incense. I tried mixing it with grapefruit and tea tree, adding it to hand cream. I don't see any particular effect.

Irina, 36 years old I’m sharing my experience: I’ve been applying it to the roots and ends before washing my hair for 2 months now, the condition of my hair has really improved, I managed to smooth it out, make it lighter, shiny and thick. True, I don’t have an essential oil, but a special one for hair, which also contains coconut, sesame and others, but I think pure oil will have the same effect.
