What does sweet almond oil do for the skin ?

Sweet almond oil is incredibly emollient, meaning that it works to help smoothen and soften skin. As a great source of magnesium, phosphorus, and copper, it can promote a skin complexion that is clear and even.

Benefits of sweet almond oil for skin

One of the major benefits of almond oil is that it can help soothe dry skin. The Vitamin E found in almond oil helps protect against transepidermal water loss. Almond oil is also highly emollient, meaning that it helps balance the absorption of moisture overall.

The fats in almond oil support the maintenance of a healthy looking skin barrier, keeping it intact and therefore able to protect against external aggressions.

 

Our skin’s barrier can be thought of as a “brick and mortar” system; the bricks are the corneocytes (the dead skin cells), and the mortar is the intercellular lipids (things such as ceramides, cholesterol, and fatty acids). The skin can quickly become dry, itchy, or irritated without these fluids. The fatty acids in almond oil work to prevent these symptoms and consequently strengthen and soothe the skin barrier.
