ALMOND OIL SKIN BENEFITS, ROUTINE AND FAQS
WHAT IS ALMOND OIL FOR THE SKIN?
WHAT IS IN ALMOND OIL?
Vitamin A: could be beneficial for skin subject to breakouts and pimples
Vitamin B-7: could help to maintain hair and nail strength
Zinc: may help to reduce breakouts, pimples and other skin blemishes
Almonds are rich in Vitamin E, a potent antioxidant that plays a vital role in preserving youthful skin as we grow older.
The Amino Acids contained in Vitamin E can help to enhance Collagen production, resulting in long-term evenness and overall skin health.
Almond Oil is therefore very good for dry and sensitive skin types.
When used externally, Almond Oil has the potential to alleviate and pacify irritated skin, diminish redness and swelling, and expedite the healing process. When ingested, Almond Oil has the capacity to reduce inflammation throughout the entire body, encompassing the joints and digestive system.
The Vitamin A and E contained in Almond Oil are like protectors for your skin. They team up to fix sun damage, help your skin against impurities and make it appear young and healthy. Almond Oil also contains Linoleic Acid which protects your skin’s barrier and helps retain moisture. So, if your skin is dry from the sun, Almond Oil is a great choice to make it better.
ALMOND OIL
Application: Include it in your routine by cleansing, using a serum, moisturising, and adding SPF, always with proper caution and guidance.
Contains: Nutrients such as Vitamin E, Vitamin A, Vitamin B-7 and Zinc, to protect and hydrate the skin.
Features: Packed with vitamins and antioxidants, Almond Oil could help to rejuvenate the skin, making it a valuable addition to your routine. Almond Oil is found in a number of NIVEA products to nourish the skin.
Bitter Almond Oil should not be consumed or applied to the skin, whereas Sweet Almond Oil is a safer choice with skin-friendly properties, containing beneficial nutrients.
The Vitamin A found in Almond Oil comes from two sources, a group called Retinoid, and another group called Retinol. This helps to stimulate cell regeneration and antioxidants to shield against damage, including that induced by UV radiation.
Sweet Almond Oil comes in two forms: refined and unrefined, often referred to as "cold-pressed." This distinction relates to how the oil is obtained from Almonds and prepared for use. Cold-pressed Almond Oil, which involves extraction without high heat or chemical solvents, is considered particularly advantageous because this process helps preserve the essential nutrients in the oil.
Almond Oil can be used throughout the whole skincare routine process and is suitable for all skin types.
You should always start your skincare routine by cleansing. Cleansing clears the skin of debris and pollutants that might have stuck to your skin throughout the day or night, preparing it to absorb the nourishing ingredients in your care products.
The NIVEA Nourishing Micellar Water is designed for dry skin and made from a formula with Amino Acids and Almond Oil to help cleanse, soothe and moisturise the skin. This product is fragrance-free, dermatologically and ophthalmologically tested, so it can be used on the face, eyes and lips.
NIVEA offers a range of serums to address a variety of concerns such as anti-aging, dark spots and dry skin, thanks to formulas including Hyaluronic Acid, Vitamin C, Luminous630 and Q10.
Moisturising your face has benefits that you can’t ignore, such as preventing dryness, slowing signs of ageing and soothing sensitive skin. NIVEA Nourishing Day Cream is designed for dry to sensitive skin thanks to its formula with Almond Oil providing 24-hour moisture and protection from external stressors.
For evening routines the NIVEA Nourishing Night Cream is also infused with Almond Oil, and Pro Vitamin B5. This product is intensively moisturising, nourishing and soothing the skin of your face at night.
Make sure to always apply SPF when ending your day’s skincare routine. Certain types of products that you apply on your skin won’t protect you from sun damage, and applying sunscreen will help to avoid getting your skin burned from UV rays.
Just as your face, your body skin will benefit from Almond Oil, and it can be used in shower gels and creams.
NIVEA offers products infused with Almond Oil such as the NIVEA Creme Soft Shower Gel, suitable for daily use, it is pH Skin neutral and helps to prevent dryness, leaving skin feeling soft and supple.
Post shower, use the NIVEA Rich Body Lotion, infused with Almond Oil and pure Vitamin E to soothe dry to very dry skin and hydrate for up to 48 hours. This product can be used daily, and leaves your skin with a smooth and soft feel, promoting a healthy looking complexion.
Precaution:
Almond Oil is typically regarded as a safe option for skin care. Nevertheless, it's essential to be mindful of certain safety measures. Follow the instructions on the packaging and consult a dermatologist if you face any concerns.
Almond oil can be applied as a scalp treatment which effectively rebalances the yeast responsible for dandruff. Its excellent absorption into the skin allows it to nourish the scalp and purify the hair follicles.
Additionally, Almond Oil may work wonders in taming frizz and rejuvenating damaged hair.
