How sweet almond oil can improve your skin

Sweet almond oil is one of our favourite natural ingredients. It’s an incredible product of nature that not only smells great and tastes good but also is an incredible skincare ingredient.

Almond oil takes the mighty, nutrition-rich almonds and transforms it into a powerful oil with incredible benefits.

According to Dr Axe, though there are two main kinds of almonds that create almond oil, the one used for most homeopathic and cosmetic purposes is sweet almond oil. Don’t let the name fool you, though: Sweet almond oil is a dynamic substance that’s anything but sweet. In fact, it helps address bad cholesterol, dry skin and cardiovascular disease — which is, of course, really great news!

Almond oil presents not only a variety of benefits, but also some fascinating history and unconventional uses. For example, did you know that it has been presented as an alternative, renewable biofuel source? Or that your pets can benefit from almond oil, too? It’s even been shown to prevent diabetes and cancer, in addition to its skin care support!

One of our favourite products that contains sweet almond oil comes from the brilliant Gatineau. Gatineau Melatogenine Refreshing Cleansing Cream is a triple action anti-ageing formula designed to cleanse, tone and micro-exfoliate the skin. This powerful water-soluble creamy cleanser removes all traces of make-up and impurities whilst dissolving all toxins that cling to the inside of the pores. Enriched with our exclusive youth activating molecule Mélatogénine™, together with Sweet Almond Oil, the skin is left perfectly clean and nourished.

Make-up and impurities are removed, the signs of ageing are reduced and skin is left clean and fresh.

Use morning and evening. Lather in your hands and apply to a damp face and neck, avoiding the eye area. Use light circular motions to gently massage over the skin. Rinse using cool water in the morning and warm water in the evening. Best used with our Deep Cleansing Brush.
