Almond Oil Skin Benefits
Routine and FAQs
Almond Oil works as both a moisturiser and an emollient.
Almonds are rich in Vitamin E, a powerful antioxidant that plays an important role in keeping skin looking youthful as we age.
The amino Acids contained in Vitamin E can help to support Collagen production, contributing to long-term smoothness and overall skin health.
Almond Oil is therefore very good for dry skin and sensitive skin types.
Almond Oil may help to reduce signs of aging and support the restoration and strengthening of the skin barrier. Rich in antioxidants such as Vitamin E, Almond Oil could help to fight free radicals and may promote a youthful, vibrant look to your skin. Almond Oil could also support Collagen production and elasticity, which are key elements in wrinkle prevention. Together, these qualities make Almond Oil a great natural option for people who want to keep their skin in good condition as they age.
Skin healing and repair:
When applied externally, Almond Oil has the potential to calm and soothe irritated skin, reduce Redness and swelling, and support the healing process. When ingested, Almond Oil has the capacity to help reduce inflammation throughout the body, including in the joints and digestive system.
The Vitamin A and Vitamin E in Almond Oil act like protectors for your skin. They work together to help repair sun damaged skin, support your skin against impurities and help it look young and healthy. Almond Oil also contains Linoleic Acid, which supports your skin barrier and helps it retain moisture. So if your skin feels dry from the sun, Almond Oil is a good choice to help improve it.
Skin tone and complexion improvement:
If you are looking for a natural way to make your skin look better and feel smoother, Almond Oil is a strong option. Thanks to its Vitamin E content, it can help improve uneven skin tone and complexion and smooth blemishes. It can make wrinkles and fine lines appear less noticeable and give your skin a brighter look.
Choosing the right
Almond Oil:
There are two main types of Almond Oil: sweet and bitter.
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 groups, Retinoid and Retinol. This helps to support cell regeneration and provides antioxidants that help Protect against damage, including that caused by UV rays.
Sweet Almond Oil comes in two forms: refined and unrefined, often called “cold-pressed.” This describes how the oil is extracted from almonds and prepared for use. Cold-pressed Almond Oil, which is obtained without high heat or chemical solvents, is considered especially beneficial because this process helps preserve the essential nutrients in the oil.
Almond Oil can be used throughout your whole skincare routine and is suitable for all skin types.
Step 1: Cleanse
You should always start your skincare routine with a Cleanse. Cleansing removes debris and pollutants that may have built up on your skin throughout the day or night, preparing it to absorb the caring ingredients in your products.
The NIVEA Nourishing Micellar Water is designed for dry skin and made with a formula containing amino Acids and Almond Oil to help Cleanse, soothe and Moisturize the skin. This product is fragrance-free, dermatologically and ophthalmologically approved, so it can be used on the face, eyes and lips.
Serums can help target specific skin concerns such as wrinkles, dry skin or even a pimple. Their fast absorption and deep penetration may help you achieve more visible results in a shorter time.
NIVEA offers a range of Serums to care for different needs such as anti aging skin care, dark spots and dry skin, thanks to formulas including hyaluronic acid, vitamin c, Luminous630 and Q10.
Step 3: Moisturise
Moisturising your face has benefits you shouldn’t ignore, such as helping to prevent dryness, slowing visible signs of aging and soothing sensitive skin. NIVEA Nourishing Day Cream is designed for dry to sensitive skin, with a formula containing Almond Oil that provides 24-hour moisture and helps protect from external stressors.
For evening routines, the NIVEA Nourishing Night Cream is also infused with Almond Oil and pro-vitamin B5. This night cream is intensively moisturising, Nourishing and soothing the skin on your face while you sleep.
Step 4: Apply SPF
Always make sure to apply SPF at the end of your daytime skincare routine. Many products you use on your skin do not Protect against sun damaged skin, and using sun cream will help avoid sunburn from UV rays.
Just like the skin on your face, the skin on your body can also benefit from Almond Oil, and it can be included in shower gels and creams.
NIVEA offers products infused with Almond Oil such as NIVEA Cream Soft Shower Gel. Suitable for daily use, it is pH skin neutral and helps to prevent dryness, leaving skin feeling soft and supple.
After showering, use 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 body lotion can be used daily and leaves your skin feeling smooth and soft, supporting a healthy-looking complexion.
Precaution:
Almond Oil is generally regarded as safe for skin care. However, it is still important to keep some safety measures in mind. Always follow the instructions on the packaging and speak to a dermatologist if you have any concerns.
