Here’s a selection of homemade skin care products based on sweet almond oil.

Why use sweet almond oil for skin care?

Sweet almond oil has been used since ancient Greek times for skin and hair care.

Thanks to its high vitamin A content, which stimulates collagen production, this oil not only preserves the skin’s natural suppleness, but also improves its elasticity. It also contains vitamin E, which is a natural antioxidant, protecting the skin from the natural aging process by helping cells to regenerate.

It also contains omegas 6 and 9, which nourish, moisturize and restore the skin’s hydrolipidic film. Thanks to these components, the skin is well hydrated and nourished, and the hydrolipidic film is perfectly preserved.

In general, sweet almond oil is suitable for all skin types, although it is most effective on dry, sensitive skin prone to irritation. It is especially recommended for soothing stretch marks, scars, cracks, chapped skin, etc. By using a quality oil like Tsara Sweet Almond Oil, you can effectively and naturally care for your skin.
