Review: Sweet Almond Oil

9/8/2012

I'm not exaggerating when I say this product changed my everyday life.  I've always been a moisturizing kind of girl, but I never really felt good about covering my skin with lotion.  I mean, the skin absorbs everything you put on it and one look at the ingredients of my lotion made me squirm. 

I was using the most natural, fragrance-free lotion I could find, but still didn't know what 95% of the components were.  Enter sweet almond oil.  The ingredient label reads "Expeller-pressed and Hexane-free. 100% Pure."  Heck, it's food grade.  Basically that means that they steam and press almonds until they turn into oil.  That's it.

The brand I like is NOW Foods, but there are others out there that work just as well.  It goes on slightly wet like an oil and then absorbs into the skin and quickly dries.  It's that simple!


**I was not compensated or asked to review this product.  These are my unsolicited opinions of a product I actually use.**
