What are the key Apricot Kernel oil benefits?
- A high oleic acid (Omega 9) content gives Apricot Oil wonderful moisturising benefits. It can be used for dry skin areas including your face, elbows and knees, leaving your skin feeling really soft and replenished without feeling greasy. It also absorbs easily and spreads well compared with some other oils.
- A high Vitamin E and A content helps your skin with softness, suppleness and improves elasticity. These nutrients help nourish dry and damaged skin.
- Organic Apricot Kernel oil is also especially suited to dry, sensitive skin as it is a light and mild oil which is non-irritating. It acts quickly to soothe and hydrate dry skin areas with an anti-inflammatory effect. This can help dry skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis.
- This pure apricot oil nourishes your skin and provides anti aging properties. It is therefore very beneficial for mature skin. Because of the light, non- greasy texture of this oil it is suitable for using directly on your face as a face serum. Antioxidant benefits help to prevent skin damage from free radicals.
- As Apricot Kernel Oil is a 'long oil' it is also great for skin massage, reducing stress levels and helping to restore a sense of calm. A few drops go a long way and it penetrates well into the skin.
- If you suffer from dry skin after swimming, bathing or showering, Apricot oil is excellent to spray onto damp skin before drying off. This helps to hydrate your skin and seal in moisture.
- Apricot seed oil can also be used as an under eye cream. A few drops applied under the eyes helps to reduce puffiness and dark circles. When used regularly it can also reduce fine lines and wrinkles.
