let me tell you about the oil i've been using for over ten years - Sweet Almond Oil.
| Tisserand | Sweet almond | 100ml | £5 | Amazon |*
the sales pitch:
highly moisturising and nourishing this oil is packed full of oleic acid (an omega-9 fatty acid), linoleic acid (an omega-6 fatty acid) and vitamin e.
These combined are able to tackle inflammation, reduce breakouts, act as an anti-oxidant and provide moisturising effects.
it is used regularly as a carrier oil due to being able to 'play well' with other products.
the why::
oils on the skin are one of my favourite delivery methods.
I like sweet almond oil for its ability to help my skin retain moisture and deal with any irritation in a gentle way.
the how::
there are so many methods of application for this oil.
I use it for a couple but a quick google informed me I'm not really scratching the surface:
