Tips
- Almond oil is one of the least greasy oils. It will soak into your skin quickly and leave only a slight residue, so small dabs are enough to cover the whole face. If your face feels as if it is swimming in oil, you have used too much.
Warnings
- Do not use nut oils if you have a nut allergy. There is no point in giving yourself unnecessary complications.
- Always test sensitivity to an oil before use. Apply a small dab on your wrist or lower arm and watch for any reactions over a 24 hour period.
