ALMOND OIL FOR SKIN
Sweet almond oil is a real cure for skin care and its benefits are countless:
Hydrates and nourishes the skin: its toning and moisturizing properties strengthen the skin's elasticity and protect it from the negative effects caused by atmospheric agents. To get the maximum effect it is useful to spread the oil after having showered on the whole body while it is still wet, until it is completely absorbed. Used for a dry skin massage, sweet almond oil also helps dissolve muscle tension and promote relaxation, especially by mixing 10 ml with a drop of bergamot essential oil.

It is advisable to apply it to damp skin in the areas of interest at least once a day starting from the third month of gestation until the end of breastfeeding; in the case of a slimming diet, instead, for its entire duration.
