There is no better way to take care of your skin than using beauty products that are not only nourishing but also entirely natural. Maintaining smooth and radiant-looking skin can be time-consuming but can be worth it once you see beautiful results. Beautiful results are attainable only if you are consistent and diligent enough in following a regular regime to improve your skin. So, make sure to follow the basics and incorporate them into your daily skincare routine to achieve optimal results.

One essential that we adore using, for smooth and supple skin, is  apricot kernel oil.

What is Apricot Kernel Oil?

Apricot kernel oil is extracted from the oil-rich kernels of apricots ( Prunus Armeniaca). Apricot is a stone fruit of the Rosaceae family that is somewhat related to peaches and plums which are nearly smooth and has a round to oblong shape.

The cold press method is used as it is the most effective way to preserve the nutrients and antioxidants in the oil. The oil has high levels of vitamin A, vitamin E, vitamin K, alpha-linoleic acid, stearic acid, and other antioxidants that work all together towards making the skin look radiant.

The oil is slightly yellow and has little to no smell. It is mild and extremely light making it ideal to be used in cosmetic applications.

In cosmetics, the enlivening properties of apricot kernel oil help to provide moisture to the skin whilst correcting dark spots. It also smooths out skin imperfections such as fine lines and wrinkles. Blemishes, acne scars, and dark circles are not a problem with apricot kernel oil as it helps to cover and lighten their visibility on the skin. Thanks to vitamin E and A, your skin is now glowing and free from the skin-damaging effects of free radicals.

The awesomeness of this incredible oil does not just stop there because not only that you get to have glowing skin but you can also ensure that the softness and suppleness of your skin will be maintained. This is because the oleic acid in apricot kernel oil functions to slow down the skin’s aging process, thus making it appear young and radiant.
