• It isn't hard to figure out why almonds are good for you. They contain vitamins A, B and E, all of which are essential to keep the immune system and body processes running smoothly. Almonds aren't just good for internal health, though. Oil extracted from almonds has external benefits as well, contributing to external beauty with its strengthening and moisturizing properties.
  
  

Dry Skin

• Almond oil is included in many popular anti-aging creams and other beauty products because of its moisturizing capabilities. Its high levels of vitamins A and E promote moist skin, and can also help to cleanse pores. Clean pores mean fewer blemishes, blackheads and pimples to combat with. Almond oil also helps to encourage skin cells to renew, eliminating dead skin cells from the surface and leaving behind a clean, fresh look.
  
  Another benefit of using almond oil on the skin, as opposed to other oils, is that it really doesn't feel oily. While some beauty products or essential oils can leave your skin feeling greasy or oil, almond oil absorbs quickly into your skin, leaving a moisturized, smooth texture behind.
  
  

Hair

• Much as almond oil can moisturize dry skin, it can revitalize dry or damaged hair. Look for shampoo and conditioner products that contain almond oil, or use pure almond oil in conjunction with your usual grooming products. Apply almond oil to the hair and let it sit for 15 to 20 minutes, then rinse it out and wash your hair as normal. After a few applications, you will see shine and moisture restored to your hair.
  
  

Massage Oil

• Looking beautiful is one thing, but feeling relaxed and beautiful as well adds a whole new dimension to your style. Almond oil makes an excellent massage oil. It helps to soothe and relive muscle pain. Almond oil is also used in aromatherapy to promote relaxation and treat headache pain.
  
  Other than treating pain, rubbing almond oil into your skin as a massage will also add a brighter sheen and glow to the complexion of your skin. Because it is such a great lubricant, it can also reduce the symptoms and appearance of red, itchy areas caused by irritation or rash.
  
  

Other Benefits

• When mixed with other beauty products, such as coconut and olive oils, honey and apple cider vinegar, almond oil can help to reduce hair loss, get rid of dandruff and heal dry or chapped lips.
