Pure almond oil is the most popular carrier oil used for facial and body massage in aromatherapy. Its excellent emollient properties help the skin to balance its loss and absorption of moisture. Its moisturizing properties help relieve skin irritation, inflammation and itching. Almond oil is a good massage medium because it does not penetrate the skin too quickly. This makes it easier to spread the base oil/essential oil mixture evenly, and allows time for a thorough massage before it is absorbed by the skin. Almond oil also helps to relieve muscular aches and pains. It is suitable for all skin types but is especially good for dry skin.
