Almond Oil has been used for centuries as it has so many benefits especially for skin. There are two types of Almond oil; Sweet & Bitter Almond oil but Sweet Almond Oil suits skin better. Some articles that I read also mentioned that "Sweet Almond Oil is skin bestfriend" due to its benefits. Do you want a new best friend? 😂

Experiences #zyathoughts
It took me a lil bit longer to come out with a thought for this oil. I haven't tried any brand of single ingredient for this oil before but I did cleansing oil that uses almond oil in the ingredients.
In the previous article, I already shared on how to use face oils and my experiences on using it in different ways. I also tried various ways with this Sweet Almond Oil.
At first, I tried using it after moisturizer. I did experience a negative impression at first, there are a lot of whitehead acne on my chin area. Then, I rest for a while *that's why I take longer time for this review*. After the acnes soothe down, I tried to mix the oil with moisturizer. Luckily, it suited my skin and I continued using it in a longer time. Good thing that I realized when I used this is my acne healed faster even though I skipped my soothing serum.
At last, I am still thinking why my skin can't use this oil alone without mixing it with moisturizer. So, I tried to use it alone without mixing it with moisturizer and I ended up with getting a new acne 😅
Sometimes what works on me might not work on you. Overall, it's such a great up and down experience with this Sweet Almond Oil.
