Our favorite skin, hair and makeup picks.
There are many oils that cater to both dry skin and dehydrated hair. But, if there's one that really gets the job done, it's sweet almond oil, which not only hydrates, but acts as a shield. "Sweet almond oil is rich in vitamin E, monounsaturated fatty acids, proteins, potassium and zinc, as well as several other vitamins and minerals,” says Dr. Hadley King, a dermatologist in New York City. "The fatty acids do a great job of moisturizing, and vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant to help protect the skin from free radical damage from UV rays and pollution."
What's even better about this nutty oil is that it transcends skin and hair types. "It is mild and hypoallergenic, so it's safe to use directly, even on sensitive skin," explains Dr. King. Although it's an oil, the ingredient can also be beneficial for those prone to pesky breakouts. "It's a non-pore-clogging oil, making it an excellent choice for face care," notes Debbi Burnes, CEO and co-founder of the natural body-care brand, Sumbody.
So, it's safe to say that sweet almond oil can literally cover you from head to toe. Fulfill that destiny by shopping 13 amazing products — including skin, hair and makeup picks — that will keep you looking radiant year-round.
L'Occitane Cleansing and Softening Shower Oil With Almond Oil, $25, available here. "This rich oil can be used in the shower to remove dirt and hydrate the skin at the same time," says dermatologist Dr. Joshua Zeichner. It doesn't hurt that it makes your shower smell absolutely delightful.
