Who Knew Oil Was So Good For Our Skin?

I have spent thousands of dollars in search of something that would make my extremely dry skin feel soft and smooth. I have tried Arbonne, Lancome, Avon, Mary Kay, Olay, L’Oreal, Eucerin, baby oil/gel, Vaseline, Kiehl’s, Burt’s Bee’s, SkinCeutical and that the list could go on.

I have even gotten prescriptions from my dermatologist and paid full price for creams that my insurance refused. Nothing helped on a long-term basis. I could put on creams and my skin would soak them up.

Then, after fifty eight years of being a marketer’s dream, I finally had a thought.Recently I had gotten a stone massage which is another article in itself, and the almond oil they used stayed and felt great for several days afterwards. So I wondered about olive oil? If it is good for the inside, why not the outside?

You can find some really great almond oil products at Crabtree & Evelyn. it may seem pricey, but a little goes a long way. I combined the almond and olive oil in equal parts. In the shower I now have a spray bottle filled and ready to go. I have also read where coconut oil is used in some creams. So guess what is on my shopping list?
