is recognized for its benefits on the skin of our face. But what are they
exactly? Emelie Tanghe, training manager and consultant in aromatic and
medicinal plants at Ladrôme Laboratoire tells us more.
THE BENEFITS OF APRICOT VEGETABLE OIL FOR THE SKIN
Rich in carotenoids, vitamin A and omega 6 and 9,
"apricot kernel oil is the ultimate" healthy glow "elixir,"
explains the expert. Indeed, it has illuminating virtues that bring a real
boost to the skin. Thus, dull complexions are revived, tired skins are toned

WHAT IS A GOOD APRICOT OIL ROUTINE?
Apricot oil - which is suitable for all skin types (except
oily and blemish-prone skin due to its comedonegeity) - can be used daily on
the face and décolleté. Moreover, the expert advises us a DIY recipe: “to wake
up the skin and illuminate the complexion, apricot vegetable oil is ideal when
combined with lime blossom water. To do this, you first need to spray the
floral water.on the face, then massage with a few drops of oil on a still wet
face to form a two-phase emulsion (semi-aqueous, semi-oily) which moisturizes
and nourishes the skin like a natural treatment that can easily replace the
traditional day cream ”. In addition, "for mature skin, it combines
perfectly with precious oils such as prickly pear or rosehip oil known for
their anti-aging properties" adds the expert. And to continue: "for
fragile skin, the oily calendula macerate turns out to be an excellent
partner".
Finally, it can be used in massage oil or in local
application on the body. And if its oily texture is inconvenient, it can be
improved by mixing it with other oils like macadamia oil or hazelnut oil . Make
way for the tests!
