Precautions While Using Almond Oil

  • Always do a patch test before starting any treatment. Even something as natural as almond oil might not suit everyone, so apply it on a small area (like under the jaw) and see the results. If there are no side effects, continue usage.
  • Find out in advance if you're allergic to almonds because if you are, even external usage can cause issues.
  • Use the oil in small amounts. More oil does not mean better results. Use as directed.
  • When using around the eyes, take extreme caution.
  • Wipe off any excess oil from the face or body using a tissue or a cloth.
  • Bitter Almond Oil and Sweet Almond Oil are not the same. Don't use Bitter Almond oil on the skin. It is a whole different oil, with its own set of risks and directions, and is known to be toxic if used carelessly.
