I'm currently using Almond oil as my lotion. Did anybody find Avacado oil better than almond oil???

I haven't tried Almond oil yet, but I must say that Avocado oil is VERY moisturizing!

I'm getting ready to order the avocado oil to alternate with NOW jojoba oil... LOVE the jojoba! Almond oil seems lighter to me and does not penetrate and moisturize for an extended period of time. I think trying avocado and jojoba will allow you to determine which works best for what... Enjoy!!

If added to a carrier oil, yes. I use olive. Some people might have a reaction, so be sure to test a small amount on your skin first.

I recently attended a Young Living party and the sales lady recommended SWEET ALMOND OIL. I mix my oils with my facial moisturizer, which she also recommended and it works great.

I make amazing mayonnaise with avocado oil. The only healthy oil for mayonnaise making that doesn't adversely affect the flavor. Highly recommend it.

I suppose it does look and feel greasy on its own, but i like to make a combination of shea butter coconut oil avocado oil and just wipe it all together!

I use coconut oil daily as a body moisturizer and it is the best thing I ever use on my body. My skin is soft, healthy and has this beautiful glow. I use it every day on my face as well ...It looks like it smooth wrinkles a bit, but I must admit I also have few breakouts on my face. I use it for a 2 months already and I don't mind minor breakouts if my wrinkles are improved :). Also I used it for hair and sun protection, for oil pulling and I am cooking with it. Best discovery for me this year :) I feel my energy levels improved and my digestions is never better!

Avocado oil can be applied on the skin, hair, fingernails and face....just keep away from eyes.I use mixture of Avocado, Coconut, Almond, Castor oil in a bottle as a mixture...use these all as well....with a only a "drop" of each in my shampoos, lotions, bottle body washes.....only takes a small amount and your skin is healthier and glows and all these make you hair grow faster.....apply to the roots....old fashioned tip... I have used forever.....Good Luck Mindy

ok- having done some research, on the bottle it states that it is from biodynamically grown almonds and cold-pressed, which in my research means "virgin" but in reading the bottle and looking up the terms it appears that the oil is much purer and cleaner than if it were just "virgin"! the oil is exceptionally high quality and is my favorite of all the sweet almond oils i have tried. bottom line: it is clean, pure, impeccably grown and processed, bottled on glass, and really high quality. enough said.

Water kis best. tepid, essentially body temp, but lotion is more soothing, however, additives in lotions can cause irritation or 'burning' feel. Most low key, no additive lotion is best.... alloe, gentile oil, low viscosity, even cocoa butter is good. avoid prepared concoctions with alot of chemicals.... cause further irritations. Whatever is most natural, with lots of ingeredients is best to try. Sometimes its individual. Cocoa butter, alloe, even olive oil, all nat is better than chemicals. right?

There are a variety of carrier oils that can be used. Fractionated coconut oil and almond oil are common but some use grapeseed oil or apricot kernel or evening primrose oils too. I like the coconut oil because it absorbs quickly without leaving a greasy feeling but I also use others too. For my face I use argan oil with some essential oils to help with balancing skin and reducing wrinkles.

First Aquifor has petroleum. Not a product I want to use. Eucerin especially this type in the fat tub is fantastic. I love it. This Eucerin is so luxurious and so softening. I use it all over my entire body. It's great for winter dry skin and just everyday. I would recommend that you purchase this moisturizer. Merry Christmas!

The brand of horticultural oil that I use is Bonide. They generally have the safest or most organic products.

Mine doesn't really have much of a scent, or taste either. It better be Almond Oil... because that's what I paid for. I'd send an inquiry to Essential Depot if you are still unconvinced.

Yes, I do find a difference using the olive oil particularly during the winter months as it does help in retaining moisture for all over skin. I've not used it over a summer as this is the first summer to try it.

Most people will say another carrier oil. something mild not to overpower this oil? I can't say for sure which one would be best? and by what proportion I don't know since I don't dilute my essential oils. but try almond oil, or grape seed oil and mix small batch to get the desired result for what you seek?

No, better to use Avacado oil.I recently learned that heating olive oil changes it and makes it a carcinigen
