Almond vs. Coconut Oil: Which Natural Oil is Right for You?
The Battle of the Natural Oils
Natural oils have been used all over the world to enhance beauty and soften skin. Almond and coconut oil are two of the most popular carrier oils. Both oils contain vitamins and minerals that soothe cracked skin and promote hair growth, but they do have some prominent differences.
Read on for a detailed explanation of the differences between almond and coconut oil and how each of them improves one’s skin, hair, and bodily health—and discover the new power players that are taking their place.
The Power of Almond Oil
Almond oil is effective as a beauty enhancer for the hair, skin and a health agent because of its unique composition of vitamins and minerals. But for specific concerns, there's often a stronger choice.
Goodbye Dark Circles
Reduces the appearance of under-eye dark circles, puffiness, and redness.
Rosehip Oil contains natural Vitamin A (Retinol) which targets dark circles 2x faster than Almond Oil.
