Facial Moisturizer:

Body Oil:
Massage the oil directly onto the body after a shower or bath to lock in moisture and leave your skin silky smooth. Use it on rough patches like elbows, knees, and heels for extra hydration.

Hair Care:
Warm a small amount of oil between your palms and smooth it onto dry or frizzy hair to enhance shine and softness. Alternatively, use it as a pre-shampoo treatment by massaging it into your scalp and hair for 30 minutes before washing.

Soothing Skin Conditions:
Apply directly to areas affected by eczema, psoriasis, or dermatitis to reduce dryness, soothe irritation, and soften flaky patches.

Acne Treatment:
Dab a small amount onto acne-prone areas to calm inflammation, reduce redness, and promote healing, thanks to its anti-inflammatory properties.

DIY Skincare Formulas:
Mix apricot kernel oil into your favorite creams, lotions, balms, or ointments for an added boost of hydration and skin-softening benefits.

Tanning Oil:
Use as a natural tanning oil to enhance your glow while moisturizing the skin. Always pair with appropriate sun protection.

Night Serum for Tired or Mature Skin:
Combine apricot kernel oil with a few drops of essential oils like rose or lavender for an overnight treatment that revitalizes and nourishes the skin while you sleep.

Massage Oil:
Use as a standalone massage oil or blend with other carrier oils for a relaxing, deeply penetrating massage experience.

Lip Care:
Apply a drop to dry, chapped lips for instant hydration and protection from harsh weather.
