Almond Oil for Skin Care

As time goes by, I'm getting hippier and hippier... I've started eating tofu, drinking rice milk, composting, and now this. Soon enough I'll be living in Topanga Canyon with the best of them. The newest development in my hippieism is that I've started using oils that you may have in your kitchen in leau of skin care products. Hear me out.

My three favorite now are almond oil, olive oil, coconut oil. You can get a great bottle for about $9, which sure, is more expensive than Suave but it does a lot more for you. And to all my Bath & Body Work's fans, don't even go there with me. Another perk is that the oil comes in a glass jar or bottle, so its better than plastic and reusable!

It might sound crazy, but the health and beauty benefits are huge, and its more cost effective to go this route. Your skin will thank you. Check back in the next week for my thoughts on olive and coconut oil.
