It retards occurrence of wrinkles as well. Oil on the same lines of sweet almonds oil is Grapes seed oil. It is also non-greasy and provides much needed minerals and vitamins for the skin.

Both are as expensive as effective they are. However, those with oily skin must not use almond oil at all. Sweet smelling Jojoba oil can be used for all skin types. It can also be used as carrier oil and some drops for aroma oil can be added to it. Holy oil is carrier oil.

For very damaged or mature skin types, apricot oil and wheat germ oil are perfect. Both can be used with appropriate carrier oil. The fatty acid contents in wheat germ and presence of linoleic and linolenic acids is simply repairs sun–damaged skin.

Other choice of massage oils are hazelnut oil and avocado oil. Olive oil can be used as a carrier oil as well.
