Apricot Oil is high in unsaturated fatty acids, Vitamin A and Vitamin E, and is an absolute skin-saving miracle. As it is a light and dry oil which immediately sinks into your skin, it can be used as a non-greasy moisturiser that can be applied to your face as well as anywhere else you please!
The dryness of Apricot Oil also makes it great for firming and toning and can be used simply on its own to gently remove eye makeup. Apricot Oil also has amazing anti-ageing benefits and can help with the reduction of dark circles, so no need for balancing those cucumbers slices on your eyes ever again!
