The Gains Of Using Almond Oil For Perioral Dermatitis

By Marjorie Greene


Perioral dermatitis is a condition in which the skin develops tiny bumps around the mouth. It's unknown what causes it but there are some treatments. The use of almond oil for perioral dermatitis seems to yield good results.

It can be recognized by certain symptoms. It creates a burning sensation and bumps often containing pus. It occurs usually in the mouth area but sometimes also around the nose, eyes and forehead. Usually young women suffer from it more often than other demographics.

Your doctor will be able to recognize it on sight. He may prescribe some medications including antibiotics. It takes a long time to heal and sometimes comes back, especially when steroid creams are used.

Natural products can make excellent remedies for this condition, and oils have been shown to have particular advantages. The oil taken from an almond softens and soothes the dermis. It has protective properties. It can clear the complexion, too.

It's effective because it's so similar to oil young skin produces. Rashes and irritations are often improved with its use. You shouldn't try it if you're allergic to nuts.

Linoleic acid, vitamins E and D are the ingredients that make the difference. A pure oil is best to use in most cases. Only a few drops mixed with lemon juice are effective for itching. It absorbs beautifully into the skin, unlike many products that seem to linger on the surface.

It doesn't cost the earth at all. Many models, whose beauty is how they pay the bills, swear by it. In most cases it's the expensive products that seem to win but not in this case.

It used to be an ancient Chinese remedy used for some skin conditions. Today scientific research has revealed why it's effective. Two compounds in particular exist in it that are anti-inflammatory and protect skin.

Occasionally, due to some skin problems and the use of harsh detergents, the protective layer of the dermis breaks down. This emollient assists that layer in repairing. The body seems to accept it well and it seldom creates side effects unless there's an allergy to nuts.

It can also be used as a gentle cleanser in place of soaps. It gently cleans off dirt without causing irritation and maintains the PH balance of the skin. Hopefully the benefits of a natural almond oil for perioral dermatitis will quickly resolve your problem and supply you with a calm, attractive skin.
