The cold season can prove to be very harmful to the skin. The cold winds blowing in this season take away the moisture from the skin, due to which it look dry, flaky and lifeless. In such a situation, we use oils to give extra moisture and nourishment to our skin. Both almond oil and olive oil are considered very beneficial for the skin, which also nourishes it.

However, both oils work differently on the skin. While almond oil is quite light and hydrates the skin without making it feel heavy. On the other hand, olive oil is a little richer which is perfect for maintaining skin moisture and dealing with those extremely dry patches in winter.
