It is a perfect oil for facial massage, especially when combined with the appropriate essential oils, as it spreads evenly and gently over the skin. Due to its oleic acid content, it is well absorbed and doesnt leave an oily residue on the skin. Use either instead of, or in combination with other carrier oils.
