Ingredients:

If the batter sticks to the sides of the blender, turn off the blender and clean it. If you don't have a blender you can also use a pestle and mortal.
2. Grind until it becomes a creamy paste.
3. Add some oil, If the batter forms a hard ball, add in more oil. One spoonful will be enough. Make sure it is olive oil, if it's extra-virgin all the better! Keep on blending until they stick.
4. Once the batter and the oil have mixed, store the mixture in a container in a dry place for 2 weeks.
5. After this time, when the oil has separated from the cream, you should sieve the oil to make sure there are no loose parts of almond in the mix.
Note: Only keep the oil that is on top. Now you can use your almond oil for your beauty routine!
