He would have been saved from the Flood by Noah. Alexander the Great introduced it to the West. Its name comes from the Arabic al-barquq, stolen from the Latin praecoquum, “precocious”. Prunus armeniaca, aka apricot, is not only a delicious fruit, but also an inexpensive cosmetic all on its own.
For cosmetic care, both for the hair and to take care of the epidermis, everything is good in the Prunus armeniaca, otherwise known asapricot. Whether it is its skin, its flesh, its pit, all that constitutes this fruit, which Noah would have saved from the Flood, and which Alexander the Great introduced into the West, is a natural source of benefits. From the crushed kernel, an excellent exfoliating powder is obtained to be incorporated into a cream or a paste at a level of 1% to 5%. Among the many recipes for exfoliating and nourishing masks, we can mention this one:
In a bowl, pour a tbsp. coffee jojoba vegetable oil (suitable for all skin types to nourish, firm and moisturize), 1 tbsp. coffee of white clay (idem, it is suitable for dry skin that it purifies, and it hydrates and regulates the sebum of combination or oily skin). Mix until you obtain a homogeneous preparation. Stir in a quarter of a tsp. apricot kernel powder. It’s ready. Massage in small circular movements, leave on for fifteen minutes. Rinse.
Your skin is hydrated, cleansed, purified of its dead skin. Some recommend it once a week for combination to oily skin, and once every two weeks for dry skin.

We obviously get a well-known oil from the apricot, rich in trace elements, vitamins A and E, essential fatty acids (omega 3, 6 and 9). For skin care, oleic acid contributes to the smooth appearance of the epidermis. I’linolenic acid as for him reinforces the cutaneous barrier. THE vitamins A and E contribute to the radiance of the epidermis but it is especially on the antioxidant properties of provitamin A, phytosterols, and quercetol oil that we are going to lean on. On the epidermis, its action against free radicals resulting from cellular oxidation is known to slow down its aging.
Its flesh is also prized for making cleansing masks. and achieve nourished, hydrated and luminous skin. What could be simpler ? Hard to say, because it only takes two apricots pitted and well crushed in a bowl, a tsp. vegetable oil – apricot for example, or jojoba there again –, an application for fifteen minutes so that the trick is played (don’t forget the rinsing). Such low-cost and disconcertingly easy-to-manufacture applications combine in the plural. And as far as oil is concerned, brands that are particularly concerned about the quality of their products, such as Centifolia or Melvita which are celebrating their 40th anniversary this year, offer an oil of excellent quality.
