Summing up

It is very important not to overdo it with frequency and duration. Although the oil does not cause allergies, if used frequently it can clog pores as it forms a film on the skin. Therefore, in its pure form it should be applied rarely and washed off well. But apricot cream is even suitable as a base for makeup.
