As someone who was using quite a lot of almond oil I'd like to throw in my two cents by saying it's probably not the best oil for moisturisation. It's great for trapping moisture, say if you just came out of a shower or bath, but it's not great on it's own. It's more like a layer that will keep what's there so it can be absorbed, but it won't give a great deal.
Coconut is great (but careful where you apply due to acne- yes it may be antibacterial but believe me it is quite capable of clogging pores!) but I had a lot of success with olive oil. I took olive oils showers where I rubbed myself in olive oil, let it absorb a few minutes and then washed off with warm water (not too hot!). For my face I used pure olive oil soap. However, this is a really messy and fairly uncomfortable process to go through. I'd reccommend camellia oil (this is what the geishas used to rub their faces in to remove and disolve makeup), and having googled it I just found someone made a breast tight cream from it too ! Two birds with one stone.
