Roasted almonds blended with tropical coconuts. What do almonds do for your skin? Almonds are rich in vitamin-E, which nourishes and softens the skin when applied daily. Applying almond oil or its milk also is beneficial as it protects the skin from damage caused by sun exposure as well. Coconut oil may be linked to some potential benefits for skin, including reducing inflammation, keeping skin moisturized and helping heal wounds. The medium-chain fatty acids found in coconut oil also possess antimicrobial properties that can help treat acne and protect the skin from harmful bacteria.
