Weak digestive system can lead to constipation, which in turn would cause pimples and acne. Eating almonds on a regular basis helps to increase the levels of gut bacteria in abdomen, these gut bacteria are responsible for a healthy digestion, thus giving clear and healthy skin. 2. A rich source of Vitamin E: Vitamin E contains Alpha-Tocopherol, which nourishes your skin and gives you a radiant glow. Almonds are a rich source of vitamin E. So, consume almonds to keep all skin ailments at bay. 3. Anti-ageing properties: Almonds have anti-ageing properties.
