Almonds ARE good for acne.

When compared to other nuts such as walnuts and peanuts, almonds have a bit more vitamin E and considerably more magnesium. Since there is scientific evidence that acne patients have lower blood levels of vitamin E as well as other antioxidants, the logical assumption would be that remedying these imbalances would help.

Twelve-Week Study

Sure enough, one study conducted over three months found that vitamin E dramatically reduced the patient group's acne and improved their complexion. By absorbing some of the human body's more unstable molecules, vitamin E can reduce the kind of base level of inflammation that plays a part in the spread of acne.

But almonds are of course just one source of vitamin E. For those allergic to nuts, other foods to consider include leafy vegetables, eggs, many meats, and oil-based forms of the vitamin or some sort of related supplement.

Almond Milk

One of the easiest ways to incorporate almonds into a daily diet is by replacing regular milk with almond milk. Even if this is done only for morning coffee and cereal, it can help mitigate acne symptoms.

It's also not so much what almond milk does on its own as much as how it helps eradicate one of the biggest acne causes. A study showed that boys who drank two cups of milk or more per day were more susceptible to the skin condition. Even just one cup of milk a day can cause acne breakouts.

Unlike regular milk, almond milk does not contain insulin growth factor-1 and alpha reduced sex hormones, used to foster development of young cows. Hormone-free milk or almond milk over a tww-month period can be tried to see if the results on acne are beneficial. Combined with the management of other factors such as stress, too much exposure to the sun, and a reduction of carbohydrates, almond milk can indeed be good for acne.
