Healthier Skin
Research shows that regular dairy intake appears to be associated with acne. Regardless, dairy milk intake and acne are not that well understood, and research is sometimes conflicting.
If you’re concerned about acne, almond milk can offer an alternative that will help clear your skin. That’s because wide varieties of this milk are amazing sources of vitamin E.
Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant that can help clear cell-damaging free radicals in the body, which may damage your skin.
Free radicals are unavoidable molecules resulting from normal processes in your body and your environment, such as cigarette smoke and any other air pollutants.
A study was made where 36 females ages 35 years old and over consumed a beverage containing vitamins and collagen, including 2.3mg of vitamin E, for 12 weeks.
Results showed improved skin hydration, elasticity, and density compared with those who did not consume the drink. These results suggest that vitamin E plays a significant role in skin health.
Unfortunately, the effects can’t be attributed to vitamin E alone. So, consuming a healthful, balanced diet that has vitamin E can help promote healthier skin.

Been using almond milk for several years. Really love it in my morning coffee.
I like almond milk in my coffee, but I cannot do unsweetened. I switched from coffee, mate to silk, almond milk, crème brûlée or vanilla. This is great and much better and lower in calories than what I was previously using. But unsweetened I tried, and cannot do in my coffee.
My son was put on a Low Carb diet to help with seizure control by his neurologist he recommended Unsweetened almond milk because it was low in carbs. Just so happened that I had been having digestion problems, my gastroenterologist told me that as we age we loose the ability to breakdown milk proteins so he suggested that I try Soy milk. I tried for a year but the matter only got worse! So I switched to Almond milk along with my son, and have had no problems.
Dairy is a mucus producing item. If one had sinus problems, almond milk WILL be your friend.
