Almonds: the natural anti-wrinkle recommended by a dermatologist
In a video posted on social networks, dermatologist Neera Nathan, American specialist in aesthetic dermatology and laser medicine, revealed the importance for your skin of eating almonds regularly. “I tell my patients that eating three handfuls of almonds a day is a natural way to treat wrinkles“, explains the dermatology expert.

The dermatologist supports her statement: “a 24-week clinical study showed that women who consumed about 400 calories of almonds per day (about three handfuls) had a significant reduction in facial lines and wrinkles and hyperpigmentation“, she explains.
The cited study was published in the scientific journal MDPI Journals in 2021. To measure the impact of almonds on skin aging, scientists from the University of California at Davis (United States) analyzed the epidermis (wrinkle depth and pigmentation) of 56 women for two years postmenopausal women aged 47 to 84 with phototype 1 or 2 skin (which corresponds to fairly light skin tones). As a result, the average depth of wrinkles was significantly reduced in almond consumers (around 16% less after 24 weeks). Same observation on the pigmentation of the skin which has decreased by 20%. Thus, these results highlighted the positive effects of daily almond consumption on photoaging, in particular on the attenuation of facial wrinkles and the reduction of skin pigmentation.
