DOUBLE DUTY BEAUTY!!!

GO NUTTY FOR ALMONDS!!




EAT THEM!
Natural, unsalted almonds are a tasty and nutritious snack with plenty of health benefits. Loaded with minerals, they are among the healthiest of tree nuts; just a handful of nutrient-rich almonds a day promotes heart health and as filling source of protein can be a perfect energy boosting snack and help prevent weight gain; they may even help fight against diseases like diabetes and Alzheimer's. And not only that... there is research to suggest that these little bad boys could help in your battle against the grey! Almonds contain high levels of catalase, an enzyme that may help slow the greying process by preventing a build up of hydrogen peroxide in follicles that can cause hair to turn grey...

APPLY THEM!
You'll go nuts for this easy and super effective homemade exfoliating body scrub: Grind 1/4 cup almonds in a food processor until fine, then mix in 2 tablespoons of coconut oil to make a paste. In the shower, rub the skin-softening mixture over rough areas, such as knees, elbows and feet then rinse with water. For any of you lucky folk venturing to sunnier climes this autumn this is a sure-fire to get those troublesome dry areas beach babe ready!!
