Here is a tasty snack whipped up with for a catered wellness event at The Bell Tower Salon and Medi-Spa. I was asked to provide some baked goods for a wellness and skin lecture. The selection needed something savory and almonds (in moderation, 10-15) are good for your skin. Cinnamon, garlic and ginger are also wonderful for healthy skin.
ALMONDS deliver a healthy dose of magnesium, a calming agent for skin and body. By reducing irritability, anxiety, and fatigue, magnesium will likely make you feel better and may even put a smile on your face.
GINGER is an anti-inflammatory that boosts circulation and encourages digestion and detoxification, all of which in turn promote healthy skin. Brew some fresh ginger root, add a splash of lemon and a bit of honey for a yummy detox!
