Benefits of Each Ingredient:
- Raw Almonds: Rich in Vitamin E, antioxidants, and natural oils, almonds help exfoliate dead skin cells, brighten the complexion, and improve skin elasticity, reducing fine lines and wrinkles.
- Milk: Contains lactic acid, which gently exfoliates the skin and promotes cell turnover. Milk also hydrates and nourishes the skin, leaving it soft and smooth.
- Aloe Vera Gel: Soothes and hydrates the skin, reducing inflammation and redness. It also promotes collagen production, helping to maintain skin firmness and elasticity.
- Vitamin E Oil: A potent antioxidant that helps to protect the skin from environmental damage, improve skin texture, and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
