This year, on World Skin Health Day, the theme “No Health Without Skin Health” emphasizes the role of skin in overall wellness. Skin health now goes far beyond external skincare routines—it begins from within, with daily dietary choices. Including skin-friendly foods like California almonds, rich in vitamin E and healthy fats, support skin health and help you look and feel your best. California almonds are a powerhouse of 15 essential nutrients, many of which help with improved skin texture and tone. In addition to modern nutritional science, traditional systems such as Ayurveda, Siddha, and Unani have long recognized almonds for their skin benefits.
Moreover, regular almond consumption may help protect against UVB rays, which is highly beneficial in intense Indian summers. Vitamin E and healthy fats have shown to impart anti-aging properties and contribute to skin health. Commenting on World Skin Health Day and the importance of caring for skin, Skin Expert and Cosmetologist Dr. Geetika Mittal Gupta said, “One of my top recommendations is to include a handful of almonds as part of your daily diet—either as a snack or incorporated into meals.” Popular Bollywood actress Soha Ali Khan said, “Almonds are not only nutritious but also rich in vitamin E, which supports skin health.”
Ritika Samaddar, Regional Head of Dietetics at Max Healthcare – New Delhi, said, “Just a handful of almonds a day, along with plenty of greens, seasonal fruits, and a balanced diet, can make a real difference.” Ayurveda expert Madhumitha Krishnan said, ” A diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and nuts like almonds supports overall skin health.” Fitness Master Pilates Instructor Yasmin Karachiwala said, “Healthy skin comes down to two essentials—eating right and staying active.” Popular South Indian actor Shriya Saran said, “Almonds are my go-to snack—they’re packed with antioxidants, fiber, and protein that help me stay full, energized, and support overall skin health.”
