Egypt: Almonds for Soft Skin

Exfoliate away rough patches with the Egyptian secret to soft skin: almonds. Almonds are a natural antioxidant and almond oil is one of the most rapidly absorbed oils. In a food processor, grind together almonds and milk until it forms a paste. Rub it on your body to slough off dead skin and wash it off for incredible looking skin.
