Fruits are super saviors of our skin. They can beat any skin problem like no one else. So if you like fruits then you can beat acne blues with these very easily. As for the others, you better develop a taste for these and eat/use them in the right way to get rid of annoying acne that settles on your beautiful face.

Below are the fruits that you should try to cure acne:

apples

An apple a day keeps the doctor away, even acne. Yes, that’s true. It is full of water and healthy nutrients to keep skin healthy inside and out. The fiber content in the fruit is quite high, which makes the intestines clean, a key aspect needed to keep the skin clean. The juice extracted from the fruit can be used as a cleanser and toner. It maintains the skin’s pH balance and can also be combined with apple cider vinegar as a topical treatment for small pimples.

bananas

Don’t go crazy with our pick of fruits against your acne battle. The fruit provides the body with water, is rich in antioxidants, vitamin C and B. The peel, which is usually considered useless, is the one to be used against annoying pimples. Simply rub the inner side of the fruit on acne-prone skin for 10 minutes. Never rinse it immediately, let it sit and wipe it off, just before you go to bed. Make it part of your daily routine, until your skin is completely clean.

berries

Bury those acne with berries. Berries are a powerhouse of nutrients, vitamin A, B12, C, E, potassium, magnesium, manganese, and fiber. All of these, in one way or another, help the skin to stay healthy. Eat it to cure acne from the inside and apply it on the skin to clear it from the outside. If hormonal imbalance is the reason for breakouts, this is a perfect fruit to control insulin and blood glucose levels. Remember, vitamin A is used in many topical acne treatments and is also anti-inflammatory.

grapes

The skin of this fruit contains a compound to help you in your quest against acne. This compound, resveratrol, inhibits the growth of acne-causing bacteria. Reduces oxidation. Although it is a high glycemic food that is known to trigger acne, when combined with a topical cream like benzoyl peroxide, the results are unbeatable. Where benzoyl peroxide kills acne-causing bacteria, resveratrol inhibits bacterial growth and does not allow it to appear for a long time and keeps the skin clear.

Lemons

When life throws you lemons, grab them and use them to heal those buds. The acid part of this yellow fruit cleanses the skin. Eliminates dry skin which is the reason behind clogged pores. In addition to this, it is good for building collagen and maintaining skin elasticity. Apply lemon juice with a cotton ball on the acne. It works as an astringent and kills bacteria.

papaya

The green fruit has been a trusted and effective acne treatment for a long time. An enzyme, papain, helps minimize redness caused by acne. Its flesh can be used to open the pores and drain clogged impurities. When a papaya puree is applied topically to acne-affected skin, its antibacterial agents fight acne-causing bacteria. Allow the pulp to remain on the skin for 10-15 minutes before rinsing it off. A ripe papaya contains beta-carotene, an antioxidant that can help produce healthy skin cells.

Tomatoes

Another healing remedy is found in the wonderful red fruit of the tomato. In addition to vitamin A, C and K, it is rich in lycopene, an antioxidant and our main healing ingredient. It makes acne disappear by drying them. So next time you see a little one trying to climb, apply tomato juice to it. There are two methods to do it. One, rub tomato slices and two, crush it and apply the pulp to it. Both are equally effective. Just leave it for an hour (never more than that, as it will make your skin extremely dry). Lycopene also helps the skin in the regeneration of new cells. Being anti-inflammatory, it controls inflammation caused as a by-product of acne that appears on the skin.

oranges

We all know that vitamin C is good for the skin, so why not include oranges in our fight against acne? Fight free radicals and increase collagen production. Orange peels are an even better cure for acne. 100 grams of orange peels contain 136 milligrams of vitamin C. Dietary fiber is also considerably higher in the peels than in the whole fruit. Drink juice to rejuvenate skin from within, and use the peels as a powder for clearer skin. Make a face mask and apply it directly to the skin. This prevents excessive sebum production and also lightens the skin texture.

These fruits are a delicious way to cure acne. Don’t miss them in your diet and skin care!
