Benefits of apples in acne treatment

Dr Priyanka Kuri, consultant dermatologist at Aster Whitefield Hospital, Bengaluru (India) - said that fruits, especially those rich in antioxidants such as apples, berries and strawberries can help make the skin healthier.

Antioxidants help fight inflammation, a factor in acne and premature aging. Vitamin C, found in many fruits, aids in collagen production and skin repair.

Each apple contains a lot of quercetin, especially in the apple peel. This is a very good antioxidant, helping to protect the skin from the harmful effects of sunlight.

Adding apples to your daily diet when your skin is suffering from acne will help the acne quickly disappear and give you back a smoother, brighter skin. Therefore, in addition to using products to support the treatment and reduction of acne, you should increase your daily apple intake for faster results.

Dr. Priyanka adds that for apples, you must eat at least 2-4 fruits per day to help treat forehead acne or cheek acne.

Regular application of raw apple slices or apple pulp on the skin can also provide many benefits and help lighten the skin.

Does a healthy gut help healthy skin?

According to Dr. Priyanka Kuri, gut health significantly affects skin health.

Inflammation in the gut, often caused by an imbalance of bacteria, can contribute to skin problems like acne.

Therefore, you need to maintain a healthy gut microbiome, rich in beneficial bacteria, which can help reduce inflammation and improve skin health.

Additionally, forehead acne is a common concern, especially among teenagers. Factors such as dandruff, caused by excess oil and dead skin cells on the scalp and hair that come into contact with the forehead, can contribute to acne.

Regular shampooing and trimming can help prevent this condition.

Finally, Dr. Priyanka Kuri notes that while these foods are beneficial to overall health and well-being, they are not a miracle cure for acne. Everyone reacts differently to foods, and some fruits, like mangoes, can cause acne in some people.

Therefore, for specific skin problems, you need to consult a dermatologist and incorporate a suitable diet to improve the condition you are experiencing.
