Can Apples Cure Acne? - September 17th, 2009

Can eating apples cure your acne?  Well an apple a day is supposed to keep the doctor away right?  Anyway, it’s been asked before, and I figured why not take a look into it.  Apples are fruits obviously.  So they are full of vitamins, minerals, nutrients in general, and most importantly for your skin, antioxidants.  So this isn’t a bad start.  It can kill off bacteria, help you to control your skin’s natural sebum production, and otherwise in some ways it can treat your acne problems.  It is also high in pectin, which is sometimes used to detoxify the body, and it’s sometimes used to heal the skin in some ways, suggesting it can also help out with your acne.  Actually for pectin to make that impact, well you’d either have to have a supplement with high amounts, or you’d have to have about 40 or more apples per day.  So that’s kinda a big deal to say the least.  This being said, maybe it’s time to reconsider the idea about using apples to take care of your acne or otherwise to really benefit your skin in a significant way.  It won’t hurt, but it’s also not that big a deal.
