which juice is good for pimples - #16055

Ayush

I am really at my wits end here, trying to figure out which juice is good for pimples. I've been struggling with acne for a long time now. I used to have clear skin, but then around six months ago, I started breaking out like crazy—like, I can’t even pin point what triggered it. I tried all sorts of creams and washes, but nothing seems to help, and my skin has this super oily feeling most days. Luckily, my friend suggested I try a few juices to help clear things up, but now I'm just confused on which juice is good for pimples. I’ve heard some people say that carrot juice is awsome for your skin, while others swear by watermelon juice or even cucumber juice. I sometimes make smoothies, but I’m not really sure how many juices I could mix in. I mean, do they really work, or is it all just hype? Like, if I start drinking juice, how long does it take to see results? Should I be drinking juice daily, or just once in a while? And, when I look up which juice is good for pimples online, I get a million suggestions. Ugh, it’s overwhelming! Anyone has any real experience with this? What juices gave you a break from pimples?

Doctors’ responses

Juices like carrot, cucumber, and watermelon have been touted as beneficial for skin, particularly due to their vitamin and antioxidant content. Carrot juice, for example, is rich in vitamin A and beta-carotene which may help with skin rejuvenation, while cucumber juice is hydrating and soothing due to its high water content and silica. Watermelon juice can be refreshing and provides vitamins A and C, which are antioxidants that could potentially aid in reducing inflammation. However, it’s important to note that while these juices might contribute to overall skin health by providing essential nutrients, they are unlikely to be a standalone cure for acne. Acne is often multifactorial, involving hormonal changes, diet, stress, and genetics.

Incorporating these juices into your diet can be supportive, but should be part of a larger strategy that involves understanding and addressing any underlying causes of your acne. Drinking juice daily is generally safe but be cautious of any added sugars which could exacerbate acne in some people. A balanced approach with a focus on a healthy diet low in sugary and processed foods, staying hydrated, maintaining a consistent skincare routine, and possibly consulting a dermatologist for other treatment options if needed is important. Results from dietary changes may take a few weeks to become noticeable—sometimes longer, depending on the individual’s body and skin type. Mixing juices and smoothies can be a great way to consume a variety of nutrients, but moderation is key. If you haven’t yet, blood work to rule out any deficiencies or hormonal imbalances could also be beneficial with the guidance of a healthcare provider.
