Apple Cider And Other Foods That Treat Actinic Keratosis

Milk Thistle

Milk thistle is a herb known more for its healing powers for conditions associated with the liver, heart, and diabetes, but it is also an antioxidant with anti-inflammatory properties. The phytochemicals found in milk thistle are considered beneficial in combating UV light-induced oxidative stress on the skin. Too much exposure can lead to actinic keratosis and skin cancer but the herb, applied as directed, can help reverse or reduce damage.

Green Tea

Another of nature's healthy remedies is green tea and the properties found within it. Drinking it benefits the skin from the inside out and applying it directly to the skin allows the astringent properties to work on contact. Actinic keratosis is often the result of a sunburn, so putting a green tea bag on the area immediately following the sun's damaging rays will help mitigate further skin damage. Watch for any signs of irritation or allergic reactions.
