About Calamansi
Known as the Philippines’ “little green gem,” calamansi isn’t just a kitchen staple — it’s also a popular natural remedy for skincare. Rich in vitamin C and citric acid, calamansi is believed to help dry out pimples, lighten dark spots, and reduce excess oil on the skin. Many Filipinos have turned to this small citrus fruit as an affordable and accessible solution for acne and blemishes, making it a trusted part of local beauty traditions.
Pimple Problems
Pimples or acne on the face is one of the most common problems that teens and even other adults are facing. In my case, this problem started when I was twenty one years old and I thought it was a problem with my beauty regimen. Since pimple is usually caused by bacteria, I changed everything, including pillow cases and towels. Consulted 3 dermatologists, applied everything they suggested but still the same. For three years, I was singing: "mga tagyawat sa ilong, at sa pisngi, at sa noo, at sa batok, at sa baba......."
I searched online and found out that physical activities resulting to sweating also helps opening the pores on the skin and releases the pimple causing bacteria. I think hiking helps me a lot to fight pimples or acne. After pimples, my problem now is How to Remove the Pimple Marks. I tried using commercial beauty products and it removes the marks and dark spots but also brings back pimples. My friend suggested to use calamansi extracts and YES it lightens the marks.
Other Benefits of Calamansi Juice
Healthbase.com listed some of the health benefits from calamansi juice:
- Boosts collagen production
- Protects from common colds and flu
- Aids in weight loss
- Skin bleaching agent
- Prevents tooth decay
- Banishes body odor
- Eliminates dandruff
Using calamansi for pimples can be an effective natural remedy when used carefully and consistently. Its antibacterial properties help cleanse the skin, while its vitamin C content promotes healing and brightness. However, because calamansi is acidic, it’s best to do a patch test and dilute it with water or honey to avoid irritation. Natural doesn’t always mean gentle, so balance is key — with proper use, this humble fruit can help you achieve clearer, healthier-looking skin the natural way.
