Tarts and pastries, juices and shakes – we all love the zesty pineapple. But it’s time to take the fruit off your plate and straight to your face!
Fruits have always been essential to skincare and beauty; what with berries and apples and bananas and tomatoes. We all love the rich and fruity benefits. Add one more to your reap-the-benefits-of-this-fruit list. P for pineapple!
“Pineapple extracts contain a mix of enzymes called bromelain, which gently exfoliates but also has anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial benefits,” explains dermatologist Dr. Stefanie Williams.
An overachiever of sorts, pineapple also acts as a natural exfoliator. Want more? It’s packed with Vitamin C and promises the skin an effortless gleam. Convincing, much?
If not, here are some of our top pineapple-infused picks we think you definitely need to try:
