The Pointy Pineapple

To me, pineapple means summer. It’s a thirst quencher, makes a great pina colada and goes great barbecued on burgers. However, we love it for one more reason – the goodness it provides our skin.

Pineapple’s secret killer weapon is bromelain which are enzymes that naturally digest dead skin cells by breaking down protein and therefore promoting cell regeneration. This is a much gentler alternative to acidic exfoliants (i.e. alpha and beta hydroxy acids).

In addition, pineapple is rich in Vitamin E and C which will help make your skin brighter and smoother and antioxidants which help fight against free radical damage from the environment. It is also anti-inflammatory helping soothe problematic skin.

Pineapple is good for those with sensitive skin seeking an alternative to harsher acidic exfoliants. People with problematic skin or acne will also benefit from its anti-inflammatory properties.

Due to its skin care benefits, pineapple can be found in a range of products including cleansers, scrubs, masks and lotions. We too use pineapple. It is one of our active ingredients in our Enzyme Exfoliating Mask. Our Enzyme Exfoliating Mask gently prevents and helps restore skin outbreaks leaving your skin feeling soft and purified. For an added boost, you can leave the mask on for an additional 5-10 minutes.

So….. get your pineapple on!
