Here are the skin benefits of Pineapple.
Pineapples provide a variety of benefits for the skin. According to Dr Ajay Rana, renowned dermatologist and aesthetic physician, pineapple is good for the hair, skin, and bones. If someone is prone to acne, skin rashes, or skin damage, pineapple can really rejuvenate the skin and make it look clean and fresh.
Pineapple juice contains loads of vitamin C and antioxidants that can treat acne, sun damage, and uneven skin toning. It will also keep the skin hydrated and make the skin clear.
“With age, our skin begins to lose its glow and starts to develop wrinkles. However, pineapples can make the skin look younger and delay cells from dying. It will make the skin smooth and add that extra layer of youth. The fruit also contains alpha-hydroxy acid, which is the main substance that delays the death of cells, thus aiding in anti-ageing capabilities. Pineapple can also reduce black spots on the face” shares Dr Rana with HealthShots.
The enzyme bromelain in the pineapple is an anti-inflammatory agent that can treat your acne-prone skin.
Papaya Extract
i) Reduces wrinkles
Signs of ageing have started appearing sooner and sooner in women. Antioxidants are essential to tackle this issue. Papaya is rich in the antioxidant lycopene that fights wrinkles and fine lines. It also has the ability to improve skin elasticity, thereby making it look smooth and supple.
ii) Controls acne
The enzymes papain and chymopapain found in papaya are known to reduce inflammation of the skin. This reduces inflammation and redness of active acne. What’s more, it also has mild exfoliating properties that remove dead skin cells, which may clog pores if left on the skin. Papaya also contains flavonoids, which means it is an excellent antibacterial and antifungal ingredient that keeps acne causing bacteria at bay.
iii) Removes dead skin cells
Physical exfoliators can be pretty harsh, especially for those with sensitive skin. Applying ripe, mashed papaya on the face can gently remove dead skin cells. This mild exfoliator removes dirt and other impurities from the skin, leaving you with smooth, radiant and younger-looking skin.
iv) Soothes irritated skin
The healing enzymes in papaya make it an excellent fruit for soothing irritated skin. It also offers relief from sunburn. Simply rubbing the insides of a papaya peel on sunburnt or irritated skin can offer quick relief.
v) Improves skin tone
Dark spots and blemishes are common skin concerns. They can be corrected by using the goodness of papaya. The fruit is often used as a home remedy to treat dark spots and blemishes by mixing it with honey.
The Advantages of Jojoba Beads in Facial Scrubs
1. They’re Predictable
Other granules— whether derived from seeds, shells, oats, sugar, rice, or anything in between—have to be broken down from something that already exists. This makes their shape unpredictable and hard to control, often resulting in shards rather than beads.
2. They Never Scratch or Damage Your Skin
Jojoba beads are consistently rounded with no sharp edges. A big reason facial scrubs fell by the wayside was that some of them contained jagged particles. People realized this could cause microtears in the skin, with repeated use leading to irritation and barrier damage. In fact, having a “damaged” moisture barrier actually means developing tiny, invisible cracks through which moisture can escape and irritants can enter. As you can imagine, using something that scratches your skin only makes matters worse!
Check out these microscopic images of jojoba beads compared to other exfoliating granules. While the jojoba beads are perfectly round, the others have sharp, jagged edges. You’d never be able to tell just by looking at them with the naked eye!
3. Jojoba Beads are Biodegradable
Finally, jojoba beads are completely biodegradable. Until fairly recently, many popular face and body scrubs used plastic microbeads made of polyethylene. These beads were officially banned in 2015 after it was discovered they were making their way into lakes and oceans, disrupting wildlife and potentially contaminating the water supply.
After plastic microbeads were banned, many companies turned to natural granules such as shells, seeds, or sugar. But, as demonstrated above, these can be harmful to the skin. Jojoba beads are truly the best of both worlds in this sense. They offer the smooth texture that made plastic microbeads perfect exfoliators, without any of the environmental ramifications.
