Exfoliating Facial Facts:
Pineapple
is a natural source of the enzyme bromelain which is used
medicinally to promote healing, reduce bruising, inflammation, swelling
and pain.
Pineapple is a potent antioxidant containing vitamin C which helps to
reduce free radical activity, is a source of minerals, vitamins
including potassium, citric acid and folic acid. As an alpha-hydroxy
fruit acid, pineapple exfoliates dead skin cells, stimulates skin
repair and collagen production which reduces facial wrinkles.
Papayas
are rich in medicinal properties. As a matter of fact, all
parts of the papaya plant can be used medicinally. Rich in vitamins A,
B and C, as well as in calcium, phosphorus and iron papaya is used to
treat many skin disorders such as acne, warts, corns, to reduce
swelling, and promote healing.
Pumpkin
has natural healing properties, is an excellent
organic source of vitamin A, C and E as well as rich in
beta-carotene, antioxidants, amino acids and minerals. It is a skin
softening agent with emollient attributes and is used as a natural cure
for burns, and other skin inflammations.
Sugar cane
is a natural source of glycolic acid.
The sugar also
provides an abrasive quality to the scrub to completely polish the
surface of the skin for complete exfoliation.
