DIY Fruity Facial

When you buy an anti-aging face cream we are told to look for the anti-aging superstars like coenzyme Q10 and AHA’s (alpha hydroxy acids) but did you know that these are found in our home grown pineapple.  Next time you eat a pineapple keep the rinds and gently rub the rinds onto your face, leave for 10 to 15 minutes and rinse – this treatment is best done in the privacy of the bathroom.  The enzymes found in the rind will help dissolve dead skin cells, brighten the complexion, refine your pores and even skin and won’t break the bank!
