Pineapple is an excellent moisturizer, exfoliator, and source of vitamins and alpha-hydroxy acids that can be used in a wide variety of skin care products.

Grown in many countries in with a tropical climate, pineapple is both delicious to eat, has an enticing smell, and can be used in skin care products to help keep the skin flexible and firm by increasing collagen synthesis. Keeping the skin moisturized using alpha-hydroxy acids helps reduce the appearance of wrinkles and other visible signs of aging. Pineapple is also packed with skin-friendly nutrients including vitamins A, B, and C, carotenoids, and amino acids. Also useful in the fight against cellulite, pineapples contain bromelain which is used to reduce inflammation and soothe edema as it breaks down the connections in the skin. Additionally, bromelain allows pineapple to serve as an exfoliator.
