Snow? Think Pineapple

A bright, sunny, yellow pineapple

First start with natural beauty treatment so the fragrants of pineapple fill your cute little nose. Alpha hydroxy acids (AHA) work wonders because it removes dead skin cells, which is mainly made up of a protein called keratin. But did you know there is a type of plant enzymes called Proteolyitc enzymes that actually help to dissolve the layer of keratin?

Pineapple is a main source of Proteolytic plant enzyme. The enzyme helps to fight free-radicals that damage the skin and helps to remove dead skin cells while detoxifying to give a clean, rejuvenated skin. Pineapple is useful against acne as it has anti-inflammation properties. Having exfoliating and anti-acne properties, pineapple makes your skin spotless and young.

1 slice ripe pineapple or 1 tablespoon pineapple juice

Massage the fruit or juice onto your face. Although the fruit is sticky, it is best to let it dry completely (it takes about 10 to 15 minutes), before rinsing with warm water and patting dry. Rub your hand over your face to feel just how much softer and more supple the skin feels! Speaking of hands…. It’s nice on the top of the hands too.

Don't you just hate it when your elbows get dry, itchy and scaly? Dry, scaly elbows don't look attractive at all. You can remedy this skin problem by exfoliating using a good, and natural, body scrub: fresh pineapple. Rub some mashed, fresh pineapple onto your elbows (as well as on other dry, itchy and scaly areas on your body) and rinse it off after 15 minutes. Apply lotion or moisturizer to finish it off.

Now let's go to Hawaii

So some great health benifits.
Did ya know pineapple is a meat tenderizer? The bromelain in pineapple helps tenderize meats because it breaks down protein. When making a marinade for tough cuts of meat such as flank steak, add pineapple juice. Now ya know!
