HOW IT WORKS: Fruits are a natural source of alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs), which dissolve dead skin cells, increase hydration, and stimulate the production of collagen (the stuff that gives your skin firmness). AHAs also smooth the skin's surface, which can even skin tone and make tiny lines less visible.
Pineapple and papaya make particularly good
antiaging remedies because both are rich with AHAs. Each contains a natural enzyme (bromelain in pineapple and papain in papaya) that sloughs off dead skin cells. When combined with honey
a natural humectant that hydrates your skin, the result is a
soft, luminescent complexion. |
