Incredibly Soft Skin: Natural Exfoliation with Pineapple & Papaya
If you really want incredibly soft skin, try using pineapple or papaya. Pineapple is one of the highest natural sources of AHAs (Alpha Hydroxy Acids). However, I don’t recommend using it on your face due to the strength of its AHAs.
Here’s how I use it: I’ll cut a fresh pineapple and apply slices to my feet, wrapped in plastic wrap, before going to sleep. Just use some masking tape to lightly secure it so you don’t get pineapple juice on your sheets. It’s simple! All you have to do is sleep with fresh pineapple on your feet or any other rough area like your hands, elbows, or knees. When you wake up, your skin will feel as soft as a baby’s—without an abrasive scrub.
Another tip of mine is to use papaya on your skin. You can apply this to your face, neck, and anywhere else. You can mash it up and use it alone or in recipes. Here’s one to try:
Papaya & Gelatin Mask
- 1 papaya
- 1 package of gelatin
- 3 Tbsp of water
Dissolve the gelatin with 3 tablespoons of water over low heat. Thoroughly blend the peeled, seeded papaya, strain the juice, and mix the juice with the gelatin. Refrigerate for 20 minutes, then apply to your body for 15 minutes. Rinse off. The results? This is something you simply have to try!
