Notes
According to dermatologist David Colbert, the pineapple enzymes brighten dull skin and help eliminate toxins, while the salicylic acid in the strawberry sloughs off dead skin and helps shrink pores. It also reduces redness and swelling, and promotes cell regeneration. Greek yogurt contains lactic acid and zinc, which help to dry acne, and it evens and smoothes skin tone. Argan oil is rich in vitamin E and essential fatty acids to fill in wrinkles, fight acne, and combat dry skin.
Use fresh ingredients, organic if possible, since canned ingredients contain syrups and preservatives. Also, test the peel on your hand or arm before applying to your face to check for a negative reaction to the mixture.
