Title: Pineapple Body Seltzer
Categories: Misc *
Yield: 1 Treatment
1/4 | Fresh pineapple, pureed in a food processor or blender until | |
2 | c | Seltzer water or sparkling mineral water |
Pineapple cleanses and refreshed the skin. It contains bromelain, a protein-digesting enzyme that removes any dead skin cells, surface dirt and oils, a process so necessary for healthy skin. This is a rejuvenating shower treatment and a great way to start the day. Be sure to moisturize well afterward, especially if you have dry or sensitive skin.
Mix together the pineapple and seltzer water. Use as a final rinse in the shower after you have finished washing. Use a clean sponge or washcloth and squeeze the pineapple water all over your skin and hair. Rinse well with warm water, making sure you remove all the pineapple water. Pat yourself dry with a clean towel and moisturize your skin all over.
Note: This is an excellent treatment for oily skin or acne. You may want to keep a small amount for a skin freshener - it's just as effective after the seltzer water goes flat.
