Summer is well and truly upon us, and already the heat and humidity are taking its toll on our skin. To celebrate International Pineapple Day, we’re taking inspiration from our favourite tropical fruit to find a skincare regime to beat the heat. Pineapple is packed with vitamin C and loaded with anti-oxidants which are great at reviving tired skin and clearing up uneven toning and acne. Curate your beauty bag with these pineapple products for a five-step morning routine for a glowing complexion well beyond summer.
1. Scrub: Keihl’s Pineapple Papaya Facial Scrub
For an accurate reading of the city’s pollution or your own stress levels, just look in the mirror: it all shows up on the skin. If you don’t have time for a tropical retreat, Kiehl’s Pineapple Papaya Facial Scrub is the best place to begin for some self-care and pampering. The product foams with a gentle scrub on the face, ridding the skin of uneven texture or dullness and effectively easing that congested feeling at the end of a long day.

The pineapple, pumpkin, and papaya enzymes also purify without over-drying, proving it as effective as soap and as gentle as cream.

3. Toning: N.A.S. Toner by Amboni Organics
We all know toning corrects your skin colour, restores the pH balance and shrinks your pores, but why use a pineapple-scented one? Pineapple, when mixed with papaya and apple extracts, dissolves dead skin cells with natural enzymes that cause blemishes and breakouts. For scents like a tropical paradise, bacteria-free skin, and luxurious-feeling skin treatment, check out the N.A.S. Toner by Amboni Organics.
