Pineapples are effective in making skin smooth, acne-free and bright.
A study published in the Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology in 2019 found that bromelain from pineapple is effective in reducing inflammation and speeding up the healing process of acne-affected skin. The study showed that applying bromelain topically can reduce the size and redness of acne, as well as speed up the regeneration of damaged skin.
In addition, vitamin C in pineapple has been shown to be effective in increasing collagen production and stimulating skin repair. In a study published in the Journal of Investigative Dermatology in 2016, it was found that topical vitamin C can help reduce signs of skin aging, increase brightness, making it useful for treating dull skin.
Papaya is effective in treating acne and dull skin.
Papaya is a tropical fruit that has many benefits for the skin, especially in treating acne and dull skin. This is largely due to the content of papain enzymes and vitamin A in papaya. According to the Journal of Dermatological Science in 2017, papain in papaya can help reduce blackheads and acne by exfoliating dead skin cells, cleaning pores, and speeding up the healing of acne-prone skin.
Additionally, another study published in the International Journal of Cosmetic Science in 2018 found that papain also helps improve skin brightness while reducing signs of aging by stimulating cell renewal and reducing rough skin texture.
