Combine the fruit with other easy-to-find ingredients like oats and sea salt to make a low-cost yet effective body scrub.
But first, you need to be aware of the effects of tropical fruits on beauty, which are outlined by specialists below.
Tropical fruits contain glycolic acid, which is one of many alpha-hydroxy acids and is one of the greatest methods to exfoliate the skin effectively. Glycolic acid can also be found in a variety of serums, exfoliating masks for the face and body.
Sugarcane juice contains glycolic acid. This tropical essence will make your skin softer and dewier. Aside from sugarcane, pineapple is an excellent ‘cosmetic’ for the skin. Pineapple is abundant in vitamin C, an antioxidant that is required by the body to create collagen. Not only will the combination of sugar cane and pineapple produce an excellent exfoliant, but it will also promote collagen formation throughout the body.
Citrus fruits contain proteases, which are enzymes that cause chemical reactions in the body and aid in biological processes. One of the best-known fruit enzymes is bromelain, which is abundant in pineapple and has been scientifically shown to reduce inflammation and aid in wound healing.
Cane sugar and pineapple exfoliating scrub
Pineapple is beneficial to both the inside and outside of the body, aiding digestion and brightening the skin.
Simply prepare 1/2 cup cane sugar, 1/2 cup walnut or coconut oil, and 1/4 to 1/2 pineapple puree. Depending on the size of the pineapple, you may need 1/4 to 1/2 pineapple pulp to make 1/2 cup purée. Put the sliced pineapple in a blender and mix until smooth.
Blend until smooth, then transfer to a mixing bowl. In a mixing bowl, combine cane sugar and walnut oil. (If you are allergic to nuts, substitute coconut or extra virgin olive oil for the walnuts.) Mix all the ingredients with a spoon. After you’ve finished showering, apply the mixture all over your body, focusing more on your knees and elbows. Wash off with warm water.
Sea salt, kiwi, and coconut exfoliating scrub
This exfoliant is ideal for irritated, itchy, or inflamed skin. Kiwi’s rich vitamin E content hydrates skin, while menthol is a refreshing substance to alleviate inflammation.
Furthermore, the vitamin C and antioxidants included in kiwi aid in the formation of collagen, the maintenance of elasticity, and the prevention of signs of aging. When used with coconut oil, it helps to improve moisture, reduce water loss, and promote wound healing, leaving skin smooth and flawless.
1 cup mineral sea salt, 1 kiwi (peeled), 1/4 cup coconut oil, 10 drops menthol. Mash and mix the kiwi pulp with a spoon until smooth. Mix 1 cup mineral sea salt, 1/4 cup coconut oil, and 10 drops of peppermint essential oil. If necessary, add additional coconut oil to get the desired texture. Leave the scrub to sit on the skin for a few minutes before washing it off to soothe inflamed skin and boost its cooling properties.
Mango exfoliating scrub
Mangoes are high in vitamin A, which aids in the removal of dead skin and the appearance of new, healthy cells beneath the skin. Oatmeal is also an excellent exfoliant for rough patches of skin.
You just need 1 mango, 2 spoons of oats, and 1 spoon of honey. Cut the whole mango into chunks and puree in a blender. Add the oatmeal and honey, stir with a spoon.
You can use this recipe as an after-shower scrub, leaving it on for 5-10 minutes. Then, after rinsing with warm water, apply moisturizer.
Sea salt and papaya exfoliating scrub
Because it has a direct effect on your skin, papaya is frequently referred to as the “fruit of heaven.” The use of papaya fruit as a topical treatment for blemishes and acne is highly recommended. Papaya is also an excellent exfoliating ingredient. The vitamin C in papaya also has anti-inflammatory properties, which is why it is effective in treating chest or back acne.
Simply prepare 1/2 cup finely ground sea salt, 1 papaya, and 2 tablespoons olive oil. Cut the papaya and purée it in a food processor until smooth. Mix half a cup of sea salt and use it as a body scrub.
In this case, we don’t recommend using oils if you have pimples because oils can clog skin and cause further pimples. However, if you’re looking for a body scrub, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil, mix thoroughly with a spoon, and use it as a scrub.
