INGREDIENT FOCUS: WHAT IS PINEAPPLE?

The fruit is indigenous to Paraguay, South America, and was then spread by the local Indians up through the South and Central Americas, to the West Indies. It was then brought to Spain when Columbus first discovered the Americas’ in 1493, from where; it spread to rest of the world by sailors who would eat it on long journeys to prevent scurvy (a disease caused by the deficiency of vitamin C).

HOW CAN PINEAPPLE HELP MY SKIN?
It keeps your skin beautiful and protected!
Pineapple protects the body from free radicals that attack the body and skin and can help with sunstroke and skin hyper pigmentation caused by ageing. Pineapple is rich in Vitamins C & E, which strengthens the collagen matrix in the skin, making skin look plumper, glowing and youthful and will lighten skin tone, lessen the appearance of scars, and help get rid of age related skin problems. Moreover, the juice can help get rid of skin problems like acne and oily skin.
Exfoliator
Pineapple will also exfoliate and unclog acne pores as the enzymes found in pineapples will cleanse the skin by dissolving blackheads and dead cells from the skin’s surface, thus preventing future build-up of acne and pimples.
Antioxidant Rich
Full of important antioxidants, pineapple helps to prevent the damaging effects of free radicals by stopping cellular damage within the body. Keeping skin looking youthful, bright and firm, with a strengthened structure, keeping it well protected.
Natural Anti-inflammatory
Having anti-inflammatory properties, pineapple can reduce swellings, redness and heat associated with painful joints, muscular sprains and even inflamed skin due to conditions such as acne. Powerful compounds in pineapple fight off inflammation similar to anti-inflammatory drugs.
Helping with Collagen Synthesis

HOME-USE PRODUCTS
De-Ageing Saltmousse – Papaya and Pineapple
Unlike any other spa exfoliating product, the De-Ageing Saltmousse formula is a holistic treatment for the recovery of health and energetic skin through the powerful release of negative ions. This unique formula infuses the skin with dehydrated sea water known for its natural high potency concentration of minerals. As the skin is surrounded with environmental pollutants, subjected to sun exposure and daily stress, it becomes concentrated with unhealthy positive ions and depleted of healthy negative ions. Exfoliating, smoothing, and deeply mineralising, the De-Ageing Saltmousse is the most natural way to rehabilitate skin health and radiance. As water is added to the formula, the skin is gently polished with this exquisite aromatic scrub. It pleasurably foams and slowly releases repairing negative ions to the epidermis for an ideal balance and increased ingredient absorbency.
De-Ageing Body Balm – Papaya and Pineapple
This rich and creamy De-Ageing balm is formulated with microemulsified Shea Butter which serves to release Collagen and Elastin polypeptides, Tegospheres with Retinol, Pomegranate extract and anti-ageing tropical fruits extracts within the formula.
