The 3 "P" Power Scrub is simply the best exfoliating treatment that combines the potent rejuvenating attributes rich in powerful antioxidants and enzymes of three common fruits for an exfoliating homemade facial scrub skin care recipe that is a favorite of high-end spas and celebrities alike.
The anti-aging properties of the pineapple, papaya and pumpkin work in concert to effectively and naturally rejuvenate aging skin making these three fruit an excellent choice for a homemade facial scrub.
Pineapple
is a natural source of the enzyme bromelain which is used
medicinally to promote healing, reduce bruising, inflammation, swelling
and pain.
The natural fruit acids work to help slow down the ageing symptoms of the skin.
This naturally potent antioxidant is a rich source of vitamins A, B1, B6, and C all of which help to reduce free radical activity, is a source of minerals, vitamins including potassium, citric acid and folic acid.
As an alpha-hydroxy fruit acid, pineapple exfoliates dead skin cells, stimulates skin repair and collagen production which reduces facial wrinkles.
Vitamin C synthesizes amino acids and collagen. As we all know, collagen is one of the primary building blocks for plumping sagging skin and reducing wrinkles.
Papayas
have quite powerful medicinal properties. As a matter of fact, every part of the papaya plant can be used medicinally.
Rich in vitamins A,
B and C, as well as in calcium, phosphorus and iron papaya is used to
treat many skin disorders including acne, warts, and corns. It is also used to reduce
swelling and promote healing.
Pumpkin
has natural healing properties, is an excellent
organic source of vitamin A, C and E as well as rich in
beta-carotene, antioxidants, amino acids and minerals.
It is a skin
softening agent with emollient attributes and is used as a natural cure
for burns, and other skin inflammations.
All three of these potent "P" fruits are exceptionally strong fruit acids which
work to remove dead skin cells that collect on the surface of the skin
giving it a dull, dry appearance.
Fruit acids penetrate deep though the layers of skin to increase the
rate of new skin cell regeneration and collagen formation, making them an extremely effective natural ingredient for an effective DIY exfoliating treatment suitable for most skin types.
Sugar cane
is a natural source of glycolic acid.
The sugar also
provides an abrasive quality to the scrub to completely polish the
surface of the skin for complete exfoliation.
