One of the greatest aesthetic concerns that women have is the appearance of fine lines and under eye wrinkles.

While it’s part of the skin’s biological aging process, many try to delay it to maintain their youthful appearance for longer.

This is increasingly difficult, however, if you’re constantly exposed to the sun and other environmental factors that accelerate the deterioration of the skin.

The area underneath your eyes is one of the most affected regions because its delicate skin tends to show the signs of aging more easily.

Fortunately there are several techniques that have been developed to significantly improve the appearance of your skin and rejuvenate this area.

The drawback is that they’re often expensive and not always 100% effective.

That’s why today we want to share the recipe for a natural pineapple mask that achieves an effect similar to that of commercial products.

We’ll detail some of its main properties and tell you how you can make it at home.

Give it a try!

What are the benefits of this natural pineapple mask for under eye wrinkles?

Pineapple is a tropical fruit that’s been used for culinary and medicinal purposes for centuries.

Not long ago, however, it was discovered that it’s also great for your skin. This is thanks to an active enzyme known as bromelain, which reduces inflammation and regulates your natural pH balance.

This enzyme is a natural source of alpha hydroxy acid, a compound that’s used in the cosmetic industry to produce anti-wrinkle creams.

In addition to that, it’s also worth noting that pineapple is rich in antioxidants. Antioxidants are molecules that have the ability to slow cellular damage from free radicals.

It also has a high water content that regulates your skin’s production of oils to reduce that greasy appearance.

Pineapple also helps your skin retain its natural moisture, reducing problems associated with dryness, peeling, or eczema.

To take advantage of all the benefits we mentioned above, you can make an eye treatment that will help reduce the appearance of those little under eye wrinkles, or “crow’s feet.”

We like to enhance its effects by using a little honey. This is because honey can help diminish the appearance of wrinkles and remove dead skin cells.

Ingredients

  • 1 large slice of pineapple
  • 2 tablespoons of honey (50 g)

Preparation

  • Remove the pineapple skin and cut a large slice.
  • Add it to your blender and process it well.
  • Once you have a natural juice puree, add two tablespoons of honey and stir.

How to apply it

  • In the evening, after you’ve washed your face and removed all traces of eye makeup, apply this mask to the area around your eyes. Make sure to cover the under eye wrinkles completely.
  • Leave it on for 20 to 30 minutes before rinsing with cold water.
  • You can store any leftover product in the refrigerator.
  • Use this every day, or at least three times a week.

Things to remember!

Some of the compounds in pineapple can cause your skin to be sensitive to sunlight. Therefore, it’s best to avoid direct sun exposure after you use this mask.

To avoid sunburn or other unwanted effects, only use it at night and don’t forget to use sunscreen the following day.

If you have a known sensitivity or skin condition, it’s best to do a small skin test before you apply this product to your entire eye area.

Thanks to its anti-wrinkle and moisturizing effects, you can use this same treatment to rejuvenate the delicate skin of the neck and chest. In both instances you should increase the amount of honey you use to make it more effective.

Remember that because it’s a natural treatment, it will take a little longer for the effects of this mask to be visible.

To see them as quickly as possible, you need to use it on a regular basis. You can also combine it with other cosmetic treatments.

It’s also essential that you maintain a healthy diet, always use sun protection and sunglasses and drink plenty of water.

Follow each of these tips and you’ll achieve younger, more toned skin. And it will be super affordable as well!
