Enzymes are one of the hottest ingredients in skincare right now. Not only do they majorly up your glow game, but they gently exfoliate the skin leaving you with a brighter, clearer complexion. The only problem is – like so many great skincare ingredients – they have a slightly higher price tag, but don’t worry, we have a much more affordable option… Yup, there’s a DIY alternative, and this particular enzyme scrub has been one of our faves for years. Here’s everything you need to know:

The key ingredient for this scrub is pineapple. Pineapple contains the fruit enzyme bromelain, which acts as a gentle exfoliator by removing dead skin cells that clog pores and make your skin appear dull. It’s also a natural source of vitamin C, a powerful antioxidant that protects against skin-damaging free radicals and UV light. The raw oats will work as a natural anti-inflammatory, and just like honey, they’re a natural humectant, so the scrub will draw moisture back into the skin. It’s also great for acne-prone skin as it’ll help reduce the swelling of any existing pimples, and as honey is an antibacterial, it’ll help to balance skin.
