On top of all the other benefits for skin, pineapple is also great in controlling acne breakouts. Pineapple reduces excess oil and mattes the skin and its enzymes exfoliate the skin and unclog pores.

Rosewater will hydrate your skin and it also has antiseptic and antimicrobial properties. Oatmeal powder soothes the skin and calms the redness and irritations – perfect for often inflamed acne-prone skin.
