How to Use Pineapple Enzyme Products in Your Routine

Bromelain-containing products work as gentle exfoliants that you apply to clean skin for 5-10 minutes before rinsing off.

1. Start with clean skin. Wash your face with your regular cleanser and pat dry completely. Bromelain needs direct contact with skin to work effectively, so any residue will block its action.
2. Apply the enzyme product. Use a thin, even layer across your face, avoiding the eye area. Most enzyme masks or treatments contain bromelain alongside other fruit enzymes for balanced exfoliation.
3. Time it right. Leave on for 5-10 minutes maximum for your first few uses. Bromelain breaks down proteins gently but consistently, so longer isn't better when you're building tolerance.
4. Rinse thoroughly. Use lukewarm water to remove all traces of the product. Follow with your regular moisturizer since enzyme exfoliation can leave skin temporarily more sensitive.
