DIY Papaya Mask

I have a mask recipe for all skin types, except those who are hypersensitive. This mask includes papaya and pineapple enzymes that will help with the digestion of dead skin cells on the surface of the skin. With this natural exfoliation, your skin will appear brighter with a wonderful glow. You'll need the following ingredients:


1/4 cup freshly mashed raw papaya


1 teaspoon fresh raw pineapple juice (optional)


Mash the papaya and add the pineapple juice if desired until a smooth paste is created. Put the pulp on your face, neck and chest and leave on for 10-15 minutes. This can be runny, so make sure you have a towel near by or lay down and relax! You may feel tingling, but this is a natural reaction of the fruit acids working. Rinse the mask off with cool water, using a gentle face cloth if needed.


You can use this mask once a week after cleansing your face, just be sure to follow with a moisturizer and SPF! Do not store this treatment, mix as needed to keep it fresh.
