Exfoliating Papaya Peel

1 papaya, peeled, deseeded and chopped

1 tablespoon honey

Juice of 1 lemon

 

Papayas are incredible for topical use due to their healing and exfoliating enzymes, which act similar to alpha hydroxy acid. This mask reduces fine lines, moisturizes and gives skin a beautiful glow.

Place the papaya in a blender and blend on high until the fruit is smooth and pastelike. Pour it into a bowl and stir in honey and freshly squeezed lemon juice. This mask tends to be thin, so you may want to apply it with a clean foundation brush. Leave on for 15 minutes and rinse thoroughly with warm water.
