SKIN NOURISHING

Papaya is loaded with wonderful antioxidants and enzymes that will exfoliate your skin and give you a healthy vibrant glow

DIY Papaya Face Mask

Dr. Michele Burklund April 2, 2014

Seriously, the most effective beauty treatments are located in the produce department of your  local grocery store!

A special enzyme in papaya called papain acts as an exfoliation agent which breaks down the surface of dead skin cells giving you super smooth skin. 

Honey has antibacterial properties which can help fight acne while reducing inflammation and providing moisture  for the skin.

Lemon is a great addition because it helps to brighten skin while adding collagen building vitamin C.

Give it a try... and you can eat any of the delish leftovers

Ingredients:

  • 1 Papaya

  • Honey

  • 1 Lemon

Directions:

  1. Blend 1 papaya (make sure it's peeled with no seeds) with 1 tablespoon honey and a hint of lemon.

  2. Apply to face and leave it on for 20 minutes

  3. Rinse and Glow!
