Papaya Mask for Aging Skin
This tropical enzyme-packed mask is great for aging skin, pigmentation problems, or overall exfoliation. Full of alpha hydroxy acids, vitamins A and C, and polyphenols, this mask will help dissolve dead skin cells while moisturizing the skin.
Materials
- ½ fresh papaya peeled and seeded
- 1 cup pineapple
- 5 strawberries
- 1 tablespoon honey
- Ice cube tray
Instructions
- In a blender combine all ingredients and blend until pureed.
- There is usually enough water in the fruit to puree well, but if you need to add a little water to blend it smoothly, go ahead.
- Pour into ice cube trays whatever does not get used immediately and freeze for a later date.
- Whenever you would like a mask, pop out a cube and defrost by placing in a bowl and leaving it on the counter until soft.
- You can mash with a fork as it softens and then apply with fingertips, avoiding the eye area. Leave on for 10 minutes and then rinse with warm water, follow with moisturizer.
