Papaya Anti-Aging Mask: Natural Fridays

This week, I'll be featuring my new favourite papaya enzyme mask. It is ridiculously easy to prepare and it works great on my skin. I've been using this mask twice per week for a month now and loving the results more. I've had less breakouts and more radiant skin. Even my leftover acne scars have visibly faded off in addition to my acne scar-fading regime. Papaya is great as an exfoliator thanks to its enzyme papain. Certainly by now, we beauty buffs know that the key to beautiful skin is to exfoliate, exfoliate and exfoliate some more! Did you know that the papain enzyme is used widely in skincare products in the market? Now, you can try this papaya anti-aging mask at home without burning a hole in your pocket especially during this financial turmoil.

The Ingredient List

1) Papaya
Papaya is a natural choice in skincare due to its rich source of Vitamin A, which helps to rejuvenate skin by increasing skin turnover. It's rich in papain enzyme which is fantastic for sloughing off dead cells thus revealing glowing healthy skin. It's also packed with lots of Vitamin C which further helps improve radiance in our complexion. With continued use, papaya when applied to the skin could help to reduce fine lines and dryness of skin. Sounds too good to be true, but believe it, it's all true. Also, papaya is recognised as the fruit that fights wrinkles

That's it, just papaya and papaya alone for beautiful skin!


Directions

1) Slice the papaya in half and discard the seeds. Eat the entire papaya for extra anti-aging goodness

2) Now, with the empty papaya hull, rub it in circular motions over your face. Avoid eye area in case the sticky sweet juice irritates your eyes

3) Leave on the mashed papaya pulp + juice on your skin for 20 mins, then rinse and pat dry. Follow up with a moisturizer

4) Voila, you will find a rejuvenated visage with a radiant glow!. Skin is very soft and smooth to the touch. Enjoy your beautiful skin.

5) For best results, use this facial mask twice per week as part of your anti-aging skincare routine.

Note: For those with sensitive skin, you may feel a tingling sensation due to the enzymes working on your skin. Also, papaya has a smell that probably needs some getting used to.

I've always believed in the power of fruits for beautiful skin, therefore I try to consume at least 3 portions of fruit in my daily diet everyday. Besides, I simply love to try out new fruit facial masks to keep my skin beautiful. Love the fact that they are natural and I can really see the dramatic differences on my skin.
