I’ve always known that papaya is great for the skin, but for some weird reason I’ve never investigated it any further. So when I was reading through the Australian WellBeing magazine on the weekend and saw an article for how you can use papaya as both a mask and an exfoliant, I thought I might as well take the time to try it out.

And no, there are no photos of me wearing the mask, but I did another video instead which I think is way better!

I was going to post the recipe but there’s not enough to it. All you need to do is scoop the flesh out of a papaya and rub the skin over your own to exfoliate. Then you can use the mashed up bits of fruit as a face mask. Optionally you can add some natural yogurt for some extra skin-refining acid and bacteria. Leave on for 20 minutes, sit back, chillax and enjoy!
