Try a refreshing papaya face mask. All you need to do is mash up half a papaya and apply to the face for 10 minutes. Papaya, a tropical fruit native to southern Mexico and Central America, is gentle and an effective skin polisher and smells delightful! It will nourish and keep your skin smooth. Snack on any remaining papaya–I hear it aids digestion.
