DIY Papaya Face Mask

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
