DIY Brightening Facial

Two weekends ago I made a DIY brightening mask with some papaya. Papaya can help get rid of dead cells. Compared to physical exfoliators (e.g. sea salt, scrub, etc) papaya is much more gentle because the exfoliation is of a chemical nature, hence best for sensitive skin.

Here is the recipeL:
- Over-ripe papaya that has been mashed up (I used 1/4 of a papaya from Waitrose)
- Honey
- Flour (I used rice flour to increase the impact of the exfoliation as the flour itself acts like a physical exfoliant - but their particles are so small that this is still a very gentle exfoliation mask)

Leave it on for 15 min. Bingo - glowy, bright, smooth skin ready to roll! =) xx
