Papaya is a tropical fruit and can be found at most grocery stores or produce stands this time of year. The papaya is full of vitamins C and E, plus an enzyme that helps naturally exfoliate and smooth your complexion.

Here’s an easy DIY papaya facial mask:

• Peel and remove the seeds from one papaya
• Chop & mix in a blender until smooth
• Smooth paste over your face and neck (avoid the eye area)
• Let set for 15 minutes
• Rinse with warm water
• Moisturize
