Fresh Hawaiian Papaya Spa Natural Facial Mask Treatment Recipe

This fresh Hawaiian papaya spa natural facial mask treatment recipe is for reducing enlarged facial pores and dry skin.

Fresh Hawaiian Papaya Fruit can do wonders for your body not only internally, but also externally. This embarrassingly simple fresh Hawaiian papaya spa facial mask, is used to treat enlarged facial pores. With repeated use, this facial mask will tend to make your pores look smaller, probably due to the removal of dead skin debris which can clog pores and stretch the pore walls of your skin.

This fresh Hawaiian papaya mask also has a slight bleaching action to help even out skin tone and will leave your skin with a wonderful healthy glow. Papain and Bromelain are protein-dissolving enzymes found naturally in papaya fruit and pineapple fruit. These enzymes help to dissolve and lift away dry scaly skin which over time, can build up  on your skin and leave a dull appearance.

Hawaiian Papaya Facial Mask Recipe and Directions

Mash approximately 1/4 cup of fresh Hawaiian papaya fruit with a fork in a small bowl.

Wrap a towel around your head then gently pat this juicy papaya pulp onto your face and neck with your fingers--the papaya mask tends to be a bit runny. Lie down and relax for 15-20 minutes with another towel behind your neck for support. Don't leave on the papaya mask on any longer than the recommended time.

You may feel a slight tingle on your face during this time but don't worry, it just means that the natural fruit acids are working.

Next, rinse your face with plenty of warm water followed by cool water. Follow up with your favorite facial moisturizer.

Note: This papaya mask treatment is recommended for all skin types except sensitive, irritated, sunburned, or windburned skin. The papaya mask can be used once per week. Do not store the papaya mask but mix as needed.

I love our Hawaiian island strawberry papayas but must admit I never tried it as a facial mask. Who cannot need a fresh facial glow?!!!!

Thanks for the comments everyone. You know that I usually like to post first hand information, but I have not tried this because I have sensitive skin!
