INDEX PAPAYA PUMPKIN FACIAL
If you have visited spas and resorts in
exotic locales such as the Pacific Rim, Bali, Hawaii, and Tahiti, you've
probably seen an esthetician select and mash fresh fruit in front of you for a
fresh-on-the spot enzyme mask. It's easy to recreate this mask at home -- we've
found a Balinese mask for you which will leave your face fresh and glowing.
2/3 cup fresh papaya, mashed 15 oz. can pure pumpkin 1 egg, beaten
1. Prepare the mask. Cut the papaya in half and scoop out the seeds. Scoop
out the papaya fruit and mash it well to eliminate lumps in the mask. Beat the
egg until it is frothy. Combine that with the papaya. Add the pumpkin to the
egg/papaya mixture and whip together. You can also mix the ingredients in the
blender or a food processor for an extra smooth mask.
2. Prepare your
face. Wash with your daily cleanser and remove all residual makeup on your skin.
Rinse with warm water. It's very important to have clean skin to ensure you get
maximum benefits from the facial.
3. Apply the Mask. Cover your entire
face, being careful to avoid the immediate eye area. If you have sensitive skin,
test the mixture on your hand before spreading it on your face. You'll feel some
tingling as the enzymes in the pumpkin go to work immediately -- gently
exfoliating your top layer of skin. It works like a scrub without being abrasive
to your skin. Leave the mask on for 10 minutes.
4. Rinse Off Mask. After
you've relaxed for ten minutes it's time to rinse. The mask is fairly thick --
head for the kitchen sink.
5. Apply Toner & Moisturizer.
