Pumpkin Papaya Facial Submitted by: PeachScrub | Date Added: 14 Oct 2009 | Listed in: Face / Face Mask

2/3 cup fresh papaya, mashed
15 oz. can pure pumpkin
1 egg, beaten

Prepare the mask
1. 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.

Apply the Mask
1. 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.
2. 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 much 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 so rinse it with water.
5. Apply Toner & Moisturizer.
