Natural and Cooling Way to Even Your Skin Tone
If your skin tone is uneven from the sun or other environmental effects, papaya can give almost instant relief.
It’s cooling and soothing to the skin in its natural state. For an even faster effect, make papaya ice cubes and keep them ready in the freezer.
Tools and materials:
- Fresh or frozen papaya
- Knife
- Water
- Blender
- Ice cube tray
1. Papaya
I would always use a fresh, ripe papaya as a preference but out of season, use the frozen fruit and allow it to thaw.
Cut fresh papaya into small pieces.
2. Blend
Blend into a thick liquid. Add a little water if necessary.
3. Ice cubes
Spoon the liquid papaya pulp into individual ice cube trays and leave in the freezer until frozen solid.
4. Apply
Remove a single papaya cube from the tray.
Smooth it all over your face for at least 10 minutes.
Use a circular motion and don’t rub too hard.
When your face is completely covered with the juice, wash it off with lukewarm water and pat dry.
Add a little moisturizer or skin serum to finish the treatment.
Natural and cooling way to even your skin tone
As well as helping to heal sunburn, papaya has collagen-boosting properties. It also contains enzymes which aid in gently exfoliating the skin, leaving it smoother and more radiant.
Make papaya part of your natural skin care routine - you won’t regret it!
