SKIN POLISHING PAPAYA FACIAL

 

Weekends are always for chilling, relaxing, catching-up with friends, cheating on your diet with favorite food, or spoiling ourself with some shopping. But in all this we forget to pampering our skin and body which need the most of our attention.

I usually give my Sundays to myself where I use only homemade remedies with all-natural day-to-day ingredients. So, I thought why not share this homemade remedies and skincare tips with you lovely beauties. These are all tried and use by myself and family members with different skin types and age.

In this “Sunday Pampering “I will be sharing with you a remedy related to skin, hair etc. I hope you guys will love it and will try it out.

Today I thought I'll treat myself to a relaxing skin polishing papaya facial.  This facial is very unique and so easy to do. This facial consists of four steps and each step will have only one add-on ingredient other than papaya. Papaya is rich in antioxidants so; it helps fight off free radicals which are the major cause of premature aging of our skin.  

External application of papaya helps improve skin elasticity and prevents wrinkles. The enzyme papain found in papaya helps reduce inflammation so this facial is very good for acne prone skin. Stress can do bad things to our skin and health. Since all of us are going through a very stressful time now, a simple facial like this will help relax and calm you.  

For the facial, take a small piece of ripe papaya and cut into small pieces. Now grind the pieces using a mortar and pestle or in the mixer, strain to get smooth papaya juice.

For the cleansing liquid, take equal quantities of papaya juice and rose water in a cup, mix well. Now take a piece of cotton, dip in this cleansing liquid and wipe it all over your face to remove any dirt and grime. This liquid will help cleanse the skin very effectively.  

Now that we have removed all the dirt and grime from our face let us move on to step 2.

For this scrub, take a tablespoon of rice flour in a bowl. Add in enough papaya juice to form a paste. After using the cleansing liquid, you don’t have to wash your face immediately, use this scrub. To use, take the paste and apply it all over the face and neck, massage for a few seconds and then wash it off. This scrub will help exfoliate the skin very gently.

The third step is a massage with papaya gel. For the gel, mix equal quantities of papaya juice and pure raw honey. To use, take this gel and apply it all over the face and neck.  Massage for a few minutes in gentle upward strokes and then wash it off.  

Massaging with this gel will help improve blood circulation and will brighten dull skin. This gentle massage also will help you relax. After massaging, wash your face and then pat dry.

The final step is the face pack. For that take a tablespoon of gram flour in a bowl, add in papaya juice. Mix well, to use take the pack and apply it all over the face and neck. Wait for it to almost dry and then wash it off.

For doing this facial choose a place where you won't be disturbed, switch off your phone, light a candle, play soothing music and do it leisurely. I promise, after this facial your skin will be glowing and you’ll feel very relaxed.

Give it a try and let me know how you liked it.

With this my beauties it’s a wrap for this blog. Enjoy your weekend and don’t forget to love yourself.
