AHA Skin-lightening Mask

Yields: enough for one application

Application: use once a week for 6 weeks.

Ingredients:

1 fresh papaya, peeled, seeds removed, cut into small cubes

½ fresh pineapple, peeled, cored, cut into small cubes

1. If you have a juicer that has a setting for soft fruit, this will be perfect for extracting the juice (you also don’t need to peel or core the fruit)
2. If not, crush the fruit cubes with a mortar and pestle and then press through a sieve to extract the juice.

How to use:

Saturate a cotton pad or ball in the juice and apply to your décolleté, neck, and face in upward strokes. Leave the juice to dry for 15 minutes, then rinse off with warm water and moisturize as usual. A tingling sensation is normal, as the acids are clearing away those dead skin cells. If the sensation becomes too much, rinse it off sooner.
