½ of a small, ripe papaya
½ teaspoon calamansi juice
1 teaspoon honey
Scrape off the seeds and scoop the flesh of the papaya. Mix with the calamansi and honey and blend in a blender or mash well with a fork. Apply to cleansed face. Leave on for 10 minutes and rinse well.
Why it works: Papayas contain an enzyme called papain which helps gently remove dead cells and can produce a mild peeling effect. It is also a mild whitener. The juice from the calamansi contains natural alpha-hydroxy acids (citric acid) which aid in renewing the skin while the honey keeps the moisture in.
