Papaya as a skin exfoliant

Hyperpigmentation, DIY

What it does: Mashed unripe papaya applied as a face mask will remove dead, flaky skin.

How to do it: Mash some fresh papaya, unripe is better. Apply on clean skin as a mask for 20-30 minutes. Wash off with warm water.

Why it helps: Like pineapple, the enzymes in papaya (papain) is a natural BHA.
