Pumpkin Papaya Face Mask Recipe

 

 

By Tiffany Moore

 

Pumpkin isn't just for Thanksgiving; you can actually use pumpkin to make facial masks at home. Pumpkin is an excellent face mask ingredient for all skin types, especially damaged or sensitive skin. Since it is rich in Vitamin A and C as well as Zinc, pumpkin will heal and soothe while moisturizing even the driest skin.

This pumpkin face mask recipe also calls for papaya and egg. The egg helps bind the mask together, nourishing and lifting the skin while the papaya offers exceptional enzymes and nutrients to the face.

 

Pumpkin Papaya Mask Recipe

Ingredients:

⅔ cup fresh papaya

15 oz. can pure pumpkin

1 egg

 

How to make pumpkin and papaya face mask

1. Cut the papaya in half and remove the seeds. Scoop out the papaya flesh and mash it well in a bowl. Make sure there are no lumps.

 

2. Beat the egg until it's light and frothy. Add to mashed papaya.

 

3. Add pumpkin to the egg/papaya mixture and whip together. You use a blender or a food processor to help you get an extra smooth face mask. For dry skin, you may want to add 1 teaspoon honey.

 

4. Apply pumpkin mask to your entire face, avoiding the delicate eye area. Make sure you clean and remove all makeup before application. If your skin is sensitive, test the mixture on your hand first. You should feel some tingling as the enzymes in the pumpkin begin to work. This acts as a mild scrub, sloughing off dead skin.

 

5. Relax and leave the pumpkin facial mask on for about 10 minutes. Rinse off with lukewarm water.

 

6. Apply your regular toner and moisturizer to seal in moisture.

 

Use this relaxing homemade pumpkin papaya face mask, once a week, and it'll surely leave your face feeling fresh and glowing in no time!
