Papaya Anti-Wrinkle Facial

Anti-wrinkle treatments do not have to be expensive and they don't always have to take a lot of work. Try this revitalizing food facial to dose your skin with fruit enzymes, antioxidants, and nutrients. Rub the inside of fresh papaya skins on your face to promote skin renewal and a younger looking complexion. Papaya contains papain, an enzyme that helps to exfoliate the skin, removing dead skin cells. It also contains antioxidants, which protect cells from free radical damage and help the skin retain its elasticity.

To use this anti-wrinkle food facial simply rub the inside of the papaya skins on your face. For a more potent effect, open pores first by rinsing the face with warm water. Rub the skins on your face and neck for about one minute, focusing on problem areas. The papaya massage will have the added benefit of boosting circulation to the skin. This is not only great for your skin, but it is also relaxing. Try using it after a long day outside, especially if you've been in the sun. The dose of antioxidants is great for protecting the skin from damage and preventing wrinkles.

Try feeding your face with fresh papaya skins once a week. To really improve your skin, and your health, eat a fresh papaya each week when it is time for your anti-wrinkle facial. This sweet, musky fruit is packed with skin nutrients, including vitamins A, C, and E and potassium. I love to make it into a smoothie with banana and strawberries. It also tastes great when sliced and drizzled with fresh lime juice. Papaya is one of the best foods for your skin, especially when it comes to fighting wrinkles. Eat it, enjoy it, and feed your face with it.
