Skin Lightening Papaya Face Mask

" What this my eye is seeing this days Eh....my mouth no fit talk am finish". Just yesterday while I was walking towards Aminu Kano crescent in Abuja I ran into an old coursemate of mine I use to know way back in the University. Linda that I know as confirmed blackie ...as in shiny ebony dark skin complexion girl "don turn to albino sorry oyibo overnight". I actually couldn't recognise her again, she was the one who identified me and introduce herself, before I knew it was Linda.

The craze for skin lightening and toning is the in-thing right now.....not bad anyway..IMO  .
They say "Whatever is worth doing at all is what doing well" If you want to be an albino overnight "biko" do it safely.Don't jeopardise the future of your skin with all these harsh chemical-loaded cream which are at the same time expensive.

This papaya facial mask whitens and lightens your skin naturally with no negative side effect now or in future, because it is natural and "will not bole a hole in your purse". You can get pawpaw from your (neighbour's) backyard.Check out my article on skin benefits of papaya here

Items needed to make the face mask:
1 medium sized ripe pawpaw(use 1/3 of the pawpaw,eat the remainder or refrigerate for next use)

1 tablespoon of plain unsweetened yoghurt

1 tablespoon of pure natural honey

1 teaspoon of pure olive oil(bottled Goya will do)

Preparation:

Mash papaya or pawpaw (all is the same thing) to a smooth paste.Add the plain yoghurt, honey
and olive oil. Mix everything together and set aside, face mask is ready.

Application:

Now prepare your face by washing with warm water(to open up the pores for the treatment to penetrate deeply into the skin) and dry with a towel.  Now using your hand apply the prepared mask
all-over your face, behind your ears and neck region. Leave it on for 20-30 minutes and then rinse off with cool water(it closes the pores). Follow-up with a good moisturizer, massage it on your face while its still wet to allow deep penetration into the skin. 

NOTE:Do this not more than 3 times a week for normal skin (twice weekly if you have sensitive skin) and if your skin is very sensitive to pawpaw please don't use this one, there are other suitable lightening facials for sensitive skin I will introduce to you in subsequent post. You should see a  noticeable difference in your complexion after few weeks of usage
