Skin care: DIY papaya face packs for dry, oily and normal skin

Make use of these natural face packs and get a glowing and radiant skin
 

All of us wish to have a clear and glowing skin. However, with increasing temperature and pollution, it gets quite difficult to achieve the same. In order to have a soft, supple and nourished skin, a lot of people end up spending their hard-earned money in parlours. The beauty treatments in parlours might get a glow on your face; however, the products that are used are loaded with various chemicals.

If you wish to have a glowing skin, without any chemical-interference, then it's time for you to bring papaya to your rescue. This humble fruit is not only tasty, but also a powerhouse of various essential vitamins and minerals. Papaya is abundantly rich in potassium, which has the tendency to hydrate dry and dull skin.

You can use papaya in the form of face packs. They are easy-to-make and won't take much of your time and effort. Be it dry, oily or normal skin, here's a list of 5 papaya face packs that can do wonders for it. Read on to know more about them.

For Dry Skin:
Papaya and Honey Face Pack: This combination of papaya and honey can do wonders for people who have dry skin. Honey can nourish the skin to a great extent, whereas, the enzymes present in papaya pulp unclog the pores and deep clean your skin. For this face pack, you'd require 1/4 cup of ripe papaya pulp, 1/2 teaspoon of honey and 1/2 teaspoon of lemon juice. Mix all the ingredients till a thick consistency is attained. Once it is done, apply it on your face evenly and allow it to dry for 10 minutes. Rinse off with cold water and watch out for results. You can repeat this procedure every alternate day.

For Oily Skin:
Papaya and Orange Face Pack: If you have an oily skin, then this face-pack is perfect for you. This is primarily due to the presence of orange in it, as orange is a natural astringent that can reduce oil on the skin. The combination of these two ingredients could keep pigmentation spots at bay. Take a bowl and add ripe papaya extract and 3 tablespoons of orange juice in it. Mix well and apply it on your face. Allow it to stay for 15 minutes and rinse it off with water.

For Normal Skin:
Papaya, Banana and Cucumber Face-Pack: If you are longing for a nourished and glowing skin, then this one's for you. This face pack is made of banana, cucumber and papaya, and can give your skin a refreshing, hydrating and soothing effect. All you have to do is to blend these three ingredients together to form a thick paste. Once this is done, apply it on your face and neck evenly. Let it rest for 10-12 minutes and rinse off with lukewarm water. Pat dry with a clean towel and apply moisturiser on your skin.
