Papaya Rehydrating Mask
1 cup papaya (chopped, seeds removed) 
4 tablespoons honey 
2 egg whites 
3 tablespoons lemon or orange juice
Puree ingredients in a blender. 
Place in refrigerator until chilled and apply mask over face.
Relax and leave on for 10-15 minutes, then rinse.
Face Mask
2 medium, nicely ripe bananas (peeled)
2 tablespoons runny honey
1 fairly ripe peach (stoned and skinned)
2 generous tablespoons ground almonds
Finely ground oatmeal
Blend bananas, honey and peach together.
Bananas are excellent skin softeners
and have potent moisturizing properties.
Peaches cleanse but won't strip the skin.
Honey reduces redness and is excellent for all skin types.
Add the ground almonds and mix together.
Almonds help polish the skin and remove dead surface cells.
Add enough oatmeal to make a paste
that can be spread on the face and neck.
Apply the mixture gently to face and neck area,
being careful not to drag the skin.
Leave on for 10-15 minutes and remove with warm water.
- Make a facial mask home to face with sugar and oil.
1 tablespoon sugar with a few drops of olive oil,
for a gentle exfoliator for the face.
This can be mixed in larger quantities for full body exfoliation. 
- Make a facial mask home to face with honey and bananas.
Make sure bananas are not ripe. 
Mash 2 teaspoons of banana ash, 2 teaspoons of rolled oats,
1 teaspoon of milk and 1 teaspoon of honey.
After 10 minutes, massage your face.
Let stand for 5 minutes then rinse with warm water. 
How does the scrub? The bush, if enabled, a King of the hull.
The dead skin cells, which ad here slightly dried paste 
and the friction created when you gently rub away on your face.
The result is healthier skin and fresh. 
If your skin is dry and easily irritated,
do not wash more than once per day.
You risk stripping the skin's natural oils.
I recommends for cleaning non-irritating soap dish,
look for moisturizers that without light, without oil and water
based to maintain the skin barrier. 
For a bath of soft skin,
add 1 / 4 cup honey with water and 1 teaspoon lemon juice. 
- Make a facial mask home to face with apples or pears.
