Luscious Papaya Body Butter HOME SPA Recipe

By Spa Lady on January 21st, 2007

I tend to be a big fan of papaya and I can tell you this is divine! Another great spa beauty tip!

Papaya contains an enzyme called papain that breaks down protein and thus is responsible for the fruit’s role as an excellent exfoliater. The fruit acids of the ripe papaya serve to slough off flaking, dead skin and leave the skin soft, polished and radiant.

This home spa recipe also calls for yogurt which also contains lactic acid to help restore the skins own natural PH and known for its wonderful conditioning effects.

1 ripe papaya, peeled and seeded

1/2 cup natural yogurt

2 tablespoons organic honey

In a blender just combine all of the ingredients and puree on medium to low speed for approximately 30 seconds or until smooth. Apply to skin and leave on for 15 to 20 minutes. Rinse off with a gentle cleanser and a splash of cold water.

Yummy for the face and almost good enough to eat. :)
