how to use papaya on face - #21122

Vikram

I am really curious about how to use papaya on face because I've heard great stuff about its benefits for skin but honestly, I don’t know where to start. Few weeks ago, I got this really dry patch on my cheek that just won’t go away, and a friend suggested I try using fresh papaya as a remedy. The other day I bought a ripe papaya, and I thought I’d just mash it up, but then I got confused on how to use papaya on face! Should I apply it directly or mix it with something? I read that it can help with dryness and even rejuvenate skin, but I’ve got oily skin too, and I’m kinda worried it might make things worse. Also, how long should I leave it on? I don’t wanna overdo it and end up regretting it. Do I need to wash it off after a certain time or can it stay overnight? A few people told me about papaya enzymes being great for scrubbing off dead cells... is that true? I’m just feeling a little lost on how to use papaya on face effectively and safely. Could anyone suggest how to make the most of it? Thanks a ton!
