May is here, and Papayas make your skin clear!

Sweet Papaya, I love you. You refresh my palette on an easy Sunday morning. Oh how I enjoy taking the time to prepare my papaya breakfast, the ritual of cutting the papaya in half and hollowing out the center,  vigorously squeezing a lime wedge over the fleshy orange crater... and finally scooping out your first bite. I find myself in a moment of bliss as I scrape the peel for the last juices that the fruit has to offer.


Papaya is a wonderful fruit with many purposes. When it is green, it can be used as a meat tenderizer. The enzymes that papaya contains (Papain) are used as a digestive aid as well. Of course Papaya is yummy to eat on its own as it is simply delicious. Papaya is an awesome contribution from nature to skincare. Have you ever thought about using it in place of your exfoliant? Using papaya (in addition to your skincare regimin) is a great way to rid your face of some dead cells, and leave you feeling refreshed!


When it comes to skin care, Papaya is a gentle and natural exfoliant! Papaya's Papain Enzymes dissolve the outermost keratinized layer of the skin, leaving pores free to breathe and cells to renew. Papain is a proteolytic enzyme which essentially means that it is a "protein eater"... it literally breaks down the bonds that link amino acids together. Resulting in a fresh, gentle and efficient exfoliation treatment for you to enjoy.

Fresh Papaya Peel

I love to make Peels with fresh fruit. I offer a fresh-made peel during my treatments For the month of MAY I will offer this Papaya peel with each treatment I give. I make each peel according to the skin type of my client.  I chose different ingredients based on the type of skin my client may have.  Things I may add include raw organic local honey, green tea, aloe, vitamin E, fresh organic lime, and fresh organic ginger. (It is always good to remember that your skin will eventually digest what has been slathered upon it.) The products that you put on your skin will enter your blood stream and  it is then up to your body's various systems to filter itself of these invading compounds. Why not think of your skin as another digestive system? Its a great way to preserve your skin's natural immunity and appearance for years to come.
