Living Rawesome Papaya Facials and Avocado Hair Masks
3 things made me realize that a papaya facial was well in order for me. I was looking in my bathroom mirror one night and decided that my skin was looking dry and worn out. I thought I want a facial but there are too many chemicals in the masks at a salon.
The next morning before I went to work, I was looking at my new Ani Phyo book that I received from Amazon. The very page I opened was talking about papaya and how it is an excellent exfoliater. I thought, wow if that isn’t synchronicity, what is? I checked my email before work and I received an email about different fruits that are important to eat and use. And wouldn’t you know it.. it mentioned a study done on 14 different fruits commonly eaten in Mexico to determine their ability to halt breast cancer cell growth. Papaya was the only fruit studied that halted breast cancer. I was so excited after seeing this in one day that I knew that I had to do the papaya facial. That day after work I went to visit my mother and she was watching a talk show The Doctors and at the end of it they were showing papaya facials. I couldn’t believe it.
I asked Sarah, Erica and Destiny if they wanted to do the papaya facials . So we planned for it that weekend. Destiny mentioned how avocado would be great for our hair. We bought some avocadoes and a papaya, met over Sarah’s house and we got busy before the drum circle.
Here she is opening the beautiful papaya. She thought it would be neat to take out the seeds and make a dish that looks like escargot. The seeds will definitely help you if you are having problems with bowel movements. I passed on trying them.
We all did avocado and papaya and relaxed on the floor. Erica found some soothing music and we just hung out and chatted. After 20 minutes I washed my face with Dr. Bronner’s peppermint soap. HOW REFRESHING!! I washed my hair and boy the avocado was not good for my hair. I had to put 3 different products in my hair so I could get a comb through it. I will definitely do the papaya facial again! It was so invigorating! Once a week would be great!!
