A papaya peel helps to "digest" dead skin on the face.

Skin-care expert Lisa Sinoway dishes the dirt on cleaning the face.

Papaya Peel

Ingredients:

1/2 papaya, mashed
1 cup yogurt with acidophilus

Preparation and Use:

Mix ingredients well and brush lightly over the entire face. This peel can also be applied to the neck, hands, chest or back. Leave on for several minutes, then remove with a warm, damp washcloth. This peel will digest and remove layers of dead skin.

Mineral Scrub

Ingredients:

1 tsp. almond oil
1 tsp. sea salt
1 tsp. spirulina (sea kelp)
cucumber seeds (optional)
fresh-squeezed lemon juice (optional)

Preparation and Use:

Mix ingredients together and apply as a skin exfoliator / scrub on the hands and face. Add cucumber seeds if you have oily skin, acne, or "T-zone" problems. Add lemon juice for aging skin and brown spots.

Earth Mask

Ingredients:

1 Tbs. earth clay (available at health food stores)
1 tsp. aloe vera gel

Preparation and Use:

Mix ingredients well and apply as a mask on the face to rid the skin of oil and debris. Be sure not to forget the neck. Leave on until it dries, and the firming effect can be felt. Rinse skin with mineral water.
