Fruit Face

I decided to experiment with my face for the sake of science...I saw this Face Mask recipe originally on Grow Your Own Drugs(I know it sounds bad) Anyway, it's a tropical mask that gets rid of dry skin. Normally, I would just go get microdermabrasion. But this seems WAY cheaper and easier. So here's what you need:
1/2 a kiwi
1/2 a papaya
juice from 1/2 a lime
1 packet of veg. gelatin (i used regular)


Cut the kiwi in half and peel. Mash it through a sieve into a bowl. Add juice from 1/2 a lime. Next, cut papaya and scoop out the seeds and peel. Mash that through a sieve into a different bowl with the gelatin. Heat over a saucepan of boiling water for 3 mins or until it is sort of a runny gel. Remove while still stirring and SLOWLY add lime and kiwi juice. Let cool(luke warm) and apply to face. (No, I'm not adding a picture of this) Leave on for 20 mins to an hour. Wash off with warm water.

Okay, so I did all that and here's my thoughts. IT WORKED! My skin is seriously smoother. After 20 mins or so the mixture gets hard. I left mine on for 40 mins. Here's a tip though, watch out for any cuts. My son scratched my neck and the lime juice got in there and stung! Obviously watch out for your eyes too.
