Homemade Fruit-Acid Facial

For an inexpensive pick-me-up for your face - buy a papaya, cut it in half, eat the insides and then rub the inside of the fruit peel on your face. Leave for ten minutes then rinse off.

Your face will feel wonderfully clean and smooth - a proper, fruit-acid facial for about one dollar AND you get to eat the waste product! I've only tried this with papaya, which is supposed to be the best, but a friend tells me that mango and strawberries also work well.
