Zia Green/Fresh Papaya Enzyme Mask was my holy grail product for years. An all natural exfoliant, very effective, gentle. Its green & gooey and feels oily when you spread it on. I used to spritz with water part way through to keep it active. I was literally shocked at the result.
If you're allergic to that family of fruit, you may be prone to reaction. If not, just don't rub it in, and be extra gentle about how you apply (on damp skin) & rinse. Its got a bit of a kick with a small amount of citrus oil which makes it smell great, but I'd imagine may be iritating to some - 4th ingredient down after honey and before vit e, so sample first. And make very sure to use a good sunscreen afterwards!
They used to sell sets of samples, and you could keep buying those so it stays fresh. They may last up to 4 or 5 uses. Otherwise $45-50 the last I checked, but I'm in Canada and think its way cheaper in the states. It looks like $25?
* hmmmm, looks like they changed their ingredients around... |

| Yup, I really need to find a dupe of the original or find out how to make a papaya concentrate. I haven't used it in QUITE a long time since I thought between retin-a, cp's, vit c & microfibre and the occasional aha peel out of a bottle I was getting enough exfoliation - but today my skin looks and feels absolutely AMAZING!! |
