Face mask recipe

I randomly watched some cooking/hippy/sustainability show last weekend and they had a recipe for a facemask made from fruit and things. The presenter kept referring to kiwifruit as 'kiwis', which led to some amusing sentences. Apparently, Kiwis come from a similar climate to the UK, can do really well if you put them in a south-facing area, and have to be mashed properly.

He got halfway through the recipe before I thought to write it down, so bear in mind it's a tad vague. Have a play around with the order that you mix the ingredients (like you would with most recipes) to get it to work right for you.

Fruity Facemask

Ingredients:

• 2 limes. You'll use their juice.
• 2 kiwifruit
• 1 papaya
• 1 smallish packet of gelatin

Method:

1. Crush and mash the kiwifruit.
2. Scoop out the flesh of the papaya and mash it. Put it in a separate bowl from the kiwifruit.
3. Double-boil the papaya on the stove, and stir in the gelatin. (I think... the presenter was a little unclear on this step). Not sure what temperature, but have a play.
4. Take the papaya mash off the element once it has been heated.
5. Gradually stir the lime juice into the papaya. Keep whisking the papaya so it doesn't set.
6. Mix the kiwifruit mash in with the papaya mash.
7. Let the mixture cool and set before you apply it.

Leave on for:

10 minutes - 1 hour. Always spot-test your skin first, in case of allergies.

Lasts for:

2 days. Keep refrigerated in a jar or other closed container.
