Need a quick summer pedicure? Rub papaya skins and pulp on the soles of your feet to soften skin and soothe cracked heels.

Papayas are rich in Vitamin A and papain, which breaks down inactive proteins and removes dead skin cells.
You can also use the peel as an exfoliating face mask.

Rub the skin over your face and leave for five minutes before washing off.

Be careful not to apply for too long, as the powerful juices in the peel can cause dryness.
