Papaya is rich in vitamin A and C which keeps lines, wrinkles, dull skin at bay and gives the skin its firmness by producing more collagen. To make a pack, cut small papaya cubes and then add some honey and raw milk to it. Mash and mix well and then apply on the face and neck. Let your skin take in its benefits and then wash away with water. (Read: Try fruit face packs for glowing skin)
