Ingredients for these recipes are usually edible; yogurt and papaya can make skin glow both topically and internally. This recipe for a Home Fruit-Acid Peel is from Dawn Gallagher's Nature's Beauty Secrets:
Many fruits contain AHAs, so pick from the following list: apple, grape, grapefruit, lemon, orange, papaya, mango, pear, pineapple, or tomato.

• Step 1: Peel, pit or core, and mash the fruit in a bowl. Add a few teaspoons of cream, buttermilk, or yogurt (all lactic acids), mixing & matching to find the best formula for your skin.

If your skin is dry, add a few drops of honey or oil to the mixture.

• Step 2: Apply to your face, leave on 10 - 15 minutes (if using papaya juice, leave on only 5 minutes).
• Step 3: Rinse with cool water.

GQ-tip: Best to use organic ingredients otherwise you could be applying pesticides to your skin.
