Stress is an inevitable part of the busy, fast-paced world we live in. It weighs on us and shows in our faces. Unfortunately, not all of us have the funds for a fancy facial or a store-bought facial mask to help alleviate the visual signs of stress. Lucky for you though, we dug up a homemade facial mask recipe from Daisy Tang, founder of Aspara Aromatics, and it's not just any ol' home facial mask, but a papaya facial mask (yup, we've gone tropical on you). Papaya has enzymes in it similar to alpha hydroxy acid, which helps minimize wrinkles, and in turn will make you look less stressed. To boot, while you apply this facial mask, you can close your eyes and pretend you're on an island somewhere far, far away from life's craziness.

In addition to being wallet-friendly, this homemade facial mask is super easy to make. In fact, it only involves three ingredients: oatmeal, honey and -- wait for it -- papaya. You most likely have the first two in your pantry, right? So all you need to do is pick up the latter from your local market.

Here's how to make a homemade facial mask:

Directions: Mix all of the ingredients together. Spread mask all over your face and leave on for 10 minutes. Then, rinse off the homemade mask with warm water.
