- 1). Buy powdered papain from a grocery, health-food store or online retailer. In a pinch, buy a plastic container of Adolph's Meat Tenderizer. The principle ingredient is papain.
- 2). Add your favorite hand or body lotion to a squeeze bottle or container with a pump dispenser, taking care to measure the amount in ounces.
- 3). Add 2 to 5 percent powdered papain by weight to the hand lotion (double the amount to 4 to 10 percent if using Adolph's Meat Tenderizer). For example, with 20 oz. of hand lotion, you would add 1 oz. of powdered papain for a 5 percent concentration, or 2 oz. of Adolph's Mean Tenderizer for approximately the same concentration.
- 4). Mix the papain thoroughly with the lotion using a metal spoon.
- 5). Use the lotion on hands and skin as an exfoliant to remove dead skin cells and to soften the skin. Lotion can also be used to clean and dry out acne, taking care not to get the lotion in the eyes.
