How is papaya good for the skin?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Papaya contains vitamins A and C, both antioxidants that help fight infection. Vitamin C also helps to boost collagen production in your skin, so it can help prevent wrinkles and acne scars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It also contains enzymes that help to fight acne by breaking down dead skin cells on your face. These enzymes may also kill bacteria, making papaya a great way to reduce breakouts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How can you use papaya to fight acne?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As a fruit, it is eaten as a whole, or its juice is extracted and consumed. You may take a spoonful of fresh papaya pulp daily to help your body remove toxins and fight acne.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To use it as a face mask<\/a>, you can mash some ripe papaya into a paste and rub it on your face for 15-20 minutes before washing off with warm water. If you want an exfoliating treatment, mix freshly squeezed lime or lemon juice with the pulp of half-ripe papayas in equal parts (1:1) and apply the mixture on your face for 10-15 minutes before washing off with lukewarm water. For those who are allergic to citrus fruits, try out tomato juice instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make sure not to overdo rubbing as this might cause irritation on sensitive skin types like yours!<\/p>\n\n\n
