4 benefits of using papaya skincare products

1. Unclog pores

Papaya contains enzymes papain and chymopapain which helps to remove dead skin cells and reduce inflammation.  You can find papaya enzymes in many face washes or exfoliating products.

The papaya is naturally rich in AHAs, these acids remove skin impurities, and brighten and smooth your complexion. By unclogging your pore and anti-inflammation, it can prevent and treat acne.

2. Lighten skin discolouration

Papaya is high in enzymes, vitamin A and C which can lighten pigmentation, dark spots or acne marks.

3. Repair wounds

A 2021 study shows that Papain can be used in hydrogel and applied to skin wound healing. This hydrogel can prevent excessive collagen deposition and hyperplastic scars (caused by deep burns or scald).

Also, another study also shows that Papain helps the wound healing process with certain concentrations due it has antibacterial properties.

4. Anti-aging

As Papaya contains antioxidants like Vitamin C and lycopene, it can prevent our skin from sun damage and maintain skin elasticity.
