* Benefits of Using Papaya for Skin Lightening…

The main beauty ingredient in papaya is papain, a special enzyme. It helps with skin cell regeneration by providing excellent natural exfoliation. Through exfoliation, it lightens skin tone and reduces pigmentation to boost our complexion.

Papain comes with anti-inflammatory properties which help treat skin conditions, such as acne, rosacea, eczema, etc. Papain helps with skin exfoliation and removes the dryness to help us achieve smooth, soft and bright skin.

Papaya contains alpha hydroxy acids or AHAs. Together with papain, they help exfoliating the skin and break down the bonds between dead cells. This helps the skin to become softer, smoother and brighter.

Another reason for using papaya is its ability to reverse aging. Aging is another factor responsible for skin pigmentation.

Papaya contains lycopene, which has anti-oxidant benefits. It fights off the free radicals and protects our skin from various damages, including skin darkening.

Papaya is rich in beta carotene, which can boost skin cell regeneration and result in healthy, spotless skin.
