PAPAYAS: THE SKIN SUPERFOOD

Papayas are the perfect combination of a delicious fruit with amazing taste and numerous health benefits.

Among its benefits for your skin include reducing possible skin inflammation. Papayas contain the vitamin choline, an important and versatile nutrient that helps maintain the structure of cellular membranes, preventing inflammatory breakouts in the skin.

Papayas are high in vitamin C and beta-carotene that also aid your body in preventing inflammation. Papayas actually contains more carotene than apples, guavas and plantains.

Also contained in papayas are papain and chymopapain, enzymes that help lower inflammation and improve skin healing from burns. Papain also breaks down dead skin cells and help promote skin renewal, resulting in a more youthful appearance of your skin.

Papaya extracts are used for many skincare products like lotions, creams and soaps as papayas can also be used as an exfoliating agent for your face. Besides that, this fruit can also be utilized to help whiten the skin to cover up blemishes.
