This is the reason why papaya is an active ingredient in many skincare and cosmetic products.<\/p>\n<p>Here are 5 ways papaya can be beneficial for your skin:<\/p>\n<p><b>1 . Evens The Skin Tone<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Papain in papaya helps lighten and brighten skin, due to its natural bleaching properties. The vitamin C present in papaya reduces sun damage. Papaya also helps remove impurities from the skin, and removes dead skin cells, visibly brightening the skin.<\/p>\n<p><em>How to use<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Mash 150 grams of ripe papaya, with juice from half a lemon; apply this on your face, neck, arms, hand, legs and feet. Leave on for 30 mins and rinse with cold water. Use this once a week to see results.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2 . Reduces Signs Of Aging<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Papaya helps hydrate the skin from inside and outside. Well hydrated skin shows fewer signs of aging, and papaya helps keep the skin, smooth and supple. Vitamin A in papaya helps reduce lines &amp; wrinkles and removes dead skin cells. Increase your intake of papaya to 2 times a week to reap benefits.<\/p>\n<p><em>How to use<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Mash 150 grams of papaya; mix with a spoon of honey and raw milk. Apply this mix to your face and neck. Leave for 15 mins and rinse with cold water. Use this mask twice a week for results.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3 . Reduces Acne<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Papaya helps unclog pores, reduce excess oil on skin, and heal acne due to its anti-septic, anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial and anti-parasitic properties. For reducing acne, use raw papaya both in your diet as well as for skin care.<\/p>\n<p><em>How to use<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Apply juice of raw papaya with a cotton ball to affected areas at least once a day. Leave on for 10 minutes and wash with cold water. Once a week apply a mix made with 2 spoons raw papaya paste, a few drops of lemon juice and a \u00bd teaspoon honey. Apply to affected areas and rinse with cold water after 15 mins.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4 . Heals Any Cuts Or Injuries<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Papaya aids healing of minor cuts and injuries. It helps heal, keep bacteria and microbes away, soothe the injury and help reduce scarring. Papaya is also great to heal burns.<\/p>\n<p><em>How to use<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Simply apply the flesh of a ripe papaya to the injury to help quick recovery.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5 . Reduces Unwanted Hair<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Papain in papaya is a powerful enzyme that can help reduce the growth of unwanted hair. The peel of a raw papaya is packed with this enzyme and is most effective in this form.<\/p>\n<p><em>How to use<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Rub the peel of a raw papaya to the areas with unwanted hair. Rub the peel gently for a minute and leave on for 15-20 minutes and rinse with cold water. Use daily to see results in 2-3 weeks.<\/p>\n<p>A word of caution though, papaya can irritate those with sensitive skin. A patch test is recommended before you use ripe or raw papaya for its skin benefits. Rub the peel of a ripe or raw papaya to the inside of your forearm and leave on for 10-15 minutes. If you feel discomfort, irritation, redness or rashes during the patch test, it is best that you do not use papaya on your skin.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-23572\" src=\"https:\/\/www.1mg.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/rsz_shutterstock_416937217.jpg\" alt=\"Online Purchase of Medicines\" width=\"630\" height=\"380\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[89,90],"class_list":["post-23564","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-live-well","tag-derma","tag-dermatological-disorders"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>5 Ways Papaya Can Improve Your Skin Health!
