Papayas have gained popularity for their use in skin and hair products because they are rich in antioxidants that may defend against the visible signs of aging. A 2015 study indicated that much of the skin damage and wrinkling that occurs with aging can be attributed to excessive free radical activity. According to a later study, these antioxidants can help fight free radical damage which may help your skin remain smooth and youthful.
Acne Control
The enzymes papain and chymopapain in papaya can decrease inflammation. The protein-dissolving papain can be found in many exfoliating products. These products help reduce acne by removing dead skin cells that can clog pores. Papain can also remove damaged keratin that can build up on the skin and form small bumps. A 2017 study suggested that papain is a viable treatment for scarring.
