1. Exfoliates Dead Skin
Papaya acts as an exfoliating agent that helps get rid of dead skin cells and eventually evens out your skin tone. Once the layer of dead skin is removed, your skin will automatically renew new cells, leading to a clearer and even skin tone.

2. Fights Acne
Acne is a problem that we all have dealt with at some point in our lives and we truly hate those sudden flare-ups! Papaya helps in decreasing inflammation and redness, thereby clearing up the skin and unclogging clogged pores.

3. Brightens The Skin
Papaya comes with the goodness of vitamin C which is eventually a great way to brighten up your skin thereby removing all blemishes and improving the texture.

4. Repairs Damaged Skin
Damaged skin can be a cause of many skin issues. Papaya is rich in antioxidants, such as lycopene that help in combatting signs of ageing such as wrinkles.

5. Detoxifies The Skin
Our skin needs detox too and papaya happens to be a great ingredient for the same. It helps in soothing and calming the skin, thereby giving you fresh and nourished skin in no time.
