Description:
Fruits have always played an instrumental role in alleviating all our health concerns, not only by their consumption but if incorporated into your skincare regime, they can do wonders for your skin! Papaya is one such versatile fruit which contains about 300% of the recommended daily value of the immune-boosting Vitamin C. It is, therefore, even interesting to note how beneficial it can be for our skin! It is also rich in beta-carotene and antioxidants that protect your skin from radical damage.
Nowadays, the market is flooded with products jam-packed with papaya extracts. These products always remain widely demanded and wildly popular and cater to both skins as well as hair health needs.
Papaya is beneficial for anything and everything, it caters to every skin-related problem, from minor blemishes to serious skin ailments. It is loaded with several vitamins for glowing skin like Vitamin A and C as well as several minerals. Papaya contains an enzyme called papain which is a wondrous ingredient to heal skin and increase collagen secretion. Collagen is important to keep the skin healthy and supple and using a product loaded with papaya helps in the reduction of wrinkles and deep hydration of the skin.
Other enzymes present in papaya act as great antioxidants helping with premature anti-ageing and moisturising by reducing the generation of free radicals.
Papaya Scrub Benefits:
1. Controls acne and blemishes:
Our papaya scrub contains enzymes like papain and chymopapain which helps to reduce acne by soothing the inflammation of the skin. An accumulation of dead skin cells and contaminants often clogs pores and forms little bumps from beneath the surface which we call acne and can be removed using their vitamins for skin acne.
2. Works as a deep exfoliator:
Any scrub that contains the goodness of papaya is superior to any other cleansing product as it not only exfoliates the skin but along with exfoliation, provides the necessary moisture and hydration to the skin. One such example is the Papaya Scrub by The Wellness Shop. It eliminates dead and damaged cells, tissues and debris from under the skin’s surface and promotes healthy skin.
3. Helpful natural remedy for skin diseases:
Apart from eliminating the harsh effects of daily pollutants, papaya scrub also prevents as well as treats skin conditions like dry patchy skin, eczema or psoriasis. In such skin ailments, excess use of pharmaceutical products may cause the skin to turn red and itchy and this is when it becomes crucial to reduce the impact of chemicals on the skin and resort to something natural to soothe the skin.
4. Removes hyperpigmentation:
Indian skin is typically prone to hyperpigmentation due to constant exposure to the sun which causes excess melanin production in certain areas of the skin. Using good papaya is a good remedy to treat such hyperpigmentation and keep it at bay.
5. Controls premature anti-ageing symptoms:
In the modern world, with the daily environmental factors being harsh to our skin, Papaya contains an enzyme called lycopene and vitamins for skin elasticity which prevents premature signs of ageing like fine lines and wrinkles. According to some recent studies, the antioxidants in papaya help to fight free radical damage, and prevent collagen loss with age, yielding smooth and youthful skin.
6. Skin moisturisation:
Papaya scrub not only exfoliates the skin but provides a deep moisturisation by seeping deep into the multiple layers of the skin and removing the dryness and flakiness of the skin in people who have dry skin.
7. Enhanced collagen production:
Collagen is an important factor to restore skin elasticity which prevents premature signs of ageing like fine lines and wrinkles. Since papaya is enriched in papain extracts and beta carotene antioxidants, it acts as collagen-rich food for skin and hair which guarantees healthy skin.
