Papaya Clean Up

What is a papaya facial?
Basically, a facial that uses papaya as an active ingredient is known as a papaya facial. Papaya has many healing, whitening, and exfoliating properties, thus making it the ideal natural beauty enhancer. It also contains anti-inflammatory properties, as noted by the Journal of Immunotoxicology.

Benefits of getting this facial
Papaya is loaded with antioxidants that help to fight disease, reduce inflammation, and retain the youthfulness of your skin. However, a papaya facial offers several more benefits to your skin. 

Papaya is known to be rich in vitamins A, B, and C. It also contains chymopapain and papain, which are enzymes that offer antiviral, antifungal, and antibacterial properties. When it comes to skincare, papaya can defend against wrinkles and signs of aging with lycopene antioxidants. It can help control acne by removing dead skin cells and damaged keratin that clog your skin pores. It can also help treat melasma with its vitamins, phytochemicals, and beta-carotenes, giving the skin a lighter complexion.

As noted by the National Center for Biotechnology Information, papaya can help reduce oxidative stress. The papaya peel can also moisturize and soothe the skin, as per the International Journal of Herbal Medicine.
