How Does Papaya Whiten The Skin?
- Papaya has become known as a leading ingredient in skin whitening products because it contains papain, a natural enzyme that promotes skin renewal and cell turnover. It helps in exfoliating the skin to reveal newer cells, and has restorative properties that soften the skin. To maximize the benefits of papaya, use papaya soap to exfoliate as well as papaya lotion to moisturize your skin.
- Eating papaya may also aid in whitening skin and overall skin clarity. Papaya is rich in vitamins A, E and C, and other anti-oxidants that help in giving skin the moisture and protection it needs. The nutrients contained in the papaya fruit helps in the skin’s healing as well. In certain cultures in South America and Asia, papaya is eaten not only as a ripe fruit but also as a young, green fruit used in stews and soups. Papaya leaves are also sometimes mixed into some dishes as well. A ripe papaya fruit can also be made into shakes and smoothies, or eaten as a stand-alone fruit snack after meals.
- Complement a papaya regimen with other nutrients and ways to protect your skin, such as moisturizers and sunscreen. Regular care, maintenance and a good hygiene are components of naturally beautiful skin.
How to Whiten With Papaya
Papaya contains an enzyme that benefits the skin.
Papaya is an active ingredient in many commercial beauty products that are designed to lighten the skin. Papain, an enzyme contained in the papaya, will help to soften and whiten the skin, reducing the appearance of freckles and age spots. It also has exfoliation properties, removing dead skin. It is quite simple to prepare the papaya yourself. No special materials are necessary and you can have all of the benefits of commercially prepared papaya products at a fraction of the price. You will also have complete control over the quality of the ingredients. The papaya product you make yourself will be free of chemical additives.
Instruction:
- Choose a healthy papaya. It should be ripe, but not too soft. Try to find one without bruises. Peel the papaya and remove any seeds that might be present. Cut it into medium-sized pieces with a paring knife.
- Place the papaya pieces in a blender. Blend it at medium until it forms a thick, smooth mash. This should take up to 30 seconds.
- Wash your face and gently dry it. Do the same with any other area of your body that you wish to lighten. Apply the papaya paste directly to your face and other parts of your skin, avoiding the area close to your eyes. Leave it on for about 15 minutes.
- Rinse the papaya mash off your face with warm water. Pat your face dry with a clean towel. Then apply your usual face moisturizer.
- Repeat this process three times per week. After about three weeks you should notice some positive results

3. Apply the mask into cleansed face in 15 minutes away from the eyes.
4. After 15 minutes use a clean-wet towel then wipe gently to exfoliate the skin then wash with warm water. Pat dry and see the wonder result.
I was very impressed with the SKII Facial Treatment Essence (http://www.geocities.jp/hongkong_skii/index_e.htm), enough so that I have continued to use the product daily as part of my skin care routine after the test period. It’s a luxury purchase to be sure, but this is one of the best products that can really make a significant difference in your skin, and so worth every penny.
I applied the treatment each morning and evening after cleansing my skin and before moisturizer/primer and then makeup. Within just a few days I could see that my skin was much more supple and smooth – particularly in the t-zone. After about two weeks, I loved the beautiful glow my skin had – even without makeup.
