Papaya a wonder fruit for skin

If you take a close look at the ingredients of cosmetics lying on the supermarket shelves, you are bound to notice that at least a few of them have papaya extract. A rich source of vitamin C and B, papaya is also a good source of minerals and fibre. The pulp is often used as a key ingredient in face washes and hair shampoos.

Here are a few benefits of the humble yellow fruit:

A Papaya mask will not only prevent acne but also remove the scars left behind by pimples

A papaya face pack can delay ageing. Papaya kills dead cells on your skin to keep it soft and looking young.

Sprinkle a few drops of lemon juice and honey to fresh papaya juice and apply it over the skin. This helps remove tan.
