Papaya can do wonders for your skin and hair. Here are some DIYs hacks to use this super fruit

In addition to being a smoothie essential, papaya also has all components to become a mainstay in your DIY routine. The fruit is rich in papain, an exfoliating enzyme that can dissolve proteins. So, when applied topically, it can aid chemical exfoliation while unclogging pores and preventing dullness or acne.

The Vitamin C content in papayas helps to fight free radical damage, lightens dark marks, and supports the production of collagen and elastin. It’s even beneficial for the hair, as the enzymes can break down the dead cell build-up on the scalp to leave it healthier.
