It is packed with lycopene and vitamin C, which can act as antioxidants in the body. However, aside from eating pawpaw to get its benefits, we can also use it on our skin to give it that radiant and healthy look.

 

The following are the benefits of pawpaw and how to use it for healthy skin:

 

 

 

1. It can be used to clear away abnormal pigmentation, such as scars on your skin. It contains skin-lightening agents that can remove skin blemishes. It also contains some enzymes that can remove scales on the surface of your skin caused by dead skin cells.

 

 

 

It contains beta-carotene, which can improve the skin's complexion and make it radiant. Just cut out the pulp of fully ripe pawpaw and mash it into a paste. Rub it on those parts of your skin where you have scars or blemishes.

 

2. It can be used to prevent skin dryness. The antioxidants in pawpaw will leave your skin soft, hydrated, and healthy. Take the skin of the pawpaw and rub its inner part on your face in the morning. Allow it to dry and rinse off after 30 minutes.

 

 

 

3. The abundance of carotenoids in pawpaw can help in slowing down the process of skin aging by preventing damage caused by free radicals. They can improve the elastin and collagen of the skin so that they won't break down and cause wrinkles as we age.
