Papaya For Acne Prone Skin - The Tropical Fruit That Does Wonders
By Ryan Cote
Over sixty million Americans today have the
skin condition known as acne. Acne is a non-contagious skin and inflammatory
disease that affects the pores covering the face, chest, arms and
back along with the oil glands attached to them. Too much oil, known
as sebum, is produced by the sebaceous gland and causes a course and
greasy complexion. When the pores holding our hairs get blocked by
oil and dead skin cells, eruptions called acne pimples are formed.
An effective ingredient in skin care is papaya (Carica papaya, also
known as powpow) because it exfoliates damaged and dead skin cells.
Exfoliating the skin removes the cells that cause clogged pores that
can result in skin eruptions. The fruit, seeds, skin and leaves of
the papaya are all rich in essential enzymes that give this fruit
outstanding topical medicinal properties for the treatment of skin
conditions. Studies done in the West Indian Medical Journal confirm
the healing abilities of papaya and its capability to rejuvenate and
repair the skin.
Different parts of the fruit contain various essential enzymes that
act similarly to restorative and preventative medicines. The leaves
of the papaya contain alkalide capain, the seeds have cericin and
the fruit itself has a protein dissolving enzyme called papain.
The most research has been done about the enzyme papain, which has
been proven to whiten and soften the skin, and has been effectively
used to heal wounds and insect stings. The juice of raw papaya has
been shown to be beneficial in the treatment of swollen acne pimples
and prevents pus formation. Papain has also been shown to be helpful
in removing brown spots due to sun exposure, lowering inflammation,
alleviating edemas and even improving healing from burns. Further,
because papain enzymes are quite effective in dissolving fats to purge
the skin and make it feel softer, they are a viable ingredient in
many beauty products today. Removing lipids from the surface of the
skin prevents clogged pores and the subsequent development of pimples.
Papaya is not just a tasty tropical fruit. The leaves, seeds, skin
and fruit the papaya contain essential enzymes that can restore and
rejuvenate the skin naturally so that you look and feel great.
