Why Papaya Seed Oil Is Skin Food

When it comes to the wide array of fruits and vegetables that we have access to, many of us are aware of the tremendous benefits they provide for our bodies when we incorporate them consistently into our diet. What some may not know is if there are certain fruits or even parts of a fruit that may contain even more of a nutritional benefit.

In this case it is papaya seeds. That's right, those black seeds that are usually discarded after you open up a papaya are incredibly good for the skin. So much so that it's available in oil form to easily incorporate it into your daily skin-care routine. Here's exactly how papaya seed oil can do wonders for your skin.

Gives You A Glow

Thankfully this oil does such a good job at bringing that radiant light back to your complexion. Because of the fatty acids, minerals and vitamins latent in the papaya seeds it does a fantastic job of clearing the dead skin cells that accumulate on the face. It also is known to help get rid of the sebum your face naturally produces. If you have oily skin, you're likely familiar with sebum. It's the oil that makes your skin look like light mist is coating it. The type of glow that results in the use of this oil isn't greasy or slick.

Works With Sensitive Skin

If you have the type of skin that always reacts to different products or you aren't surprised when you experience weird skin symptoms, you'll breathe a sigh of relief when you realize that this oil is great for skin that tends to be very reactive. Due to its anti-inflammatory markers, it is known to both soothe and calm skin naturally. So even in the midst of your skin being in a somewhat non-irritated state, the oil helps to keep those reactions under control.

Acne

One of the issues with acne that isn't discussed as much as it should be is that of scarring. Even after your face clears up and you aren't dealing with those pesky breakouts, oftentimes the scars that acne leaves behind can be almost as devastating and hard to manage as the breakouts themselves. Papaya oil is a fantastic way to fight off acne. It creates the perfect environment for them to thrive - as well as help to mitigate and lessen scars - along with the antibacterial and antibiotic properties that help to ensure the face is properly clean and not an easy target for new breakouts.

Soothes Skin Conditions

If you are struggling with difficult skin conditions such as psoriasis or eczema, this is a great oil for you to have on hand. Generally when your suffer from a flare up with these types of autoimmune conditions, the inflammation can be downright painful. Papaya seed oil will feed your skin with the necessary vitamins and nutrients it needs to heal and it will shortly return back to its unaffected state.
