Papaya is fruit which has the power to fight with the free radicals present in our skin. Thus papaya helps to get rid of the age spots, wrinkles etc. A mask made out of papaya will help us to clean to skin by removing the dead cells and thus gives us a fresh look.

For beautifying our skin we have to use a fully ripe papaya because raw papaya contains enzymes and it may produce a burning sensation.
