Skin goes through a lot of factors like sun exposure, sweat, pollution, dead skin build-ups, etc which obviously makes them dull, rough, and also uneven. Even though we all tend to wash our face everyday at least twice, some deeper care is needed now and then for removing the impurities and restoring the skin freshness. This is where natural ingredients come into play, and one such is ‘Papaya Pulp Powder

Papaya, one of the magical fruits which beautifully refreshes skin when consumed or used for external application. At times, using pulp directly might seem to be messy. This is why we have curated our “Fruit Pulp Powder Collections”. Our Papaya Pulp Powder has the same goodness like using fresh fruits in terms of skin glow and exfoliating properties.

Why is Papaya Powder in Skincare a Hit?

This tan when it’s left untreated, they will stay for a prolonged period and make overall skin look darker and uneven.

In such case, using papaya powder helps and improve tanned skin appearance by:
