Papaya is known to be rich in vitamins A, B, and C. It also contains chymopapain and papain, which are enzymes that offer antiviral, antifungal, and antibacterial properties. When it comes to skincare, papaya can defend against wrinkles and signs of aging with lycopene antioxidants. Pumpkin has the power to penetrate deep into skin to provide many benefits. It's full of antioxidants, Vitamin A and Vitamin C, that both help to soften and soothe dry skin. Pumpkin also boosts collagen production which keeps skin from looking cracked and scaly. Moreover, pumpkin has the highest content of naturally occurring vitamin A (which helps minimize acne scars), salicylic acid (helps to reduce acne), and beta carotene (helps decrease wrinkles & dark spots). In addition, its high zinc content helps keep your skin protected from UV rays.
