hi, i'm doing my concept paper about whitening products, especially those with papaya..

i would like to know how does papaya whiten our skin (or does it really whiten the skin?)

and how do experts say that green papaya is better than orange papaya when it comes to whitening the skin?

..i really need you help...can anyone here explain to me the "whitening wonders" of papaya? ....

and one more thing....why does people go for whitening products with papaya than those without it? is papaya really a big deal in whitening our skin?

i really need it for my paper..so help me...thanks...

Papaya contains an enzyme called papaine which helps in skin exfoliation. It's the same papaine enzyme that is used as meat tenderizer. Technically, papaya extract cannot be considered as a skin whitener because it does not suppress melanin formation. As an exfoliant, papaine accelerates skin turnover so there is this apparent lightening effect with newer, creamier skin on the surface. This effect though is shortlived if sunblock and melanin suppresants are not applied with papaya extract.

hmm well i dnt really kno but im currently using the orange papaya soap ive been searchin for it.. and just recently started using it... hmm they say the green one is better though.. so im planning to try that one next time and im gona look for the lotion too lol..

It really does NOT matter whether the papaine enzyme comes from green or orange or yellow papaya. What matters is the level of papaine enzyme in the product. Again, the benefit from papaya extract is exfoliation, not whitening.
