Our skin is steadily sloughing off dead and damaged cells, so new and healthy ones take over. As we age, this process slows down and the ac-cumulated layers of dead skin grow thicker and stiffer. The skin begins to crease easily, forming fine lines and building up deep wrinkles.
The softening and breaking down of impacted layers of dead skin can be accomplished very efficiently by a protein dissolving enzyme called papain, found only in papaya. This papain is at the peak of its enzy-magic activity before the papaya ripens, when fruit is still green. This powerful enzyme dissolves the dead and damaged cells readily, while leaving new and healthy ones intact.
From this very unique property of the green papaya enzyme, a great skin care breakthrough was developed.
