Just as Cleopatra used to bathe in sour milk to keep her skin smooth, tropical Asian women daub mashed, ripe papaya around their eyes to keep their wrinkles at bay. Due to the fruits mild exfoliating properties, the skin loses a layer and wrinkles appear less noticeable.
The enzyme contained in papaya works like an alpha hydroxy acid (a natural fruit acid that acts to remove the flaking cells on the skins surface) without the tendency to cause skin irritation.
