Collagen is a primary skin component that keeps the skin healthy and enhances skin elasticity. Good collagen helps to reduce wrinkles and increase skin hydration. Other antioxidants in papaya inhibit the production of free radicals and thus serve as an anti-ageing agent. It can also help in giving a natural shine and better texture to your skin," Dr Thansiha, who is one among the Best Dermatologist in Bangalore added.
