WHAT IS AN ENZYME MASK AND HOW DOES IT WORK?

One of the benefits of using enzyme-based products is that they do not damage or remove live skin cells. They exfoliate only the dead cells, which is a big reason why enzyme-based products are suitable for nearly all skin types. The top layer of skin is primarily made up of a protein called keratin, enzymes break up and remove the dull, dry, damaged keratin cells and impurities which leaves you with softer, smoother skin. Enzymes are naturally derived from Fruit and are natural chemicals that provide a thorough exfoliation but are usually more gentle than other scrubs or microdermabrasion treatments.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF AN ENZYME EXFOLIATION FOR MY SKIN?

Enzyme exfoliating masks or peels offer many beauty benefits for the skin! When the skin is effectively exfoliated, you enjoy brighter, more radiant and clearer looking skin.

Here are a few ways an enzyme exfoliating mask can improve your skin:

• Promotes even skin tone
• Reduction in breakouts
• Smoother skin with fewer lines and wrinkles
• Clear pigmentation
• Firms and tightens
• More youthful complexion

Celebrities swear by enzyme exfoliating masks or peels because they are an excellent defense against the signs of aging because they help to stimulate cell turnover, promote increased collagen, and help soften and smooth existing fine lines and wrinkles. Enzyme exfoliating masks or peels help to unclog pores allowing for better absorption of any products you apply after. This is the perfect time to apply a nutrient-rich serum full of antioxidants, as it will penetrate deep to target all your skincare concerns!

For most skin types, we recommend doing a mask once per week.

Rinse thoroughly, pat dry and follow up with a moisturizer, or sunscreen if heading outdoors.
