Enzyme skin peel
What is enzyme:
An enzyme is a chemical substance of living creatures, producing changes in other substances without being changed itself. They act as catalysts and influence metabolic processes, possessing the unique feature to enhance reactions without being changed themselves.
Enzymes are important nutrients and proteins, answerable for the biochemical processes that make fruits and vegetables become mature. The cells secrete enzymes, and they stimulate chemical alterations in other substances - improve digestive processes, which are the source of many problems. The activators or coenzymes in this difficult process are minerals and vitamins, so every life function is dependent on enzymes.
Enzymes speed up many biological reactions and without them, basic life wouldn’t be possible.
How does enzyme peel work:
Enzymes become popular in skincare and anti-aging. The skin is a great storage of enzymes. Some skin care products increase or prevent the activity of natural enzymes of the skin, and others consist of enzymes, co-working with the natural enzymes of the skin, which results to the skin youthfulness. Recent studies have appointed that enzymes are able to dissolve dead skin cells, creating a glowing and healthy complexion, also to obviate skin damage by struggle with free radicals.
Enzyme peel may be performed successfully with Fruit Enzymes. Different functions are fulfilled with Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs) and enzymes for exfoliation. Being used separately they complete each other. Enzymes destruct the dead skin cells and release newer skin gently, while AHAs (Glycolic Acid and Lactic Acid) action of loosening and detaching the dead cells is more harsh procedure and sometimes irritate the skin.
Different exfoliation methods such as Peels, Microdermabrasion and others have enjoyed the status of reliable and effective anti-aging procedure, however possessing the threat of skin irritation except those products with natural ingredients. Fruit Enzyme peels perform exfoliation with no harsh chemicals so that without irritation.
Those with sensitive to Glycolic Products skin are better to use Fruit Enzyme Products. Fruit Enzyme Products possess gentle action providing the similar results as the Glycolic Products. Fruit Enzyme products are excellent to be complemented by Glycolic Acid Products to keep the skin look better. Glycolic Peel can be performed once a week for the uppermost dead cells removal, and Fruit Enzyme Peel is better to be applied once a month to dissolve another layer of dead cells. Thereby the skin is being kept fresh and vital. If Glycolic Products no longer influence the skin, or it needs a higher concentration for optimal results, it’s possible to substitute this routine product by other one. Habitual for the skin product soon will stop influencing the skin as before, so to change products, e.g. by Fruit Enzymes, means to return the skin reactions and the normal results again!
Advantages of Fruit Enzyme peels:
Stimulating new Cell and Collagen Growth
Improving of skin Tone and Texture
Exfoliating dead Skin Cells
Improving the appearance of Fine Lines and Crepiness
Coping with Pigmentation abnormalities and Blotches
Harmless for sensitive skin
A sunscreen of SPF 15 or higher should be applied every day while using exfoliation products. Therefore during the facial skin renewal peels are the best alternative.
The matter of Enzyme Peels
The enzyme peels have been known for a long time but without real matter. A lot of products with papaya or green apple contain enzymes and are used by many people.
Papaya enzymes help to peel epidermal cells, in such a way renewing the skin. This is also peculiar feature of pumpkin, aloe Vera, and other fruits. Restorative enzyme peel is a procedure involving natural or chemical ingredients for exfoliation.
An Enzyme peel procedure allows stimulating young cell renewal, increasing the natural exfoliate process, and lessening stretch marks, scars, sun damage, aging spots and lines, and discoloration of the skin. Enzymes permeate the top tissue layers, purify pores and amend skin texture, elasticity and tone.
Even though, some enzyme peels contain acids or mechanical granules, natural enzymes are the best to avoid allergic reactions or irritation. In point of fact, strong chemicals as phenol may result in skin cancer or side effects.
The most optimal results from enzyme peels may be achieved by applying a thin layer, rather than a thick layer. Enzymes are best to be rubbing gently in circular motions. If performed regularly enzymes improve complexion in the short term after the application, but do not stop aging. Besides, procedures should be repeated after some time in order to cope with new damaged cells and keep fresh appearance.
Types of enzymes
Fruit enzymes are protein (keratin) enzymes, digesting dead skin cells on the skin surface, uncovering a smooth and fresh skin.
DNA Enzymes are derived from marine plankton, which lessen the side effects of sun damage and protect the skin from environmental stress.
Pumpkin Enzymes, containing even in the seeds, exfoliate dead skin cells and stimulate skin renewal.
Papaya Enzymes used in food assist digestive function and help to lose weight. Applied as exfoliants, they destruct dead skin cells.
Pineapple Enzymes
Being anti-inflammatory and containing the bromelain, they remove dead cells and make skin texture better.
Multi fruit enzymes
Enzymes from papaya and pineapple, mildly exfoliate, dissolving dull skin cells.
Who can use enzyme peels:
Enzyme peels are usually recommended to treat dark skin, acne type skin and sensitive type skin. These products work by dissolving dead cells layer without friction and don’t irritate the skin like mechanical exfoliators.
There are different types of skin care products which contain enzymes, for example you can choose some mask, cleanser, lotion, powder etc. to treat your skin.
Plant enzyme and Protease enzyme peels:
Enzyme peels usually contain Papain enzyme found in Papaya, Bromelain enzyme derived from Pine apple and Pumkin proteolytic enzymes.
Papain and Bromelin are the most widely used enzymes for skin care treatments. These two enzymes work by dissolving dead skin cells layer on the surface of the skin. Trere are also some other fruit enzymes can be used for the skin exfoliation, such as Citrus enzymes, Cocoa enzyme, Red Raspberry enzyme etc.
Another one type of the enzymes is the Protease enzymes. Using of the proteolytic enzymes is the newest form of the enzymatic skin exfoliation. These enzymes mimic the role of your own body’s natural protease enzymes and promote decay of the protein and dissolution of dead skin cells stimulating the cell renewal. This type of the enzyme skin peels work best when used every day and is suitable for all the skin types.
Enzyme peels can be used as an alternative to the AHA and BHA.
