Have you heard of enzyme peeling but don’t know how it differs from the classic kind? Read on to find out why women around the world have fallen in love with it and how to incorporate it into your routine correctly.
What is enzyme peeling?
Enzyme peeling is a gentle form of exfoliation that uses natural enzymes — most commonly from papaya (papain) or pineapple (bromelain) — to dissolve dead skin cells. Unlike mechanical peels, it does not work abrasively, making it suitable for sensitive skin as well.
How does it work?
Enzymes specifically break down keratin — the protein that dead cells on the skin’s surface are made of. The result is instantly smoother, brighter, and better-circulated skin without irritation.
Who is it suitable for?
- Sensitive and reactive skin
- Skin prone to redness
- Oily skin with enlarged pores
- Mature skin in need of brightening
How should you use it correctly?
- Apply to dry or slightly damp skin
- Leave on for 5–10 minutes
- Rinse with lukewarm water
- Follow with a moisturizing cream
- Use 1–2 times a week
Tip: After peeling, your skin is more sensitive to the sun — don’t forget to use SPF!
