Hot Topic: Enzymes in Skin Care

What are enzymes?
Enzymes are used in every cell process in the body. They're considered a catalyst - they cause chemical reactions to happen.  For example, when waste products block the building of collagen, enzymes called collagenase are responsible for breaking down these byproducts.  Enzymes are considered proteolytic. They digest proteins.  In a facial treatment, enzyme powder is mixed with a "wetting" solution to the consistency of pancake batter, and then gently brushed onto the skin.  It must remain moist.  The enzymes dissolve different forms of cellular debris and buildup, leaving the skin soft, clearer and more receptive to any subsequent correction products.

The enzyme formulations combine bromelain (pineapple) and
papain (papaya).  Bromelain is an effective anti-inflammatory agent.  Papain is highly effective in removing keratin. 

When meeting new clients, I've noticed unnecessary problems resulting from the use of different enzyme products.  Their skin appears irritated, dry and very sensitive. 

Enzymes products must be used carefully under the constant supervision of a Skin Care Specialist, who can make adjustments according to skin type, age and lifestyle.  Using one product with active enzymes is sufficient to maintain nice skin exfoliation.  It may not suit your skin to use an enzyme product every day, and using multiple products can cause skin damage.  We don't want to over exfoliate our skin. We need to be gentle, caring and nurturing.  And remember, skin has its limits to collagen production, thickness, and reaction to the environment.  Love your skin!

In my treatment room I'm offering fresh enzyme peels made from different plants: Green tea, Papaya, Cocoa and more.
It's very effective and available in different strengths, appropriate to your skin type.

 I'm also have a highly effective fresh powder with 35% natural fruit mix that can be used on your feet, hands, and any body parts with rough skin. Try it! My pedicures last longer and my skin looks silky.
