Enzymes are a mild yet efficient method of exfoliating and revitalizing dull skin. Natural proteins that are typically obtained from fruits such as kiwi, papaya, and pineapple assist speed up the skin's natural exfoliation process without the harshness of chemical exfoliants or traditional scrubs.
Let's examine how enzymes function in Eminence Organics and the reasons why they are so important to your skin care routine.
What are Enzymes?
Enzymes are biological molecules (proteins) that speed up chemical reactions in the skin. In skincare, they come from natural sources like fruits and work to exfoliate, rejuvenate, and brighten your skin. They function by breaking down the keratin protein in dead skin cells, revealing a smoother and more radiant complexion underneath.
In order to prevent clogged pores and treat concerns like uneven skin tone, the development of dark spots, and the telltale indications of ageing, enzyme exfoliators gently dissolve the bonds binding dead cells to the skin.
The Benefits Of Enzymatic Exfoliation
Enzymatic exfoliation helps skin appear smooth, bright, and renewed. Enzyme exfoliation is highly recommended by skin care professionals for all skin types, even the most sensitive, as it offers a mild exfoliation of the skin's surface layer with relatively few adverse effects.
- Gentle Exfoliation (Even for Sensitive Skin): Enzymes provide a non-abrasive way to exfoliate, making them ideal for sensitive skin. They work effectively without causing redness or peeling that harsh scrubs or chemical exfoliants might induce.
- Brightens Dull Skin: Papain is one of the enzymes that can help lighten the skin by eliminating dead surface cells. Additionally, deeper penetration of later products—such as those containing antioxidants that enhance radiance—is made possible by the exfoliation enzymes.
- Improves Skin Texture and Pores: Regular use of enzyme-based products can help refine the texture of your skin, reducing rough patches and minimizing the appearance of enlarged pores.
- Diminished Appearance of Dark Spots: Dark spots can be effectively minimized by using enzyme exfoliators. They function by quickening the pigmented cells' turnover, which results in a more even skin tone and less noticeable discolouration.
- Improves Hydration and Moisture Retention: Enzyme treatments often contain hydrating ingredients that help your skin retain moisture, preventing dryness and flakiness.
Why You Need to Add Enzymes to Your Skincare Routine
- Ideal for Sensitive Skin: If your skin reacts to stronger chemical exfoliants like AHAs and BHAs, enzyme-based products are a perfect alternative. They provide a mild yet effective way to exfoliate without causing irritation.
- Anti-Aging Power: Enzymes not only exfoliate but also improve collagen production, helping to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles over time.
- Balancing Oil Production: By regularly removing dead skin cells, enzymes can also help to regulate sebum production, keeping oily skin under control without over-drying.
- Convenient and Quick: Enzyme masks or cleansers are typically easy to incorporate into any skincare routine. They work quickly and effectively, making them an ideal addition to your skincare regimen.
Enzyme Ingredients in Eminence Organics
A common source of enzymes used in skin care products is fruit and vegetable juice. Seek out enzyme exfoliators that include plant-based enzymes (like lipase) and different fruit enzymes (including actinidin, bromelain, and papain) for the best results.
- Kiwi (Actinidin Enzyme): Actinidin, an enzyme that comes from kiwi fruit, helps to eliminate dead skin cells and exfoliate the skin's top layer, resulting in a smoother, more irritation-free complexion.
- Pineapple (Bromelain Enzyme): This enzyme from pineapple helps reduce inflammation, making it ideal for those with acne-prone skin. It also promotes collagen production.
- Papaya (Papain Enzyme): Extracted from papaya, papain gently exfoliates the skin and is rich in vitamins A and C. It's great for brightening and evening out skin tone.
- Fermented Plant Sugars (Lipase Enzyme): Fermented plant sugars are the source of lipase, an enzyme that regulates oil production. This is the enzyme that breaks down the oil.
