As skin ages, the ability to slough dead, damaged and maturing cells slows making young, healthy cells less able to surface. Enzymes help break down the impacted layers of dead cells that cause skin to become dull, stiff and crease easily. Enzyme exfoliants are ideal for “digesting” dead cells. They provide gentle exfoliation that targets dead skin cells that slow down healthy cell renewal – the leading cause of the appearance of dull, sluggish skin.

Enzymes come from a variety of sources, including papaya and pineapple, lactic acid, pumpkin, fish and more. Enzymes are gentle on skin, make excellent cleansers and are an ideal addition to anti-aging treatments. Enzymes stimulate collagen and elastin formation as they liquefy dead cells.

Enzymes are essential to professional treatments and home care routines. Professional level exfoliants are used in all my facials. For home care, I recommend Enzyme Cleanser Biological Exfoliant from Babor as a part of any home care routine.

With regular use, Enzyme Cleanser produces significantly smoother, fresher skin while preserving healthy epidermal cells and protecting the skin’s natural pH level necessary to create an optimal healthy cell production environment. After only one application, your skin will instantly appear smoother and brighter. It is all natural and unlike scrubs, acids or at-home microdermabrasion products, Babor Enzyme Cleanser contains no abrasive particles, harsh chemicals or acids, which can cause epidermal damage or upper layer thinning side effects.

Be careful how you wash your face. Too much scrubbing or too many abrasive products can remove protective oils, create tiny micro-tears in the skin and contribute to aging and irritation. Less is more, and a gentle cleanser, an enzyme exfoliant, and a quality moisturizer work well for most people. Come in for a facial and talk to your esthetician about how you can introduce enzymes into your regular home care routine.
