Although our bodies produce certain enzymes, we can become deficient in them.This is why enzyme-rich foods and supplements have become popular in recent years.
Two of the most frequently used plant enzymes in skincare are papain, from papaya, and bromelain, from pineapple. these enzymes have keratolytic properties, which means that when used in a skincare formula, they can soften and break down dead skin. Packed with vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, these fruit enzymes are often used in cleansers, moisturisers and enzyme peels.
How do enzymes work?
Enzymes can exfoliate the skin without granules, which often irritate the skin. Enzymes work by breaking down the “proteins” in the dead skin layer. Enzymes dissolve and remove unwanted, dry and rough skin to reveal smoother and softer skin beneath and leave the skin more receptive to subsequent corrective products.
What skin types can benefit from enzymes?
Mature or ageing skin. When we are young, our cells renew roughly every two weeks. But as we get older, this process slows down. the natural sloughing of older cells from the skin becomes more difficult causing a build-up that results in thick and dehydrated skin with loss of tone and firmness. On average, cell renewal takes from 25 to 30 days in midlife, and up to 90 days in maturity. Exfoliation is effective on prematurely aging and mature skin, as it helps stimulate cell renewal faster than the body can on its own.
Blemished and problematic skin
Oily or blemish-prone skin produce five times more dead skin cells than other skin conditions. the combination of hardened sebum and dead skin cells clog the hair follicle and contribute to zits. Proper exfoliation removes the layer of matter and pores are less likely to clog.
Hyper-discolouration is caused by sun damage and/or hormonal changes.It’s an increase in melanin which causes dark patches or spots on the skin. Exfoliation helps shed these darkened cells at a faster rate, preparing the new skin for more effective penetration of therapy products that help lighten skin, and decrease melanin production.
Age-old remedies such as using papaya peel to refine pores and soften the skin, pineapple to calm down skin inflammations are based on enzyme therapy.
Combining the effects of both papaya and pineapple enzymes in a synergistic formula, Milab Nzyme Pore Refining Wash and Mask rids the skin of oils, grime, environmental pollutants and accumulated dead skin cells.
