Enzyme peeling at home. Video
Cleansing the skin with an enzyme peel is a rather gentle and popular procedure. The main indications for it are the presence of acne, blackheads and enlarged pores. Enzyme peeling can be done at home, without visiting a beauty salon.
Features of enzyme peeling
As part of the enzyme peeling, there are special enzymes that accelerate the metabolic processes of the skin and stimulate cells to renew. When choosing a remedy for this procedure, be sure to pay attention to the combined formulations, which contain not only fruit acids, but also retinol: they are more effective. Also, don’t forget to purchase a pre-cleanse solution. Typically, enzyme peels are based on acids from papaya, grapefruit, manuka, orange, lemon, sugar cane and aloe vera.
In order not to be mistaken in such a wide range, consult with a specialist in advance.
Pre-wash your face with water at room temperature, then wipe the skin with lotion or a special pre-peeling composition. Now apply the enzyme peeling with light massaging movements and keep it on for 10-30 minutes. The time of the first procedure should not exceed 7-10 minutes. After this time, wash with cool boiled water.
If, after applying the enzyme peeling at home, redness or burning appears on the skin, do not be alarmed, these unpleasant sensations will pass in a few hours. Lubricate your face with a moisturizer.
Try not to touch the skin or go outside during the day after the procedure.
The effect of enzyme peels at home
If you do an enzyme peel at home at least twice a week, after about a month you will be able to evaluate a positive result. Your skin will become healthier, more elastic, fine wrinkles will disappear, and there will be no trace of acne, scars and blackheads.
So that after this procedure the complexion does not differ from the color of the neck and décolleté, apply enzyme peeling to these areas as well.
A few tips for an enzyme peel
If you have any doubts about whether this type of peeling is right for you or not, do not risk it, but rather contact a qualified specialist who will be able to assess the condition of your skin and select the optimal composition. Having decided to carry out an enzyme peeling on your own at home, give preference to this goal in early spring or late autumn, at which time the sun is less active. This will help prevent unwanted pigmentation.
