Powder for washing

Powder as a cleanser? Yes, this is possible today.

What’s this

Another Asian cosmetic trend that has entered the Western market is face wash. Sounds like an oxymoron, but enzyme powder is already widely used in Asia to cleanse the skin. The texture of this powder resembles flour, only with the smallest granules.

Asian women tend to have thick, normal, and oily skin with relatively large pores. Therefore, regular enzyme peeling is a very appropriate tradition.

Enzymes are the main active ingredient in face wash. These natural enzymes help “separate” impurities from the skin, dissolve sebaceous plugs, and also remove dead skin cells.

How to use powder cleanser

The powder works like a gentle enzyme peel, intensively yet gently cleansing the skin and pores. Before applying to the face, the powder must be mixed with water, pounded to the consistency of milk or whipped to a foamy texture.

Powder for washing can be turned into foam and scrub.

To enhance the exfoliating effect, you can apply powder in its pure form (not mixed with water) to wet skin, then it will work like a scrub.
