Fruit enzymes seem to be very popular in the skincare community right now. They can help to break down the keratin protein that is on the surface of your skin, removing dead skin cells. Enzymes work to exfoliate and bring down inflammation.
The benefits of fruit enzymes:
- Smoother and softer skin
- Clear pores/minimal blackheads
- Even complexion
- Acne relief
- Glowy skin
- Elimination of redness
- Soothes skin irritations
This form of exfoliation is highly recommended because it is a much gentler approach compared to chemical acids. We have fruit enzymes in both our Brighten Mask and our Cleanse Powder. Klei recommends exfoliating with enzymes if you're on the sensitive side and regular acid peels are too abrasive. Even then, it is recommended to always wear your SPF when working with acids. Your skin is more sensitive to sun rays when doing so.
