🍃 What an Enzyme Facial Is

An Enzyme Facial is a gentle skin treatment that uses natural enzymes (from fruits like papaya or pineapple) to exfoliate dead skin cells without irritation. It’s less aggressive than chemical peels and ideal for people wanting smoother, brighter skin with minimal sensitivity.

🧖‍♀️ How It Works (Step-by-Step)

1. Skin Assessment

Your skin is evaluated first to determine how sensitive or reactive it is.

2. Gentle Cleansing

The face is gently cleansed to remove surface debris and makeup.

3. Enzyme Application

An enzyme-rich mask or gel is applied to your skin. These enzymes help dissolve dead skin and loosen buildup without harsh scrubbing.

4. Rinse & Hydration

After the enzyme has worked its magic, it’s rinsed off, and a soothing hydrating serum and moisturizer are applied.

5. Protection

A finishing step often includes sun protection, especially if you plan to go outside after.

🧴 What It’s Good For

💡 Before Your Appointment

✨ Avoid strong acids and retinoids for 48–72 hours before your facial.
✨ Show up with a clean face if possible.

🧴 How to Book It

When you contact a skin clinic or spa, ask for an enzyme-based exfoliating facial, enzyme peeling facial, or gentle enzyme treatment. These terms tell the provider you want natural enzyme exfoliation rather than harsh scrubs or strong acids.
