Enzyme Peels

Enzyme Peels are the new popular peel because it is more gentle to the skin than a chemical peel. While a chemical peel should be done by a professional, an enzyme peel can be done at home as part of a daily regement, such as Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant. Enzyme peels are popular for having the same benefits of chemical peels, but also nourishing the skin with vitamins and nutrients to the skin at less of a cost. Enzyme peels break down the bonds that hold dead skin cells onto our skin by digesting the keratin protein. Enzyme peels use an enzyme that some people respond better to than Glycolic Peels because it is less intrusive and is better at skin retexturing, but do not help with hyper pigmentation.
