Pumpkin Enzyme Peel
Pumpkin Enzyme Peel
The Pumpkin Enzyme Peel treatments are fairly comfortable and last for around 30-45 minutes. The mask will be warm – some patients describe it as ‘warm and prickly’ – when it’s first applied to your face, and the sensation will last for a few minutes. Soon, it will change to a pleasant tightening feeling.
Depending on your needs, you may be best served by a series of six or more weekly treatments. After each of them, you can get straight back to your daily life, with a vibrant new glow in body and in mind.
Pumpkin’s high vitamin A content makes it a great secret weapon in appearance medicine. Vitamin A (beta carotene) is a highly active antioxidant; it targets the parts of skin cells responsible for kicking off cell turnover and, by extension, growth of the base layer of the epidermis. This helps to boost the structural integrity of all layers of the skin.
Proteolytic enzymes are another useful component of pumpkin pulp, helping to break down the bonds between dead cells. This means that a pumpkin peel can help slough away the dead outer skin cells without damaging the rest of them. Pumpkins also contain vitamin C, which is another antioxidant that helps to ward off free radicals.
Alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) and beta hydroxy acids (BHAs) penetrate the layers of the skin to help the turnover of the cells in both the epidermis and the follicles. This helps younger cells come to the surface of the skin – enhancing a smooth appearance and taut feeling – as well as cleansing the follicles of debris and dead cells.
This particular combination of ingredients will strengthen your skin’s defences against free radicals, which, in turn, helps to combat the signs of ageing. Your skin will look and feel rejuvenated, courtesy of the AHAs stimulating collagen and elastin renewal.
