How Does a Pumpkin Enzyme Peel Work?
Skin Peels can be a very effective way to refine skin texture and minimize discoloration and sun damage. They can also produce a gentle, controlled shedding of dead surface layers of skin which allows healthy, smoother new layers of skin to be revealed, restoring a natural glow to the skin.
Pumpkin enzymes contain alpha-hydroxy acids which help to loosen the bonds that hold dead skin cells together which makes them easier to remove. This allows the nutrients of the pumpkin to be able to penetrate deeper into the skin. The best part about using an all-natural peel for your skin is knowing that you’re not harming your skin with harsh chemicals.
