Enzyme skin care products are a relatively popular skin care product in recent years. Enzymes have many skin care and beauty effects, and they can also help the body detoxify. Enzyme products are available for external use, and It can be taken internally. Female friends who love beauty can try it. So, what are the functions of enzyme products? The editor will answer it below.

1. The role of enzymes

Enzymes, also known as yeasts or enzymes, are proteins with catalytic capabilities produced by organisms themselves. Enzymes exist in all living cells. They activate the vitality of cells and enable cells to exhibit various life phenomena. Without enzymes, all cells will lose power and life phenomena will not be produced. Enzymes are essential components in the human body. They can decompose and eliminate waste products in the blood and viruses caused by pollution in the living environment. They can control free radicals, resist oxidation, improve spots, dull skin, remove dead skin cells, and slow down the growth of bacteria. The rate of skin aging.

Enzymes in external skin care products

Enzymes added to external skin care products can mainly play three roles, namely oil control, exfoliation, and anti-aging.

Oil control:

Enzymes can speed up the decomposition of fat. When the sebaceous glands of the skin secrete a large amount of excess oil beyond the level of the sebum film, the oil will accumulate in the pores and form keratin plugs. It is what we usually call blackheads. Using products containing enzyme ingredients can quickly break down the oil in the pores and discharge them along the pores, achieving the effect of removing blackheads. At the same time, enzymes can effectively inhibit the excessive secretion of sebum, repelling this hidden danger before the skin becomes oily, avoiding the problem of oily face, and greatly reducing the possibility of acne outbreaks. This is just like what we are doing in It is the same reason that you can take some yeast tablets in moderation to help digestion after eating too fatty food.

Exfoliation:

When old dead keratinocytes on the surface of the skin cannot be metabolized normally, they will accumulate on the surface of the skin, making the skin rough and causing dryness and breakouts during the change of seasons. It will also hinder the absorption of skin care products, making it difficult to improve the problem of dull skin tone. Even if the stratum corneum is fully softened, ordinary facial cleansing products cannot completely peel off the old dead skin cells accumulated in this layer. Therefore, some lotions for secondary cleansing will add salicylic acid and other keratin cleansing ingredients. . When using lotions containing such ingredients, you will inevitably encounter two problems. First, not all skin is tolerant to salicylic acid, which may cause irritation or excessive exfoliation of cuticles and damage to the sebum membrane. Second, it is generally recommended to use it with cotton pads or cotton balls. This will greatly increase the degree of friction on the skin. Even if the skin is not sensitive, it will inevitably be scratched. Therefore, enzyme exfoliation can be effective at this time. Show its excellent advantages. Enzymes can perform targeted exfoliation, that is to say, they can peel off cuticles in areas with thick cuticles or other areas with less sebum, and will soften and soften skin areas with large pores and frequent acne-prone skin. Exfoliates old glial cells, helps restore skin's smoothness and absorption capacity, and makes skin look more transparent.

Anti-aging:

The main cause of aging is always associated with one word, free radicals. Free radicals in the body and skin not only come from the catalysis of external ultraviolet rays, but are also closely related to emotions. However, when emotions are suppressed, free radicals in the body will be produced in large quantities, which is why the quality of one's emotions can affect a person's health. A person's appearance. When the body's own internal functions cannot meet the neutralization standards of free radicals, the skin and other internal organs will begin the inevitable oxidation process. Therefore, the aging process is irreversible, and we can only try to slow down the speed. Antioxidation can be accomplished by using free radical neutralizers such as antiseptic acid and tocopherol, but you may not know that enzymes also have a role in fighting free radicals. Unlike other antioxidant ingredients, enzymes can control the activity and quantity of free radicals. , slow down the aging process caused by oxidation from the root, while helping the skin resist damage from the external environment and strengthen the skin texture.

Enzymes in oral beauty products

Enzymes often appear in some familiar fruits, such as pineapple, papaya, mango, strawberry, tomato, etc. However, due to the low enzyme content in a single fruit, the immediate effect is not obvious, so if you want to amplify the effect of enzymes, you can do so by taking enzyme beauty products.

However, it should be noted that in order to achieve the best detoxification effect, it is generally recommended to take enzyme beauty products on an empty stomach. However, this does not mean that fruits such as pineapple and papaya that contain enzyme ingredients can also be consumed on an empty stomach, because the large amount of fruit acid in them may cause gastrointestinal irritation. Stimulation, but targeted enzyme beauty products usually do not have this concern. In addition, when the temperature is higher than 60 degrees, the enzyme will decompose and fail, so you must pay attention when drinking. If it is an enzyme powder that needs to be diluted with water, you must use warm water, and usually store it in a cool place such as the refrigerator to avoid enzyme Deterioration and failure.

Enzyme SPA

Enzyme SPA is to add carefully selected enzymes to high-quality wood chips to fully integrate and ferment them. At this time, the wood chips will heat up due to the action of the enzymes. , producing physical therapy effects. Just bury the whole person in the sawdust and expose the head. The heat energy of the sawdust and the action of enzymes will accelerate the body's blood circulation and metabolism, so that the garbage accumulated in the skin and blood can be excreted with a large amount of sweat, thus detoxifying. The role of weight loss; in addition, the old dead keratinocytes on the surface of the skin will also be softened and shed under the action of enzymes, and a large number of new skin cells can be fully activated, so after the enzyme SPA, the skin all over the body will become silky and delicate.
