We want faster and more effective skin preparation solutions for make-up, and one of the main enemies of a balanced and hydrated skin is the surface layer of skin that needs to be removed with peels.

Often emergencies require quick preparation and immediate application of make-up, so we do not want to use mechanical and chemical peels that can cause redness and further complicate life. This is where enzyme peels come in. Enzyme peels contains proteins that cause chemical reaction in the skin and speed up regeneration of the tissue. The first results are noticeable immediately after removing the peeling, so the elasticity of the skin and the slightly increased tonus will be in the first place. It is important to note that enzyme pilings only remove dead cells and accumulations, which are not alive, making it suitable for use in all skin types and sensitive.

A fast enzyme solution that will gently remove the surface layer and cleanse the skin without taking up too much time is the ELEMIS Papaya Enzyme Peel. The active ingredients are papaya and pineapple enzymes that cleanse the skin, but there are also brown algae that restore hydration and minerals, which is why the skin is not dry and lifeless afterwards.

You can use ELEMIS Papaya Enzyme Peel twice a week 10 to 15 minutes, after which you can immediately switch to next skin care steps. I suggest you use it once a week and leave it for the second time for an emergency and a sudden situation.

Milky formulation spiced with mild fruity fragrance makes it comfortable to use. From a light milky formulation in contact with water it turns into a light foam which leaves a supple skin with a glossy effect, which later helps to create a flawless foundation. Highlighters and hydration primers are a great thing, but skin care is the one that will give you the most lasting results.

Saturate the skin by using essences, serums and moisturizing products. Apply liquid foundation after just a few minutes after skin prep. If you want a glossier surface and a very natural look of a perfectly blended foundation, apply a liquid foundation right after applying moisturizer. Tap in with fingers or brush, but I recommend the Beauty Blender. Creamy textures just love each other, so use a creamy blush for a rosy glow, cover the remaining irregularities with a liquid concealer and diminish fatigue with the illuminating products.
