As gentle on the face as they are on the planet, these exfoliating powders that transform into foam are all the rage! They’re now appearing in certified organic versions. They’ll make sure the skin is in tip-top shape for spring!
Spring cleaning doesn’t have to mean aggression! There’s no risk with enzymatic cleansing powders, which provide deep yet gentle cleansing for all skin types, even sensitive. Non-abrasive and non-drying, their enzymes (most often fruit enzymes, such as papaya or pomegranate) cut the links between dead cells on the skin’s surface. The result is a clear, smooth complexion. Very simple to use, simply place a small amount of powder in the palm of your hand, add a few drops of warm water (the enzymes are activated by the heat of the water) and rub your hands together until you obtain a creamy lather, before applying to your wet face and neck. For more intense exfoliation, you can also leave the foam on for one to three minutes before rinsing.
Enzymatic powders are grain-free, so they don’t “scratch” the epidermis. They can be adjusted to suit individual needs. Last but not least, their water-free formula eliminates the need for preservatives.
