Tested for you: „Enzyme Peeling Powder“ from A4 Cosmetics
Enzyme peelings are the alternative to mechanical scrub preparations. Mechanical means that the product works with small abrasive particles to remove dead flakes and superficial calluses from the skin. These consist of sugar, crushed almond or cherry kernels or rice bran, for example.
However, there are also rub-on particles made from microplastics. These could cause micro-injuries to the skin due to the sharp edges and are also bad for the environment. The plastic particles are insoluble in water, difficult to break down and can accumulate in the organisms of aquatic animals. Complete chemical degradation can take several hundred years. It is therefore essential to buy products without microplastics!
Enzymes provide the exfoliating effect
For me, only enzyme peelings come into question anyway, because I don’t like the rubbing feeling on the skin. Instead of abrasive particles, an enzyme peeling contains activating enzymes that gently remove dead skin cells.
I tested the Enzyme Peeling from A4 Cosmetics. It is a mild cleanser that also tightens the pores. The pack contains 15 small sachets containing a fine white powder. If you don’t use the entire contents with every application, the 15 sachets are sufficient for approx. 30-45 applications. To use, open the sachet and sprinkle the required amount of powder onto the palm of your hand. Mix it with a few drops of lukewarm water. It is important to find the optimum mixing ratio. Too much will make the powder too runny, too little will cause it to clump.
The gentle cleansing
When properly foamed, it creates a pleasantly creamy substance that can be easily spread over the moistened face, neck and décolleté. Always avoid the eye area! Gently massage in the enzyme peeling and then rinse off with lukewarm water. My skin looks fresh and clear afterwards. However, it also feels a little dry and requires a day or night cream, depending on when I had time for the peeling. In any case, you should not exfoliate more than once or twice a week.
A4’s active ingredient care also lives up to its claim of natural-based active ingredients in the Enzyme Peeling. The exfoliating powder is full of goodies: Eco-certified argan oil. With an extremely high vitamin A and E content, it stimulates cell activity and renewal. Caffeine supports this effect.
Activating enzymes gently remove dead skin cells. Aloe vera from controlled organic cultivation also moisturizes the skin. Argan fruit peels dissolve keratinized cells and impurities and stimulate the skin’s cell activity.… weiterlesen

To travel during my profession as a beauty journalist was never enough for my. Also my six month on a world trip didn’t do it. It always attracts me to other cities, foreign countries, on roadtrips and places I don’t know yet. But I am not only interested in “culture” and “cream”, I am also fascinated by people who have stories to tell . Such unique experiences I want to share with you.
