Enzyme Scrubs –What’s the Hype?

I remember the first time that I had a facial and consultation with a “beauty expert” when I was a teenager. My use of quotes is merely because that was the title used by the spa; it is not meant to be patronizing. Anyways, he wrote up a “beauty regimen” for me and one of the “musts” or steps in the beauty regimen included the use of an exfoliator –I kid you not it was like using liquidifed sandpaper. For years I used it. But now of course we are being told to STOP! Because there is a new product on the scene: the ENZYME SCRUB. These are much gentler on the skin. These scrubs, made predominantly from plant or fruit enzymes, which then “unglue” rather than “scrape” the dead skin. Since March I have been testing out a few.

Here’s some of my favourites…

  1. Dr. Barbara Sturm Enzyme Cleanser


2. Wishful Yo Glo AHA & BHA Facial Enzyme Scrub 

3. Dr. Jart+ Cicapair™ Tiger Grass Enzyme Foam Cleanser

4. Josie Maran Pineapple Enzyme Pore Clearing Cleanser

5. Tatcha The Rice Polish Foaming Enzyme Powder
