Description
APIS enzymatic face wash powder is a professional product for beauticians working with sensitive and rosacea-prone skin. Its enzymatic cleansing action is effective yet gentle - suitable even for irritated skin when chemical exfoliants are not an option.
On contact with water, the powder turns into a soft foam - it removes impurities from the skin's surface and reduces sebum production without the risk of irritation. This makes it suitable as a preparatory step before other salon treatments, shortening preparation time.
The enzyme papain it contains gently exfoliates the keratinised layer of the epidermis, evens out skin tone, has an anti-inflammatory effect and speeds up skin renewal - especially relevant when a client's skin reacts to more intensive exfoliants.
Pineapple extract, rich in vitamins A and C and proteolytic enzymes, has anti-inflammatory properties: it smooths and moisturises the skin, giving it a healthy look and glow. It also prepares the skin for further treatment care - serums and masks are absorbed more effectively.
