Back to Forever Young
1) ENZYME MASK
Brighten and Rejuvenate
Enzyme Masks use natural enzymes, typically derived from fruits like papaya, pineapple, or pumpkin, to gently break down dead skin cells. They offer a chemical exfoliation without the need for scrubbing, making them a great alternative for sensitive skin or those who may find the scrub I recommended in the weekly section a little too harsh. Enzyme masks help to brighten the complexion, improve texture, and boost cell turnover. They’re generally more hydrating than clay masks and focus on gentle exfoliation and rejuvenation.

2) CLAY MASK
Detox and Deep Clean
For a deeper detox, I recommend adding a clay mask to your routine once a month. It’s perfect for drawing out impurities, controlling excess oil, and giving your skin a fresh start. The deep cleansing power of clay helps refine pores and balance oily areas, leaving your skin feeling clean and rejuvenated. Using it monthly strikes the perfect balance without over-drying or irritating your skin!
