ZIAJA GOAT'S MILK ENZYME PEELING

I love how my skin feels after a good exfoliation. Being a Mediterranean girl I have oily skin, acne prone with pronounced pores thus it needs a regular skin care regimen. From the last years until now, I am used to all kinds of exfoliators, from diy scrubs to AHAs. But all of these can be too harsh sometimes, and my skin feels like it needs some break. This is when i realise it was time for me to try out something new, an enzyme peel. An enzyme peel is more gentle for the skin than scrubs and AHAs, while giving excellent exfoliating results. So, after I have done some research, I purchased Ziaja Goat's Milk Enzyme Peeling and tested it.

Ziaja Goat's Milk Enzyme Peeling is a gentle chemical exfoliator for face and neck. It uses a natural enzyme, called papain, to peel the top layer of the skin. At the same time, goat's milk, is one of the best known nature's skin softener. The result is a smoother and fresher skin. 

The main ingredients of Ziaja Goat's Milk Peel are:

Goat's Milk

Goat's milk has the same ph as human skin. Thus, our skin recognizes it and drinks it. After it is being absorbed easily into the skin, it nourishes and moisturizes it. Goat's Milk containes minerals like calcium, proteins, fatty acids and high levels of vitamin E and vitamin A. It has anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory properties thus it promotes a healthy skin. Goat's Milk also contains lactic acid which helps with the exfoliating experience and increases cell turnover.

Papain

Papain is a natural proteolytic enzyme found in papaya. This enzyme is really the workhorse of the product. Papain gently yet effectively dissolves the dead epidermal cells and makes sure that they disappear from the skin. 

Provitamin B5 (d-panthenol)

Provitamin B5 is a great moisturizing ingredient. Plus, it helps to speed up the healing process of damaged or wounded skin. Panthenol also soothes irritated skin and helps relieve the symptoms of itchiness and redness.

HOW TO USE ZIAJA GOAT'S MILK ENZYME PEEL

It is recommended to use the enzyme peel during your night skin care routine, as you would do with any other chemical exfoliator. After you cleanse your face and neck, apply evenly the peel with gentle circular motions avoiding the eye area. Let the enzyme peel work for 5 to 10 minutes. Then, rinse off with lukewarm water or you can just pat in the remained unabsorbed peel. The next morning cleanse well your face and neck.

ENZYME PEEL AFTERCARE

Avoid direct sunlight and wear sunscreen. Use a good moisturizer.

MY OPINION

This enzyme peeling is an excellent option to someone who wants to experience a chemical peel for the first time or someone with sensitive skin that can not bear an AHA peel. It is so gentle that does not feel like you are using a chemical peel at all. It is worth noting that, I have not had any itchiness or redness when I used this product on my face. My skin definitely looked more fresh and bright the next morning. My skin was also smooth and hydrated like almost if I had used a moisturizer before bed but I had not. Also, I love the mild soapy scent it has, like a good quality bar of soap. In my opinion, Ziaja Goat's Milk Enzyme Peeling is a decent product that deserves a place to everyone's cabinet.
