A Journey Through Exfoliation’s History
Exfoliation has been a key element in skincare routines across various cultures throughout history.
From the ingenious methods of Polynesians using crushed seashells and sand to create scrubs, to Native American Indians utilizing dried corncobs, and the Ancient Egyptians who famously employed pumice stones and natural acids like sour milk rich in lactic acid – exfoliation has always been crucial for skin health.
Even Cleopatra indulged in milk baths, showcasing the timeless allure of this practice.
At Beauty Lies Within, we honor these ancient wisdoms, integrating them into our modern skincare approaches.
The Science of Skin Renewal
With aging, our skin’s natural renewal process, known as cell mitosis, slows down.
Typically, a healthy skin cell cycle is about 28 days, but this rate decreases from our thirties onwards, affected by factors like oxidation and environmental stress.
Regular and correct exfoliation is key to maintaining vibrant, healthy skin.

- Enhanced skin brightness and texture.

Age-Appropriate Exfoliation Techniques
The frequency and method of exfoliation should evolve with your age.
For those under 40, we recommend exfoliating up to twice a week, while those between 40 and 60 might benefit from a weekly routine.
Past 60, once every fortnight is generally sufficient. Our expert therapists can guide you on the best practices for your skin’s specific needs.

The Gentle Power of Enzymes in Skincare
Enzymes, acting as natural catalysts, accelerate chemical reactions in the skin without being used up, much like digestive enzymes.
They gently break down and remove dead skin cells, leaving the skin brighter and smoother.
This enzymatic action is particularly beneficial for avoiding the harsh effects of aggressive exfoliation, which can lead to a cycle of inflammation and dehydration.
The Enzyme Buff Advantage
Enzyme Buff, featuring a blend of Pumpkin, Bromelain (from pineapple), and Papain (from papaya) enzymes, is a superior choice for biological exfoliation.
These enzymes not only promote faster skin regeneration but also come enriched with anti-inflammatory properties, amino acids, and antioxidants, vital for healthy skin.
Pumpkin enzyme, with its smaller molecular structure, offers deeper action by accelerating the breakdown of protein bonds.
