Why does the SAME enzyme peel ball up completely differently on different people? 👀✨
It’s ridiculously satisfying to watch, but there’s actually a reason everyone’s skin looks a little different.
Here I’m using the Instant Painless Peel, a gentle enzyme exfoliation that helps loosen and lift superficial dead skin cells and surface build-up without relying on a gritty physical scrub.
At MPower Clinic, I don’t offer this as a standalone treatment. Instead, I use it as an extra skin-preparation step before selected treatments such as microneedling and chemical peels.
Why? Because excess dead skin and surface build-up can create an unnecessary barrier. Removing this first gives me a cleaner, smoother canvas before moving on to the main treatment ✨
But back to the satisfying bit… why does one person barely pill while another creates SO much? 👀
The amount of visible balling can vary depending on what’s sitting on and happening within the skin’s surface, including oil, hydration, texture, skincare products and superficial build-up.
And it’s something I notice all the time in clinic.
Those who are really consistent with their skincare and exfoliation will often have much less visible pilling.
Whereas when someone’s routine has slipped for a while, life has been busy, they’ve been unwell, or skincare has simply taken a back seat, we tend to see considerably more.
It’s not a perfect measure of “how much dead skin you have” (some of what you’re seeing is the product itself pilling), but it’s a great visual demonstration of just how differently skin can behave from one person to the next.
Same product. Same technique. Very different skin. 🩺🤍
