Frequently Asked Questions
Do you use real fruit on my face?
No, we use professional-grade fruit enzyme extracts and AHAs derived from fruits, not actual fruit pieces. This ensures consistency, optimal pH levels, safety, and efficacy. Concentrated extracts deliver therapeutic benefits without variability or contamination risk of fresh fruit.
What fruits are used?
Common fruit enzymes: papaya (papain enzyme—dissolves dead cells), pineapple (bromelain—anti-inflammatory), orange/lemon (vitamin C—brightening), strawberry/apple (AHAs—gentle exfoliation), grape (resveratrol—antioxidant). Each targets specific concerns; customized to your skin.
Are fruit facials as effective as chemical peels?
Research shows fruit enzymes exfoliate as effectively as 5-8% glycolic acid but with 60% less irritation. While not as aggressive as medium-depth peels, fruit facials provide excellent results for sensitive skin, gentle brightening, and consistent maintenance without harsh side effects.
Can I get fruit facial if I have fruit allergies?
Inform your aesthetician about specific fruit allergies. We can customize treatment avoiding allergenic fruits. For example, if allergic to papaya, we will use alternative enzymes like pumpkin or pineapple. Patch testing available for concerned clients.
Is this safe during pregnancy?
Yes, fruit facials are safe during pregnancy. Natural ingredients, no harsh chemicals, and gentle exfoliation make them ideal for pregnancy skincare. Helps address pregnancy-related concerns like melasma or dullness. Always disclose pregnancy to your aesthetician.
How is this eco-friendly?
Fruit facials use plant-based, biodegradable ingredients derived from renewable resources. No synthetic chemicals or microplastics. Natural formulations are gentler on environment and skin. Perfect for clients seeking sustainable, eco-conscious beauty treatments.
