Chemical Peels recommended by dermatologists are well in demand and are known to meet the diverse requirements of your skin. These peels, tested and approved by dermatologists and skin experts, work wonders on dull, dry or oily skin and treat skin woes such as tan, pigmentation, acne, acne marks and signs of ageing. 

Many times, availing these chemical peels becomes a hefty task. What do you do then? A quick solution to this problem is resorting to easily available, natural ingredients. Peels formed from these ingredients are milder versions of chemical peels and can be quickly prepared and applied at home with absolutely no assistance! 

It is safe to use these natural ingredients since they are an inevitable part of your chemical peels as well. These ingredients could be fruits, vegetables and/or herbs. 

The Ultimate “Things To Remember” List For Your Skin! 

First things first. Make sure you pay close attention to the following things before you make your way into DIY home peels: 

- Know your skin type and identify your skin issue before preparing a peel. Keep in mind that your skin goes through a lot of changes due to the weather or hormonal cycles. You need to tweak the composition of your ingredients and peels accordingly.

- Cease the use of products that comprise the same ingredients as the peel you’re preparing. Do this 3-4 days before and after you apply your peel. 

- Make sure you do a patch test. Apply some amount of the peel you’ve prepared on your jawline or in front of your ear a day in advance. This will help you detect the side effects of the peel, if any. 

- Handpick your ingredients. They need to be fresh and clean. Wash your hands thoroughly before you prepare your peel and before you apply it on your face. 

- Let your peel stay put for about 5-10 minutes only since there are fair chances of your peel being getting more acidic with time. 

- If you feel discomfort within minutes of applying your peel, remove it immediately, rinse your face and apply a soothing moisturiser.
