Pamper & treat yourself by making and using these effective homemade chemical facial peel recipesThese homemade facial peels not only remove the layer of dead cells, but also allow the other ingredients in the recipe to immediately penetrate your skin, nourishing, soothing and smoothing it out

Some words of caution: Because the acids in these at home chemical peels can cause skin problems, always do a patch test on a small piece of skin (e.g. behind the ear) to see how your skin reacts to separate ingredients

Also keep in mind that over-exfoliation can actually create skin problems and/ or damage, so be very careful
