Chemical peels are great for addressing a multitude of skin concerns including fine lines and wrinkles, sun damage, pigmentation and age spots, acne and acne scaring, large pores and blackheads.

They resurface the skin, thicken the dermis, increase cellular turnover and stimulate collagen production.

But if the thought of going to a professional to have acid put on your face scares the hell out of you why not make your own chemical peel out of all natural ingredients you could already have lying around in your fridge, cupboards or garden!

I’m going to give you a couple of my favourite homemade chemical peel recipes you can try yourself from the comfort of your own home.

They are so quick and easy!

What is actually in a chemical peel?

Most chemical peels contain acids that all derive from natural sourses, these are mainly AHA’s (Alpha Hydoxy Acids) usually glycolic acid which derives from sugar cane.

BHA’s (Beta Hydroxy Acids) like salicylic acid, this comes from Asprin and lactic acids which come from milk.

Citric and malic acid come from fruit. All the above are known to be effective in stimulating skin repair, increasing collagen production, increasing skin thickness, improving skin elasticity, diminishing acne, improving skin texture, improving skin tone and decreasing enlarged pores.
