How to Make a Chemical Face Peel at Home

Chemical peel solutions contain ingredients that lightly burn away the top layer of your skin. This process removes some facial blemishes and fine wrinkles and evens out skin tone. Dermatologists use a variety of chemicals to make this facial cocktail for their patients, but the process is uncomfortable for some. If you have sensitive skin, try using natural products to mix your own. Get smoother, younger-looking skin by using ingredients from your refrigerator and pantry.
