Neutralizing a chemical peel with ingredients from your kitchen:

• Baking soda, water, and vinegar

Instructions: Mix together one teaspoon of baking soda in one cup of water. Add a few drops of vinegar to the mixture until it’s well-mixed. Apply this solution to your face after rinsing off the peel and leave it on for five minutes before washing off with warm water.

• Baking soda, water, and lemon juice

Instructions: Mix together one tablespoon of baking soda in one cup of cool water until there are no clumps left. Add half a lemon’s worth of juice (about 1/4 cup) to the mixture and stir well again. Apply this solution as directed above once you’ve rinsed yourself off after using the chemical peel

You can use mineral water to neutralize a chemical peel. To do this, mix the recommended amount of water with the glycolic acid and apply it to your skin. If you don’t have access to mineral water, try using distilled or spring water instead.

To neutralize with mineral (or any) water:

• Mix ¼ teaspoon of baking soda into 1 cup of warm distilled or spring water until thoroughly dissolved.
• Pour into a small spray bottle and spray on your face after removing the peel solution.
• Wait 10 minutes before rinsing off with lukewarm water and patting dry gently with a clean towel (you don’t need additional moisturizer at this point).

Many people are looking for alternatives to chemical peel neutralizers, especially due to the high cost of commercial neutralizers.

Many people are looking for alternatives to chemical peel neutralizers, especially due to the high cost of commercial neutralizers. Baking soda is a cheap alternative that can be used in place of commercial products. The baking soda works by removing the acidity from your skin, which can reduce irritation and prevent peeling.

• Apply baking soda to your skin after you have completed your chemical peel treatment
• Allow it to sit on your face for about 20 minutes before rinsing off with water
