Neutralizing Chemical Peel with mineral water.

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
