Alpha and beta hydroxy acids (AHA and BHA) are mild chemical exfoliants derived from organic sources like citrus fruits. These acids work to buff away dead skin cells allowing the newer, healthier skin underneath to shine through. Making your own facial peel with citrus fruit provides a milder take on treatments administered by skincare professionals while giving you the added benefits of the natural acids sloughing away dead skin cells.
To make your own facial peel:
Mix two teaspoons baking powder, one teaspoon of water and a squeeze of lemon juice. Apply to your face and leave for 5 minutes. Rinse off with water. Give your skin 5 minutes to settle and admire the results.
*For blemished skin you can crush up an aspirin pill into the mix for added anti-inflammatory properties. The salicylic acid will also aid the breakdown of blackheads.
