Dreaming of flawless skin can make women and even men to try out different skin peeling treatments. A beautiful and healthy looking skin can attract the attention of others and this can do wonders to boost self-esteem. If there are those suffering from melasma, sun burns, scars and blemishes and other skin problems, many effective skin peels are available and one can even try to make their own facial peel. A home face peel can be effective in reducing acne scars, wrinkles and hyper pigmentation on skin. In order to achieve the best results without any possibility of skin damage, one should take some precautions while making an attempt to make a chemical peel at home. A Glycolic peel is one of the most effective chemical peel which can be prepared easily at home. Glycolic acid is a derivative of Alpha hydroxyl acid or AHA, prepared from sugar cane.

One should stop using any kind of hair removal procedures three weeks prior to using these skin peeling treatments. Individuals should even stop exfoliating their skin with sponges and scrubs; else the skin can become too sensitive to cause discoloration and scarring. It will be beneficial to use moisturisers that contain mild Alpha hydroxyl acid. This will help to exfoliate the skin to offer the best of results while using a home-made skin peel.

If there are warts on the skin that one wants to cure, keloids, cold sores or deep scars or those who are pregnant and breastfeeding should consult with their doctors or a dermatologist before using such home chemical peel. Some of these peels may not be suitable in such cases.
