Recipes for Natural Homemade Peels

Fruits
such as pineapple and papaya work well in at-home preparations, due to
their natural enzymes and high sugar content. Strawberry and lemon juices,
naturally highly acidic, are favorite add-ons to at-home peels. The most
important ingredient is the cane sugar. Caster sugar (finely milled sugar) will
produce results closest to those at the dermatologist’s. A superfine grind,
caster sugar will dissolve better than regular cane sugar, penetrating skin
cells more easily.
