Chemical peels are basically products that contain chemical peeling agents, such as glycolic acid (GA) or trichloracetic acid (TCA). “They work by loosening the bonds between the cells of the outermost layer of our skin (the stratum corneum), leading to shedding of those built-up layers of dead skin cells,” explains an expert. So, basically, when you apply a peel, the outermost layer of your skin starts peeling off to reveal better looking and better feeling skin underneath. While you may be mortified at the idea if you're a beginner, trust us chemical peels if done correctly are absolutely safe and give you much better looking and softer feeling skin. They also help fade fine lines and wrinkles to give you blemish-free and younger looking skin. Here are some chemical peels you can opt for at home.
