Transform Your Skin: 10 At-Home Natural Peel Recipes for Radiant Glow

I’ve always believed that the best skincare doesn’t come from a lab—it comes from nature. There’s something incredibly satisfying about using simple, natural ingredients to bring out your skin’s radiance. Achieving healthy, glowing skin doesn’t require expensive treatments or harsh chemicals. With the right natural ingredients, you can create effective skin peels at home to exfoliate, detox, and rejuvenate your complexion. Traditional Persian Medicine (TPM) emphasises using natural elements to restore balance to the skin. By incorporating herbal remedies and time-tested ingredients, you can achieve a luminous glow without compromising skin health.

Why Choose Natural Skin Peels?

• Gentle Exfoliation: Removes dead skin cells without irritating the skin.
• Nourishment: Packed with vitamins and antioxidants.
• Chemical-Free: Avoids synthetic additives that can disrupt skin balance.
• Affordable & Accessible: Uses common kitchen ingredients.
• Aligned with TPM: Supports your skin’s temperament with personalised care.

Post-Peel Care: Enhancing Your Radiant Glow

After using a natural peel, follow these steps to protect and nourish your skin:

• Hydrate: Use a lightweight moisturizer to replenish moisture.
• Avoid Sun Exposure: Natural acids can make your skin more sensitive to UV rays.
• Use a Gentle Cleanser: Prevent irritation by opting for a mild, pH-balanced face wash.
• Incorporate TPM Skincare: Try Sefidab® Body Skin Detox to deeply cleanse and rejuvenate your skin.
• Drink Herbal Teas: Support detoxification from within with Damnoosh™ Skin Radiance Tea.

The TPM Connection: Why These Ingredients Work

Traditional Persian Medicine classifies individuals based on temperament. The right skincare supports balance:

• Choleric (Hot & Dry): Needs cooling and hydrating ingredients like aloe vera and honey.
• Melancholic (Cold & Dry): Benefits from nourishing oils and fatty acids.
• Sanguine (Hot & Moist): Requires gentle exfoliation and astringent herbs like green tea.
• Phlegmatic (Cold & Moist): Best suited to warming, circulation-boosting ingredients like coffee and turmeric.
