This easy to make peeling gel contains a lower percentage of AHA's. To use, apply with your fingertips and leave for 5 minutes. Then simply rinse off with running water, ensuring you don't get any in your eyes. Remember to apply a moisturiser afterwards.
Method:
-
Combine all the Stage 1 ingredients together in a large beaker and stir with a silicon spatula to ensure there are no lumps.
-
Place the beaker in a bain-marie (double boiler) and start to heat up. Keep stirring all the time to ensure the Rice Starch does not go lumpy.
-
By the time the temperature has reached about 75 °C, the gel will have formed.
-
Remove the beaker from the bain-marie to cool down.
-
When the temperature has dropped to below 40 °C, add the Stage 2 (heat sensitive) ingredients. Stir thoroughly to combine the materials well.
-
Jar and label.
