Does anyone know how to make a homemade glycolic peel?

I know that they usually involve ingredients that people don't necessarily have at home or even ones that aren't sold in your average grocery store but my friends and I were wondering how to make one at home.Does anyone know how to make a homemade glycolic peel?
I don't know that you can make Glycolic at home. I buy my Glycolic acid on E-Bay. Just check the sellers feedback and see what other people are saying about it, contact other people who bought from the seller and see how they felt about the product they bought. Also, know the more you pay, the better it is going to be. I would never pay under $10 for it. Good luck!Does anyone know how to make a homemade glycolic peel?
This one doesn't use glycolic acid but alot of spas use all natural peels that have natural enzymes and acids like from pineapples and even hibiscus flowers.





Cucumber peel

2 ounces of green tea (steeped and strained)

Cucumber is naturally a powerful astringent that helps tighten the skin and smooth out the wrinkles and fine lines.
