What can I put on my face for the brown spots/possible scars after a chemical peel?

You can use apple cider vinegar with "The Mother" in a 50/50 toner blend, the other 50 would be H2O.

The juice of a raw onion works as well.

Look into the Clarisonic... Works wonders!

WHAT IS THE MOTHER MEAN AND WOULD RAW JUICE FROM AN ONION ALSO BE ADDED OR USED BY ITSELF?

Look on the bottle of ACV and it should say "contains Mother" or some such. If in doubt, go into your local health store and ask. Castor oil dabbed on the spots 1-2 times a day is also meant to work for pigmentation/age spots but can take 4-6 weeks.

Whoops, should have added.. the castor oil needs to be cold-pressed if used on your face (again, ask your health store if unsure).
