What is the Best Way to Neutralize a Light Peel? I Tried One At-Home.

I am a new Esthetician. I was taught in my school to use water or toner to neutralize a light peel. My peels are glycolic 30 and lactic 40. I was told by another Esthetician that you shouldn't use water or toner it can burn and it will not neutralize it. To use baking soda or a neutralizer. I did a peel at home on myself, layerd it with both peels. Used the baking soda applying it on top of the peel before removing it and it really stung and burned very intense, almost felt sizzly. thanks
