How to MAKE YOUR OWN ORANGE PEEL FACE PACK?


Oranges can perk up the skin!

    Mostly known as a good source of Vitamin C, oranges are not only good for your health but also one of the most important natural skincare products. Its toning properties improve your skin texture and colour. Both Vitamin C and citric acid in oranges restore collagen in your body. Collagen helps in skin-firming and prevents ageing of the skin. Citric acid, which is part of the chemical group alpha hydroxyl acids, helps to reduce wrinkles and softens the skin, giving you a much younger-looking skin. It exfoliates the skin, removing the dead skin cells, and cleanses the pores, helping in acne prevention. Oranges also have Vitamin A, which, along with Vitamin C, helps reverse sun damage, protecting your skin from cancer. It is also used in spas for skin polish — it improves the texture of your skin as it exfoliates and hydrates it well. 

MAKE YOUR OWN ORANGE PEEL FACE PACK  

Clean the orange peel with salt to remove all germs and then put them in a blender to make a thick paste. Add a tablespoon of yogurt, a few drops of lemon juice and a teaspoon of honey into the paste and mix well. Wash your face with warm water and apply the pack. It will open up the pores. Let the pack remain for an hour and let it dry. Wash with cold water after an hour. The pack will remove all the dead skin and dirt from your face and give you a fresh feel. After washing away the pack completely, apply a thin coat of face cream to prevent the skin from drying up. 

FOR THE HAIR, TOO 

Orange peel juice can be used on the scalp to reduce dandruff and oily conditions. The peel can be mashed into a pulp and used as a hair pack. It helps to condition the hair and cleanse the scalp.
A tip: Rub the inside peel of an orange on your skin to tighten it.
