You must be aware of numerous health benefits of eating oranges. Today let us tell you the hidden benefits of orange peel for healthy and glowing skin and how you can make it at home itself.
Brightens complexion:
The citric acid present in orange peel acts as a natural exfoliant for the skin. This helps in reducing dark spots, scars and pigmentation.
Prevents acne
Orange peel is rich in vitamin C, which cleanses the skin, unclogs pores and removes excess oil. Regular use of orange peel can reduce acne and blackheads.
Moisturising & anti aging properties
Orange peel is rich in antioxidants and works in hydrating our dry skin. Also, it helps in delaying wrinkles and fine lines.
Removes tan
Scrubbing with orange peel powder can be beneficial in removing tan.
Dry some orange peels at home. It may take 3 to 6 days for the peels to get dry. Grind these peels and make a fine powder out of it. This powder can be stored in the fridge for at least a month.
Take 2 tablespoons of raw milk and one spoonful of orange peel powder. You can also add a pinch of turmeric for more antioxidant benefits. Mix well and keep it aside for 5 minutes. Now apply a thin layer of this paste on your skin. Leave it on for 8 to 10 minutes until it partially dries. After this scrub your face and wash it off with lukewarm water.
