Beauty Uses for Skin Peels
Dark Spots
Orange peels work as a natural bleach that can help you lighten dark spots on your skin. Mix 2 teaspoons of orange peel with organic honey. Apply this mix to your face and let it sit for 15 minutes, then gently rinse with warm water.
Acne & Blackheads
Orange peel can extract dirt from deep inside the pores as well as prevent oily skin from creating too much sebum, which is that greasy substance your skin naturally produces. Mix 2 teaspoons of orange peel powder with 1 teaspoon of oatmeal, 1 teaspoon of baking soda and a little bit of water to create a thick paste. Apply to your face for 20 minutes and then rinse off. Mix yogurt with orange peels to create a thick paste and exfoliate your skin to get rid of blackheads.
Wrinkles
The orange peels can keep your skin looking young and wrinkle-free because it reduces oxidative stress in skin cells, keeping your skin looking youthful and glowing. Mix 2 teaspoons of orange peel powder and 1 teaspoon of sandalwood powder and water to make a smooth paste. Apply to your face and neck and leave it for half an hour, then rinse off with warm water.
Make sure that next time you’re eating an orange, you don’t throw away the white pith because it also contains powerful antioxidants that fight off free radicals that can damage your healthy skin cells, which produce wrinkles and saggy skin.
When you are using the orange peel, be sure to dilute the orange peel paste because it contains a lot of citric acids (a popular ingredient in face creams), which if you use too much, it can burn your skin.
