Hi Girls,
Orange is the delicious juicy fruit that has many health as well as beauty benefits. You can relish your taste buds with oranges alongside keeping a clear glowing skin. To get the most out of oranges all you need to do is collect their peels to make a dry powder. Even when oranges are out of season this dry orange peel powder complements its beauty benefits. As it is a dry powder so it can be stocked for 3-4 months in an air tight jar.
Being a citrus fruit Orange is abundantly rich in Vitamin C. This is one of the essential skin Vitamins as it slows ageing, removes tan and improves skin tone. Using orange peels, you can make various face packs that can also be used for mild exfoliation. These face packs/scrubs are very natural, devoid of all the chemicals and are rarely prone to cause skin irritations. So what are you waiting for, let’s start working on these instant face packs to get the most coveted skin :dancydancy:
How to make orange peel powder
This is a one time job that will help in formulating various skin cures, and the result will last for a long time.
– Taken half dozen oranges and eat them :-) .
– Collect the peels and keep them in a wide tray.
– Dry the peels under sun for 3-4 days.
– Intermittently, keep shuffling them to get rid of the moisture.
– Once the peels are completely dried (they become crisp and break easily) crush them into small pieces.
– Grind the peels until they convert into a granular powder.
– Store the powder in an air tight container for prolonged survival.
Face Pack 1
Ingredients required –
1) Orange peel powder
2) Sandalwood powder
3) Rose water
Mix a spoon of sandalwood powder, a spoon of orange peel powder and 3-4 spoons of rose water. Mix them well, and apply on face and neck. Rinse with cold water when the pack gets semi dry. This pack thoroughly cleans the skin and makes it glow.
Face Pack 2
Ingredients required –
1) Orange peel powder
2) Organic Honey
3) Lemon juice
4) Turmeric
Add one and a half spoon of honey to a spoon of orange powder and a few drops of lemon. Add a pinch of turmeric; I prefer to use raw turmeric. If your skin is dry then you can skip off lemon. Apply the pack on your face and neck for 15-20 minutes. Rinse with cold water. When used over a period of time this pack removes sun tan.
Face Pack 3
Ingredients required –
1) Orange peel powder
2) Green lentils powder
5) Almond oil
Grind a spoon of green gram to make fine powder. Mix it with a spoon of orange powder and a spoon of almond oil. Massage your face for a minute, and rinse with warm water.This works as a mild scrub that can exfoliate the skin naturally. Use it once or twice a week for naturally glowing skin.
Face Pack 4
Ingredients required –
1) Orange peel powder
2) Chilled yoghurt or curd
Add a spoon of yoghurt to a spoon of orange peel powder. Mix it well and apply on your face for 15-20 minutes. Rinse with cold water. If your skin is oily then you can also add few drops of lemon juice.This face pack removes sun tan and cures acne.
Face Pack 5
Ingredients required –
1) Orange peel powder
2) Milk or milk cream
3) Rose water
Add a couple of spoons of milk to orange powder and rose water. Mix them well to get a wearable consistency. Apply this mixture and massage your face for a minute or so. Rinse with cold water. This serves as a good homemade skin cleanser. With consistent use it removes blackheads and dead skin cells from the skin, and slows down ageing.
Depending upon the results, these packs can be used every alternate day or twice a week. Sometimes when I apply these packs I feel a stinging sensation that calms down in a couple of minutes. Otherwise, I do not see any side effects or harmful effects of these homemade face packs. In fact with regular use my skin has become clearer, softer and even.

What should I do to improve my skin texture.
In that case, you should improve your diet. Add fresh fruits and vegetables, and drinks lots of water.
Thanks dear for sharing but my question is can I use it on my whole body?
I think there would be no harm in using it on the body as well.
