Oranges on Your Face

 Although most people know that eating oranges is good for your skin, fewer are aware that oranges can work on the outside as a beauty treatment facepack too.

Most everyone is aware that oranges deliver many health and beauty benefits, as the tasty fruit is somewhat of a natural beauty product in the human diet that can help your skin remain younger, tighter and appear radiant with inner health. Oranges are full of beneficial vitamins and really do not contain anything that is even remotely harmful to human health. People have said eating an apple a day “keeps the doctor away” but eating oranges every day can “make good health stay” as they deliver many essential vitamins and minerals and they always taste really great too.

However, something that most everyone overlooks when it comes to the many benefits of the juicy winter fruit is that not only can eating oranges make the skin healthier from the inside out, oranges can also be applied to the outside surface of your skin as a natural beauty treatment that works from the outside to the inside. This is evident from the many commercial beauty facepacks on the market that are made from oranges, orange peels and even orange juice. In this way, the complete orange is used both to stay healthy looking on the outside and to feel healthy on the inside too. Because the vitamin C in oranges can improve the look and texture of skin and it can also help fight the damage from exposure to the sun and slow the visible aging process down a bit as well, you might want to try making your own beauty treatment facepack recipe with your own oranges at home.

Those who desire a glowing skin in the winter should check out some of these easy-to-make facepacks that employ oranges including:

The Orange Pack –
Use the pulp of an orange as a direct massage on the face. Apply the pulp to your face and leave it on for 5 minutes before rinsing with cold water to help tighten the skin, remove oils and blemishes, and delay the aging process too.

Orange Juice Cleanser –
Use an orange peel and a bit of pulp to cleanse the skin and remove dead skin cells, dirt, and blackheads.
Apply the mix for one or two minutes before rinsing with cold water to get a moisturized and shiny face.

Orange Peel and Yogurt Scrub –
Dry some orange peels in the sun for as few days and then grind them to a fine powder in a coffee bean grinder before mixing in the same amount of plain yogurt. If blackheads and acne are present, you can add a few drops of lemon juice to the mix before applying it as a facepack that you will rinse off after it has dried on your face. As always, finish up by rinsing with cold, clean water.

Orange Juice with Lemon and Yogurt –
Just like making the Orange Peel and Yogurt Scrub, only this time you add some orange juice and lemon to the mix before application as a great facepack that can help whiten the skin and reduce any evidence of sun tan lines.

Orange Peel and Oat Scrub –
Mix ground orange peels and raw oats soaked in orange juice to create an exfoliating scrub that will remove dead skin cells, blackheads, and blemishes without irritating your face.
