Did you know that orange peels are good for your skin in more ways than one? They contain vitamin C, antioxidants, and essential oils, all of which can help your skin stay healthy. Orange peels have a lot of vitamin C, which can help lighten the skin tone and get you rid of dark spots or blemishes. You can get a brighter face by rubbing the inside of an orange peel on your skin or mixing orange peel powder with a carrier oil.
A skin toner made from orange peel can help close pores, stop the skin from making too much oil, and feel refreshing. Orange peels may help fight acne-causing bacteria because they are antimicrobial, and the antioxidants in them can help protect the face from damage caused by free radicals and premature ageing.
