Today, I would be sharing with you a simple scrubbing method for your face without getting into the trouble of elaborate recipe making techniques. Yes, just as I talked about Banana peel last time, this time I am going to talk about how to use orange peel.
Eat your orange. Now, rub the peel directly on your face or anywhere else. Make sure you dig into the skin of the orange peel with your nails to extract its juice and apply it to your face. Keep on rubbing till the skin color of the peel changes into black. Do not wash your face immediately. Wait for 15-30 minutes. Then, wash off your face with cold water. Do not use any cleanser or soap after this application. Your skin will glow and be squeaky clean. And, this also ensures reduction in blemishes and dark spots. But, remember to do this at night as the citric acid makes the skin photosensitive and dry.
A tip: Dip the orange peels in raw milk for 1 hour before scrubbing. This would balance the drying effect of the orange peel with the moisturizing effect of milk.

Hiiiiiiiiiiiii swati can u please tell me , can i use a combination of orange peel powder n aleo vera ? Will it be helpful for my oily acne n pimple face. ?
hi! yes, Kaushik. you can use the combination and i am assuming it is as a face mask you want to use it. also, try to get tea tree oil. it helps with breakouts!!
Hi swati.. I have been using orange peel for acne on my face. I never had pimples before. Suddenly dis pimples have appeared on my skin. I do nt how to I remove brown spots on my face.. orange peel has been helpful but the process seems to be very slow. Kindly advice..
hi Varsha. yes, all home remedies take time to show the results. also, use potato slices and tomato slices on alternate days on clean skin at night and follow with a moisturiser. In case you need a recommendation, try grapeseed oil which is great for combination and oily skin and will definitely suit you as well 🙂
Orange peel is hurting the skin while applying on face..why mam..?
probably, it does not suit your skin. stop using it!!
Yea it was hurting but it is the fast process to remove acne I’m using orange peel to treat my acne and it is really useful
you could try out turmeric as well.
Hey can I use orange peel mask in winter? What ingredients shall I use? Thanx in adv
hi Supriya. yes, you can use it in winters as well. you can make any kind of mask using it!
Hey I have question can I mix orange peel powder with sunnipindi and use it everyday?
and for sunnipindi can I mix water or curd since my skin is oily i cant use milk
saritha
hey Saritha…yeah you can definitely mix it with sunnipindi…no problem in that and yeah it is better not to use milk for it can cause acne and all for you 🙂
Hey cn i rub inside of orange on face?
yup 🙂
Another question: which side of the orange peel do you use? the white inside, the orange outside, either or both?
From years of bartending I found that more fluid is found in the outside of the peel….try it
is it??? will surely try it out…thanks for the tip 🙂
the inside one 🙂
hi can i mix the orange peels with yogurt thanks:)))
yes you can mix orange peels with yogurt 🙂
Hi…the above matter says dat ‘we have to dig the skin of orange peel to extract juice n den we hv to apply it 2 our skin’..y should we do dis..is der any effect if apply it directly
@Naveen digging into the orange peels would release the essence of the peels which is extremely effective so dig into the skin and then apply it on the face!!!
Hi I was wondering how often can you clean your face with the orange peel? Can I do it everyday or should I do it once a week?
hey…orange peels are very soft and mild so you can use it once a week for dry skin and twice a week for oily or combination skin!!!
swati, dont u think the orange peels are too much drying? especially if u dont use a moisturiser or ur regular beauty routine?
no they are not exactly too drying but even if they are depending on skin type, I have only advised it anyway for one and two times a week for dry and oily skins respectively!!! so, its not exactly a daily routine either.
and, whatever one follows or does not follow, moisturizing is imp and should never be skipped so these are extra treatments but basic treatments have to be followed religiously. in fact, I am gonna put up a post on moisturizing next week itself.
would love to know your views 🙂
@swati after applying it wld the skin turn from tan(dark) to fair,and if yes then (fot oily skin) how many days shld we aaply it
yes, it will. the results can be seen within a week of regular use 🙂
make sure you use sunscreen too 🙂
I tried to rub the whiten side
(inner side) of the peel,but it’s dry, the juice come from outer side not from inner
hi Mehrun…yes the peel seems really dry but when you rub with it, you will feel the juice coming out of it and it wouldn’t be as if it will be really wet or something but its more like you can feel the essence and digging into the peel helps release the essence better. But, if you find the juice comes from the other side, that’s equally possible but I have no idea coz I never tried rubbing it on the other side. Will definitely try it 🙂 thanks for the tip!!!
i had powdered the dry peels( dried in sunlight for many days) in mixer and i apply it daily by mixing in water..i keep it for 15-20 min and then rinse it off with cold water! it gives super shine and glowing skin! removes pus from pimples too! very effective! 🙂
hey Prerna…oh wow didn’t know that it can remove the pus also from the pimples so I think it would be pretty effective on acne cysts too…should remember for future reference 🙂
heyyyyy,,,,when you apply it do you get little burning in the face
?????
I grated the orange peel in mixer and put it in ice tray, and pore little amount of water into it and freeze that, and when ever i need that i take 1 cube and rub on my face. I want to ask is this a right way to apply orange peel?
Also, i have oily to normal skin can i apply it daily or lesser.
Please reply
hi…you can use air dry the peels until they are entirely dry and then powder them and keep them and use them as face packs whenever you want. I don’t know how much of the essence of orange peels go into the water you pour over it as you freeze it immediately. It takes a warm temperature to absorb the essences. And, you can apply a face mask of orange peels every alternate day, preferably at nights as they make skin photosensitive.
Can I simply dust the orange peel powder on my face to clean it?
hi Lakeja…I don’t know how you mean by simply dusting the powder to clean your face? I would rather suggest you to mix the powder with milk or besan and use it as a cleanser. hope this helps 🙂
Hey, i make a juice of the raw orange peel and apply on my face .. I get an instant glow after doing it .. I’ve been doing it only for a week actually .. Do you think it will be effective to reduce my dark spots on my face? Or is it important to add some other ingredient with the orange peel juice? Thanks!
hey, that’s a great idea. Can you do a post on that??? I would love to know how the juice comes out and everything. Yes, it will be definitely effective but don’t apply it in the morning. do this at night always. you can mix either tomato or potato juices along as they are good at removing spots.
Will direct application of orange peel juice help reducing the dark spots?
we should rub the orange peel from inner side(whiten side) or the outer side????????
inner white side. that has the essence and even the essential oils of orange are extracted through that area.
Hi,
Can we use Mandarins instead of oranges??
will that give the same result as oranges do??
please tell me how are mandarins different from oranges??
hi Swathi…yes, you can use mandarins instead of oranges and since they are from the same family, the results would be same 🙂
hi… i want to know how to use dry orange peels & how many time in a week
hey Pallavi…you can use them as directed in the post above or you can simply let them get dried and then grind them in a mixer into powder and use them as a scrub or mask mixed with milk or water. you can use them daily too. hope this helps 🙂
thanks it’s worked
so, how are you using them???
hi swati ..i had a powder of orange peel(dried for few days ) is that effective for skin glowing
yes, Swetha, it is very effective 🙂
Thank you so much 🙂
🙂
Hey swati u have a nice blog:) can we use mosambi(green to yellow skin) for the same purpouse, do we get same results?
thanks a lot Simran 🙂 yes, you can use mosambi as well coz they are from the same family…only that I have never tried them so can’t say how much same the results would be but in essence, they are both same 🙂
I will try it asap and do the post on that:) keep visitin my blog
waiting for that, Simran 🙂
What is the best way to use orange peels for oily acne prone skin ?
dry them and powder them and then use it as a face mask or a scrub 🙂
Should I stop using it because my face starts burning in the beginning when i use it?
it might tingle but it shouldn’t burn so if its actually burn, yes leave it!
I LOVE the smell of oranges! But will washing with water completely remove any pesticides? Or should I use only organic oranges?
hi…well, if you do get organic oranges, that’s the best 🙂 but, they are not exactly available in India very easily so I have no idea about them. yes, washing doesn’t remove all the pesticides!!!
hi,
My skin is oily..n my cheeks have become red in color due to acne scars..how can i use orange peel powder in order to reduce that redness…
you can use it as a mask daily. mix it with milk and turmeric. do it at nights.
thanx for ur reply…i wil definitely try it…
HEY!!
can i use qrange jucie on my face…. coz my skin pores are open little bit…i tried but my skin was staring buring for som time……
if it started burning then you should not use it. use tomato juice instead or may be mint juice.
m very gald to knw ur answer…… is it good to use tomato every day…. if it is,then how should i use tomato……
i have another prob also actually m sencitive area are black i used many things like soap,creams but nothing happen ,before i used to apply hair removing cream but now m using wax but then also no effect sooo plzzz it would b very help ful to me if u give me some tips for this prob
rub a slice of tomato wherever you want. yes, you can use it everyday but if you are apprehensive, use it on alternate days. do it at night.
I am sorry but I totally lost you on your next issue. I mean which area are you talking about? bikini, underarms???
i meant to say both of my area r black, bikini + underarms
so what should i do to remove black skin???
you can check this post:

1) Coconut oil and Walnut powder make good exfoliators for dark skin patches. ….
Another great remedy which surely works is milk cream. Mix 2) milk cream with a pinch of turmeric and apply on the affected areas…….
these both i got for my problem but i dont understand ,cocount oil simple we should apply?? and after apply we should wash off or not?? and how often we should apply and 2nd 1 i dont understand milk cream ?? and 2nd 1 how often we should apply plzzz i will b very gald to knw??
walnut powder is too harsh for skin and not recommended at all. coconut oil is used as a body lotion after you have bath on clean skin so applying 2-3 drops per area would be enough and you need not wash it off. you can apply it as many times as you want. milk cream is the surface on the milk which gets formed when the milk is allowed to stand undisturbed for long time. you can use milk instead of milk cream as well. you can apply it everytime before you wash your face.
i think milk cream and turmeric is good i want to apply om sencetive area those are black…… /???
yes 🙂
My face skin is oily but not the hands and feet do i have a oily skin or not?and can i use orange peel powder and honey should i appply it daily or not and at what time should i apply it?andalso can u help me to know how much should i use i mean the quantity of peel powder and honey???and please tell me can i use green gram honey and lime juice as a mask during using the above mentioned pack .please help to know the tips
My skin is very dry and some pores and some rashes are there.. Can i use orange juice for my skin? How to use it for dry skin?
nope, don’t use it. even if you would like to use, I would suggest tomato juice mixed with honey as it is less acidic and gentler on the skin. don’t forget to mix it with honey 🙂
when the orange peel went dry it smelt discusting, i vomited!it had a very sickening smell to et! urrrgggh. it made the house smell gross,is there anyother way dat i can not make da orange smell gross. thanx dude 🙂
actually, it has no smell!!! any of the citrus fruit peels dry without smelling too much and they have the citrusy fragrance so probably the orange peel you dried was rotten!!! and, I am not a dude!!!
Lol must have been something else in your house causing that disgusting smell lol
I crushed the peel, mixed it with basen, coconut water and yogurt; this works really well to soften the skin, remove dead skin, make it glow, and the yogurt is a moisturizer. 🙂
yes, Fatima…its amazing and your tip is nice 🙂
as oranges are acidic, is it prone to harm my skin if i apply it directly? as you have mentioned in the banana peel post, that lemons tend to harm our skin. 🙂
hey Kiru…got me?? 😀 😀 lemon is more acidic when compared to oranges so you can use oranges on skin without any harm but make sure that do it at night and apply sunscreen properly next morning 🙂
and, thanks for a new post idea 😉
thanks 🙂 will try in tonite!
hi, a quick ques! can i use the orange peel afta 4 to 6 hours of peeling it. Will that have an effect ?
yup. you can dry the peels as well to store them 🙂
hi, I am using dried orange peels mixed with some lemon juice, honey, gram flour and turmeric mixed with milk? Is it effective? would it harm my skin?
yes, it is effective and no, it wouldn’t harm your skin so don’t worry but make sure you use it only at night 🙂

Hey Swati I apply orange peel on my face but it really hurt..is it bad for my face???
may be your skin is too sensitive. you could try mixing the orange peel with chickpea powder or clay mask and then try it! if it hurts even then, better discontinue it.
thanks swathi…
hi swathi..
how to use papaya on face,can use directly or have to mix honey or turmeric.
which moisturizer and sun screen lotion are better for my skin.my skin was too oily and dark.please give me suggestion…
take a slice and rub it directly on the face. remove it as soon as it dries off. no need to mix anything. i would suggest only neutrogena for sunscreen. for moisturizer, try rustic art aloevera gel. but, remember to use papaya only at night!!! hope this helps 🙂
thanks:),its nice,will try …

Hi Swati,
I recently came across you blog and found it interesting. what’s most interesting is you patience in answering all of our questions. I too have one for you in regards to my skin problem and truly expect your suggesting on it. I am unable to identify my skin type coze at times it too oily and at time is so dry that if I don’t apply a moisturizing cream then i end up with dry skin irruption and later my face becomes black. How safe is it to apply Orange peel, also can i get an orange peel powder in the market, it so can you please suggest the brand that I should use or go with. Thanks Preethi
thanks a lot for your kind words, Preethi 🙂
probably your skin is combination and depending on the humidity levels, it goes to oily to dry coz same happens to me 🙂
ok, may be you could try out lotus whitening emulsion…that’s something which is suiting me since i have started using it and the only moisturizer which i have liked till date!!
also, i would suggest you to make your own orange peel powder because generally the ones in the market are adulterated but if you can’t then there is this brand called dr. jain which is not exactly available everywhere but you can give it a try!!!
or, go to any ayurvedic shop, you can get all these 🙂 they are more or less reliable!!! hope this helps 🙂
Hi, can i mix sugar , milk, orange juice on scrub my face homemade .reply me

Nice
thanks for sharing.
Hi Swati,
Can you tell me why we cannot do this in the morning time, just wondering.
because any citrus fruit makes the skin photosensitive so its better to be done at night 🙂
Hi me sasmita I have applied orange Peel in sun and as my face was burning I washed with water soon. Now my face became so black. Any help frm u ppls, who knows about this.
that’s really strange. apply fresh aloe vera gel if possible on the face. in few days, it will return back to normal color.
how to get rid of dark circles? sobia
use almond oil, Sobia 🙂
any thing else ??
hey Sanober….using almond oil itself at night is more than enough for dark circles. if you really want, you can use potato slices…rub them on the undereye area and leave it for 15-20 minutes till it dries and then wash it off…and, follow with almond oil 🙂
isnt orange acidic??
yup Shalenee, it is acidic. this post might be useful to you: https://swathyandsky.com/2012/11/ph-level-and-citrus-fruits-skin-care.html
I tried this a while back, it burned a bit, so i washed it off n rubbed rose water thru my face. Do i have to stop or i can continue? I can see the difference… face feels n looks smooth.
Also, if we dry them (the peels) will they have the same effect later..?? Or can i grind and refrigerate them in an air tight container for later use.. as stock? 🙂
Kindly revert back. Thanks. 🙂
hi…i think you had commented a while back as well…i donno where you had commented but i had replied to the comment….i donno why its happening but you should discontinue using it if you feel a lot of burning and irritation. yes, dried peels also have the same effect. yes you can grind the dried peels for later use…that’s how they are generally stored and mixed with other ingredients.
Hi Swati, Kindly explain me this sentence plzz … ” you dig into the skin of the orange peel with your nails to extract its juice” ….
when you have the peel, it might look dry but it has a lot of extract of orange in it so when you scratch or fiddle with the peel, you will find a lot of that extract coming out. so, in the inner side of the peel which is white, you can make holes using a fork or your nails…that will release a lot of the extract…i hope i was clear 🙂
for fairer skin, check this: https://swathyandsky.com/2012/09/5-steps-to-get-fairer-skin-five-series.html
also, i said about almond oil above….dont worry about it being oily or that it would break you out…take just a drop or two of the oil and dab it on your eye area….it really helps. also, you can check this:

Love this tip! & just discovered your blog and love it too! One thing has me confused, i rubbed to orange peel on my face,with pressure & til the peel felt dried out. But it never turned black,the color didnt change at all.. How dirty does someones face have to be to turn the orange black? Or am i doing something wrong,tho i didnt feel like i did anything incorrect.
its ok if it didn’t turn black, may be your skin was already clean 🙂 if it dried out that’s enuf 🙂
You can put the orange peel in the blender and use it as a mask. 🙂
yup great idea 🙂

Hey Swati.. you are so nice coz you are patiently answering all of our questions. I have normal skin and have dark circle around my mouth and i never started sun screen cream till now coz if i use sun screen i felt my face became reddish, dull and dark than what i have. Can you plz suggest me suggest me the sun screen with SPF number.
Surya
hi Surya…use neutrogena ultra sheer dry touch. it doesn’t make the face dark or anything. also read the series on sunscreen:
https://swathyandsky.com/search/label/sunscreen
ive rubbed the zest of an orange to my face, an ive fell that my skin has not oiled for hours. thou for the first, it feels a bit minty but after a minute or two. it feels really great and my skin stayed smooth. all you have to do is to grate the outside portion of the orange skin to get the zest and rub through out your face. trust me, it really feels great and you’ll have a smooth skin through out the day 🙂
thanks a lot for the feedback 🙂 yes, the zest is amazing for skin!
Hiiiii Swati Murti, I have pimples on my face.can i use orange peel, please reply me.

@Swati Murti May 29, 2012 at 9:33 PM
Hey Swati, this is the first time Im visiting your blog. Congrats for the success and I appreciate your good work 🙂
I’d love to share something very important with u and with all the visitors on your blog. You r right when u said we dont have organic oranges available in India But there is a way to remove the pesticides from oranges or any fruit or vegetable we eat. Take oranges in a big bowl or bucket, pour white vinegar, add some baking powder to it and table salt. mix it in water and leave for 10-15 mins. Before throwing water, rub the oranges nicely with your hand. Now rinse with fresh water 2-3 times and your oranges are free of pesticides. To make your “anti-pesticide liquid” more powerful, u can add some lemon juice. This is the best home made method based on my research to remove pesticide.
Stay healthy and beautiful 🙂
wow..this is so informative! i shall surely share this tip! thanks a lot, Firdaus 🙂
hi,can i do it everyday? thanks for your help.
yes, do it at night 🙂
hi, i have super oily skin and dark complexion what is your recommendation for me and how often should i do the peel mask to see result? my face and neck is darker than the rest of my body and it is killing because it hard to find a foundation. Please help. thanks for your precious time
you can use the peel mask every night after cleansing your face. also, to prevent excess oil, apply aloevera gel at night instead of any moisturizer. it will gradually improve the oiliness. and, for face and neck, check this post:
https://swathyandsky.com/2012/09/5-steps-to-get-fairer-skin-five-series.html
and use sunscreen without fail in appropriate quantities! it really helps and gradually you will find your skin color improving to the original. also, use these remedies at night:

yes, mix it with chickpea powder or moon bean powder and almond powder. don’t mix it with oil, apply the oil separately but remember that olive is a little heavy so you might end up feeling greasy! hope this helps 🙂

Hey! I would say it’s better to use in evenings.
Hi can i also use the orange like the actual orange and just rub it on my face? :0 and also can i do it in the morning or only at night?
do it only at night and i am supposing you mean you can use orange peel as you would use regular orange and rub it into your skin. yes, you can. just make sure you rub the white part.
hi i dont get it i rub the orange peel in my face is your face supposed to be dry or something before waiting to wash it coz there’s not much juices in the orange WHAAAT
the face should be dry and the white part should be rubbed into the skin directly. you can also dry the peel and use it as a scrub.
i rub the orange peel in my face and it’s dry my face doesn’t have any juice from the peel is it supposed to be like that? and can i also rub the actual orange juice in my juice? what does it do in my face? 🙂 thanks
yes, its absolutely fine because the peel doesn’t have any juice. it just feels a little wet and then dries off pretty quickly. yes, you can rub the orange juice on your face. it helps lighten the skin spots and blemishes and removes tan. you can check out the benefits here:
