This fruit belongs to the citrus family and is best know for its astringent and toning properties. Oranges are a good source of Vitamin C which is known to improve the skin texture and color. They help restoring collagen in our body which is responsible for skin firming and preventing early aging of skin. So, daily serving of citrus fruits helps our body fight aging.
- After eating orange, instead of throwing away the peels, dry them in sun and grind them. Store the mixture. And, use it as a body scrub.
- Mix the above made scrub and milk or milk cream and apply on face. It gives an instant glow to your face. And, reduces the dark spots and blemishes on your skin.
- If you do not want to go through the tedious step of grinding the peels, you can make a refreshing face spray using the peels.
- If you do not use a face spray, simply pour boiling water on the peels and leave for a day. Next day, filter the liquid and store it in fridge. Apply the liquid on your face using a cotton ball. Let stay till it dries up. Your face will be firm and glowing.
- You can use this liquid in preparing face masks. Use the liquid in a day or two.
- You can pour this liquid in your bath water and enjoy a refreshing and rejuvenating bath. Your skin will smell fresh all day.
- Use the liquid as a hair rinse to get shining hair. It also helps in removing dandruff.
- A very innovative tip: Take the juice of 2 oranges and freeze it in an ice tray. Rub your face with frozen orange juice cubes. It will instantly freshen you up and lift up the tiredness from your face. The juice will give your dull and oily face an instant sheen. And, the chilled ice cubes will close and minimize the size of your pores. This also provides relief to acne prone skin and pimples.

When I applied orange peel powder along with curd I felt very buring sensation on my face which I cannot tolerate….what is the reason
ummm…probably you might not be using a brand which is suiting you (generally the powders in the market have other ingredients which might not suit), in case you are using the branded orange peel powders. or, it might be because your skin is too sensitive. you can mix the orange peel powder with chickpea flour or multani mitti and then apply.
how many time this orange peel powder we can use in face per day plz tell us about
Does using milk on face causes pimple..??

I applied the natural orange peel powder which I had made it by drying in sun with curd I caused burning sensation on my face why so
hi Akhila. in that case, your skin is too sensitive and might not suit your skin. use tomato juice or potato juice instead.
can any one knows what is the name for sunnipindi in hindi
http://perfectskincareforyou.blogspot.in/2010/03/use-sunnipindi-for-skin.html
its mung dal powder
Rubbing organic orange on my face every night, and can i just say wow! My skin texture is improving so much as well as fading brown spots.
how long does it take for the pimples/dark spots to get away
there is no guarantee to any kind of home remedy. how faster it reacts on your skin depends on your skin type. it can take upto a week or two to notice any difference.
i am so glad to know your feedback 🙂
does anyone know how dry should the orange peel be? Should it be crackling? I’ve noticed that it’s easier to grind a crackling dry orange peel but it might not have much minerals left.
to make the orange peel powder, it should lose the entire moisture in it and should be like a dry autumn leaf. yes, crackling would probably be a right way to describe it. and, no, it doesn’t remove the minerals in it. only, don’t let the orange peel dry in direct sunlight.
tnx swati.
nice tips
🙂
very nice tips
If I use orange juice for drinking does it make any difference? Instead of applying this?
yes, it helps the skin and body internally so its equally good.
Drinking orange juice is much better than applying on the skin because it takes time to penetrate into your skin and react to the problem. But in case of drinking, intake gives better results as it helps and boosts your immunity well.
Does putting orange peels under your eyes really help with bags?
no it doesn’t…check this out: https://swathyandsky.com/2010/03/anti-aging-skin-care-part-iii.html

you can apply it anytime at night or evening. just make sure your skin is clean.

is it for the children also to use the fresh orange juice directly to the skin all over the body.Please answer soon.
do not use orange juice on kids. its too strong for their skin.
will the daily application of orange juice directly on skin for both adult and children make the skin dry because of its acidic power?I am following these steps everyday on my childs skin that 1.APPLICATION OF ORANGE JUICE ON SKIN.2.APPLICATION OF MILK CREAM ON THE SKIN.3.APPLICATION OF A CREAM ENRICHED WITH VITAMIN E.Avoiding of vit E enriched cream,will cause any problem.
hey…yes, do not use orange juice on a kid. i would suggest you to just use handmade soaps and some good lotion to moisturize. their skin is very sensitive. and, don’t forget sunscreen if the kid goes out to play a lot.
will daily application of orange juice on skin of a child make it dry?After applying it I am using the milk cream.Is it good or bad? Her skin is a dry one.
Does anybody know how many days are we supposed to leave the liquid in the fridge
just till it gets frozen or if you are talking about how many days can you leave the orange juice without needing to squeeze the fresh one, i would say use it as soon as it is squeezed because the enzymes in the fresh juices disintegrate very fast!
what would be the most effective for scars and blemishes from acne? Is orange peel or banana peel?..
well, it actually depends on the skin type. generally, i would say banana peel or use both of them alternatively!!
helooo ..
How can i regain my natural skin color. It becomes darker due to pimple’s scars and sun rays plzz.. Give me some useful tips. Can i use the method of orange peels ?? Is it beneficial for boys ?? Also , my skin is oily.
yes, the orange peel method is beneficial for guys as well. to get rid of the scars, use potato juice on them. let it dry and wash off and moisturize. it helps with tanning as well.

Hi…. I’m getting too much of blackheads… even if I remove…. dey jst keep on coming….. can u tell me anyway to completely remove it or stop it frm coming???
hi. blackheads occur due to the oxidation of oil in the pores. this is an ongoing problem and can not be stopped unless you are using non-comedogenic products. so, get a face wash with salicylic acid like garnier pore unclogging face wash. and, use a moisturizer which is not too heavy for your skin. also, exfoliate your skin once in 3 days. is your skin oily?
Am very dark,I want to lighten my skin.pls can u help wit sum home remedies

Madam I was applying orange powder with multani mathi mixed from pasr four days now many pimples came on my face what to do plzzzz suggest
Hi ayeesha. You should not use multani mitti everyday. It is detoxifying so use it two or three times a week depending on your skin is dry or oily.
I can mix Orange juice or pour orange juice inside my body cream and apply daily? Without any side effect?
I rub the orange curbs on my face, does it help at all?
Pls answer asap
I have applied orange paste on my skin but it started burning why do it happen?
Yes I too had the same problem when I applied orange peel powder +curd + honey +Besan. I had burning sensation and immediately I washed my face. Note: orange peel powder done in home only (dried under sunlight & powdered).
