4 DIY Fruit Masks for All Skin Types

One of the benefits of using seasonal ingredients is that not only do they do well for your general health; they also have a knack of making your skin glow. This is because what’s considered good as a food item is inexorably capable of being applied on the skin.
For instance, an orange peel has a lot more of Vitamin C than the fruit itself. That apart, the peel also boasts of other useful skin promoting agents like antioxidants, which is why millions of people use only the peel as a face pack to impart that much-cherished skin glow.
Orange peel can be placed directly under the sun in a powdered form. Store it an air tight container and keep it safely for the next 8-10 months or blend it with other base ingredients for that younger looking skin.
Apart from offering traditional medicinal properties for all round good skin health, face packs made with an orange peel also make for great face cleansers.
