This citrus will always be associated with the New Year holidays, bringing only joy to the house. But orange has a positive effect not only on gourmets - it will also bring great benefits to those who try to take care of their appearance. The properties of the bright fruit have already become firmly established in folk cosmetology recipes and have an effective effect on all skin types.
Composition and properties of orange
Composition of an orange
1. Organic acids
– in the field of cosmetology and the beauty industry they are used as natural elements for effective peeling. Therefore, masks with orange, in any form, will provide the skin with deep cleansing and lightness. They will allow the skin to breathe and simply glow with health;
2. Vitamin C
– antioxidant for skin. Literally gives it a second life, slows down the aging process, and removes toxins. The content of this substance in orange is very high;
3. Vitamins A, B9, H – additional nutrition and hydration for the skin. They have a tonic effect, energize and give a delightful appearance.
Cons of an orange mask
But, along with its beneficial properties, orange is also a serious allergen. It can be a strong irritant. Therefore, before using it, you need to do a small test and check if there is a negative reaction on the skin.
Apply the prepared orange mask to your wrist and hold for 10-15 minutes. If there is no redness or discomfort, the mask can be applied to the face. And one more very important point: it is not advisable to use orange masks more than once every seven days.
Orange oil increases the photosensitivity of the skin, so you should use sunscreen after using it.
But in general, it’s quite difficult to pass by such an attractive fruit, and even more so if you know about its “hidden talents.” Don't forget that nature has given us a lot of simply magical skin care products that are usually at arm's length.
Do not deny yourself the pleasure of sharing its cheerfulness with orange and be sure to recharge with its positive energy by making your own face masks from orange.
Mechanism of action on the skin
Orange peel scrubs exfoliate dead epithelial particles and stimulate local blood circulation. They help get rid of cellulite and nourish the skin thanks to the essential oils contained in the zest.
Masks are useful for facial skin:
- They nourish the skin, soften it, and get rid of oily sheen.
- Vitamin C and antioxidants slow down the aging process and smooth out wrinkles.
- Citrus is a natural whitening agent and helps with acne.
- Anti-inflammatory properties help prevent breakouts.
- In addition, orange tightens pores. Oxygen metabolism is normalized, free radicals are removed, which accelerate aging and worsen appearance.
Oranges will also bring benefits when consumed internally: since they help remove toxic substances, the condition of the skin improves.
