All citrus fruits are rich in alpha hyroxy. Alpha hyroxy is a natural exfoliate which works by unblocking the pores and easing away dead skin cells on the epidermis. Because of this action don’t use citrus fruit on your skin if you are going to be in sunlight within four hours. They can have a photo-sensitizing effect on the skin, increasing the skin’s sensitivity to the sunlight and making it more likely to burn .
