Orange Face Mask - Oranges are the most gentle citrus fruits which can be used in a face mask
. Rich in Vitamin C, zinc and antioxidants makes this face mask ideal for an acne treatment. In our recipe we have used freshly squeezed orange juice, but you can use fresh orange juice out of a cartoon as long as you are sure it’s the real thing.
If you want an even stronger mask try using grapefruit juice, which is great for bleaching the skin, freckles, spots and blemishes.
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
.
Fuller's Earth sometimes called green clay, is deep cleansing, removing impurities from the skin. Adding the orange juice in this recipe makes this a really special mask. However, if you have run out of oranges, Fuller's Earth and water has all the benefits of a great mask for oily and acne
skin.
If you have oily skin or acne a steam facial at least once a week really helps unblock the pores, reducing spots and boils.
