Natural Beauty tips: The Benefits of an Orange Exfoliating Scrub

Orange facial scrub

Do you want healthier and more vibrant skin? Most of us do. You can  have healthier and more vibrant skin by using all natural exfoliating scrubs. One of my favorite all natural exfoliating scrubs are oranges. Not only do I love eating oranges but I also love using oranges to maintain  health skin.

Oranges are great for your skin health  because the citrus fruits include a rich source of Vitamin C, which is known for creating vibrant skin.

I always feel extra refreshed and radiant after my daily orange exfoliating scrub. I do it first thing in the morning and right before bed to help me feel  energized.

It’s easy to make your very own orange exfoliating home right at home. Here’s what you will need:

  • 1 orange
  • 4tbsp of cornmeal
  • A bowl
  • Spoon
  • And a juicer

Once you have all your ingredients, start peeling away ( save those peels). Next, squeeze the juice and pulp of the orange into your bowl ( you can also use your juicer).

Afterwards, add your 4tbsp of cornmeal into the bow of orange mix. This will help you form a paste.

Use the orange exfoliation scrub during your show or bath to clean your whole body. You can also do a quick facial  with your orange exfoliation scrub, if you’re on the go. It only takes a 3 minute scrub to really benefit from the all natural exfoliation scrub.

Each mixture will only last two days because it will spoil. The fresher your mix, the better your skin results. I try to make a new batch every few days.

Try this homemade recipe today and be sure to do it on Valentine’s Day. For more great beauty advice, follow Fromgirltogirl on Facebook ( message us if you would like an order of our all natural exfoliation scrubs). I make them by the week using a variety of natural products.
