Here are some of the skincare benefits of doing an orange facial at home:

1. Antioxidant dose

An orange is loaded with Vitamin C and that is why it has antioxidants that can fight the free radicals present in the skin, giving it a very healthy glow.

2. Treat acne

They are also enriched with citric acid and that helps in drying out pimples and preventing acne. Oranges also come with bleaching properties that help lighten the skin tone.

3. Brighten up your skin

Orange facial helps to exfoliate the skin and remove the dead skin cells that make the skin dull. It speeds up the cell regeneration process in your skin.

4. Anti-ageing treatment

It moisturizes the skin deeply. Oranges also help in slowing down the process of ageing and treat wrinkles and blemishes.

5. Regulates sebum production

This orange facial helps in absorbing extra oils from the face. Regular usage of this facial can also make the skin healthier and supple.

6. Smooth out your skin

A skincare routine with orange can help shrink the pores on your skin. This will give the skin a smoother and lustrous glow.
