Over time, as well as under the influence of sun, pollution, and free radicals, skin begins to lose its radiance, and pigmentation, spots, and dark areas appear. Expensive Vitamin C serums and lightening creams available in stores often contain chemicals that can harm the skin in the long run.
In such cases, you can prepare a 100% pure and effective natural orange gel using fresh orange juice, orange zest extract, aloe vera gel, and Vitamin E, which are available at home in the kitchen. Oranges are rich in Vitamin C and citric acid, which cleanse skin tone, lighten spots, and stimulate the production of natural collagen. With daily application at night, the skin becomes velvety, flawless, and radiant in just 15 days.
The following ingredients are required for preparation: 2 large fresh oranges (juice and grated zest), 3 tablespoons of aloe vera gel, 1 Vitamin E capsule, 1 teaspoon of glycerin, 1/2 teaspoon of almond oil, and 1/2 cup of water.
In a saucepan, mix half a cup of water, 2 tablespoons of freshly squeezed orange juice, and 1 tablespoon of grated orange zest. Simmer the mixture slowly for 3-4 minutes until the liquid volume is reduced by half. After this, it must be strained and completely cooled.
In a clean and dry bowl, take 3 tablespoons of aloe vera gel. Add the oil from one Vitamin E capsule, 1 teaspoon of glycerin, and almond oil. Then, gradually add the prepared cold orange extract (1-2 teaspoons) to this mixture, constantly whisking with a fork for 2-3 minutes. This mixture will gradually turn into a velvety, thick, light orange gel.
The finished orange gel should be transferred to a clean and dry glass jar. It can be stored in the refrigerator and used for 15 days. Every day before bed, wash your face with clean water. Take a little gel and massage it into your face and neck in circular motions for 2 minutes, leaving it on overnight.
