How to use DIY orange zest sugar scrub

If you have not tried orange zest on the skin before, I suggest you test a small portion.

Whatever result you get tells you if it is good for you.

And if your results are excellent, go ahead and exfoliate your body with the citrus body scrub following a bath.

Then moisturize thereafter.

When to use your orange peel sugar scrub

Whenever you choose to use your orange sugar scrub is entirely up to you.

And the number of times weekly depends on your skin type. But exfoliating maybe twice a week should be enough.

Just do what works for you.

Benefits of orange zest to the skin

• Orange zest is high in vitamin C, which brightens dull skin
• It also fights acne and clears dead skin cells
• Orange peels contain anti-oxidants that protect your skin from getting too dry or oily.
• Because vitamin C makes the skin lighter, this orange sugar scrub may help brighten dark underarms at home.

How to store DIY orange sugar scrub

• If you make this scrub today, it will have a yellow crystalline appearance.
• But by the next day, you would notice a rich orange color because the sugar and citrus zest have bonded together overnight.
• This orange sugar scrub can last up to a week in your refrigerator. But I suggest you make it today, use it tomorrow, and make a fresh batch next time.
• After a week or a couple of weeks, the zest will begin to turn brown, which means your zesty orange sugar scrub has stayed too long.
• Also, your orange scrub won’t smell as zesty as the first time once it starts turning brown.
