How to remove dead skin cells with orange peels
The use of orange peel can help remove dead skin cells.
Orange peel makes for a gentle but effective scrub due to its leather-like texture. Plus, it contains calcium that gives it a granular feel and certain enzymes that help dissolve the dead epithelial cells accumulated on top of your skin for their easy removal.
When orange peel is rubbed on the skin, the tiny granules scoop out the cellular debris, excess sebum, and other impurities settled inside your pores. Plus, the massaging action helps increase blood circulation in the targeted area, which brings more nutrients and oxygen to the skin tissue.
The vitamin C from the orange peel is also absorbed into the skin to stimulate collagen synthesis. Collagen is a structural protein that forms new skin cells. Thus, this exfoliation process leads to faster cell renewal to form new healthy skin. The damaged skin gets removed and replaced by healthy new skin that forms underneath.
In sum, orange peel when used as a scrub can help remove blackheads, whiteheads, and dead skin as well as stimulate skin regeneration to fade scars and other blemishes.
