Not only when it's part of your diet, but even when it's used directly on your skin. Did you know that the peel is the healthiest part of the entire fruit? Surprising, isn’t it?

Orange peel benefits your skin in numerous ways. Originally famous for its healing properties and used in natural medicine, today it is often included in beauty products due to the essential oil it contains. The peel can benefit your skin immensely by treating various skin problems such as acne, blackheads and blemishes.

Acne and pimples are caused by the extra oil or bacteria that clog the pores of the skin. A brilliant way to ward-off acne and pimples from your face is by applying orange peel paste.
