During a recent trip to the grocery store, I came across these gorgeous Spanish
mandarins being sold with their stems still intact. I couldn’t resist bringing
them home to snap some photos, only to be inspired by their beautiful fragrance.
With my hair and skin feeling the effects of a long winter, I decided
to make a little scrub perfect for bringing your skin back to life.
to make a little scrub perfect for bringing your skin back to life.
Mandarin peels contain essential oils used in the perfume industry and skin
care preparations. We all know citrus fruits are great for the skin as they are
rich in antioxidants, but mandarin peels are also rich in vitamin C and E, which
are essential for healthy looking skin. The oil found in mandarins have also been
found to help aid the growth and restoration of new cells and tissue.
Combine all that with its gorgeous scent
and this fruit yields the perfect body scrub.
The best part is it takes no time to make and it’s all natural.

Awesome idea! I love home-made and natural everything. I have one concern though, often citrus fruits are being sprayed with paint to get better look. Therefore, it might not be so good idea to use the peel, unless you can be certain it is chemical-free. Otherwise, I am sure this will be one amazingly scented and invigorating body scrub.

If you need to find good beauty and health cosmetics for yourself, then you should first of all choose from proven companies, where you will not be cheated and then you will not have to return the money. I have many times taken in one of the companies, you can read here about Instaflex reviews and learn more about whether you should order a special vitamin complex and many other things. I hope I was able to help someone!
Don’t skimp on your health. Better than any scrub, Lymphatic Massage will help. This is a type of massage that allows you to increase metabolism, speed up blood circulation and lymph movement, and strengthen the immune system.
