Lets start with mask. Mix equal amounts of orange peel powder and milk properly to form a smooth paste. Let it stand for an hour or two. Then apply it evenly all over your face and keep it for about half an hour. Rinse your face with cold water. Make sure not to rub your face as it may cause damage to your skin. This acts as a great bleach for your skin.
Now lets prepare a body scrub out of it. You may use the same mixture as above or mix it with a little water and rub your body with it. It will remove all the dead cells and give you an instant glow.
