You will need…
1. Rinse your face with water and
pat dry.
2. Grind/pound up your orange
peels (you could use a blender,
mortar and pestle) and add a little
water to create a paste.
3. Add a little at a time, as too
much will make it too thin and
runny. Once you have the right
consistency, apply it to your face
and/or problem areas.
4. Wait for 20-25 minutes. Ideally
the mask should be firm, but it can
still work if it isn’t.
5. Rinse off completely with
water, pat your face dry, and apply
a good moisturize.

1. Wash your face with water and
pat almost dry, leaving it a bit
damp. 2. Grate 1 raw potato and
rub the pulp and juice onto your
face for a few minutes in a circular
motion.
3. Let it dry for 15-30 minutes, and
then rinse off completely with

1. Either extract the garlic
juice and mix it with 1
teaspoons or so of water, or
mash up 2-3 cloves and let sit
in water for about 10 minutes.
2. Using a cotton pad, soak
up the juice or garlic water
and cover problem spots. If
you don’t have a cotton pad
or something similar to apply
it with, the mixture can be a
bit runny and hard to work
with. In this case, substitute
aloe vera gel for water.
3. If you choose to ingest
garlic, a clove or two a day
should be enough. Prepare it
however you like.
