How to make orange peel powder
For making all these face masks, use sun-dried and powdered orange peels. To make powdered orange peel, wash the orange peel in distilled water. Then spread the peels on a tray and place them in areas which receive plenty of sunshine. Let orange peels dry in the sun for a day or two then crush the peels into a powder using a blender. You can store the powder in an air-tight container.
