 Try these DIY lemon peel powder packs perfectly for radiant skin

 

Whether tanning is troubling you or fighting with dullness, or praying for baby soft skin--let lemon peels come to your rescue through different ways, before I have already shared how to orange peel powder which is also one of the best magical ingredient to add in skin care regime and While dried orange peel and lemon peel are sold in markets and natural food stores, they can be difficult to find the pure one. The good news is that dried citrus peel is quite easy to make at home, and can be made with or without the help of an oven—no fancy dehydrating equipment required.

 

And the most important factor is you don’t even need lemon juice to get the job done–lemon peels are enough. So the next time you squeeze lemon juice, don’t throw the peels away. Instead, use them for a lemon peel powder for radiant skin.

I always prefer to using homemade powders for my skin which is pure, hygiene and effective.

Researches also prove the fact that A 2017 July study published in The Journal of Clinical and Aesthetic Dermatology noted that vitamin C (which, by the way, lemons are loaded with) is the most powerful skin antioxidant. The paper claims that topical vitamin C offers powerful protection from sun damage, pigmentation, and ageing.

 

So I guess you can understand how excellent it is for our skin so have a look how it is easy to make and the best part you need not spend anything for making natural lemon peel powder which can be use in multiple ways for brighten up skin.

Ingredients:

1)       7-8 Lemons peels

2)       Sharp Knife or scissor

3)      Airtight container to store

4)      Mixer grinder to make the powder

 

Method:

Non cook method:

Firstly wash the lemon thoroughly and cut from middle and squeeze the juice.

 Use a fine-bladed paring knife or sharp scissor or vegetable peeler to trim or slice the peel into small parts as shown in picture

 The peels will also take much longer to dry if is in larger size

Lay the peels on a tray and place under the sun to dry. Make sure you cover the tray with a net or a thin cloth to prevent dust and other insects from getting into contact with them.

 Lay the strips on a plate (with the inside of the peels facing upwards) and let them dry in a warm, well-circulated, sunny place at room temperature for three to four days; As it may take 6 to 7 days for getting it fully dry.

Now how you know that they are fully dried until they have shriveled, lost their moisture, and is crisp.

Put  all your dried peel into your grinder/ mixer .and keep this in mind while making the powder as jar of grinder  is complete dry otherwise all it will spoil you powder.

Now for grind this have patience as in first run you will get the coarse powder and after second run you will get fine powder .

Store the powder in an air-tight jar. You may keep it at room temperature.

 

Speed method:

 If you are short on time, you can also dry them in a 200 F oven.

Spread them on a parchment-paper-lined baking sheet and dry in the oven for about 25 to 30 minutes.

If the peel starts to brown, turn off the oven for a few minutes, and rotate the pan.

 The peels will curl up and turn stiff when they're dry.

Then as usual grind this into grinder and store the powder into an air-tighter container.

You can easily store this up to 12 months.
