How To Make Vitamin C Serum From Orange Peel
1. Take a couple of oranges and, grate their outer cover.
2. Make sure you are only grating the orange till it is orange in color. Do not grate the white part of the orange for this DIY recipe.
3. Add one cup of water to it. Put this mixture for boiling at high temperature on a gas stove.
4. When the mixture starts boiling, reduce the flame to a medium-low. Leave the mixture for 10-12 minutes.
5. The mixture will now get concentrated and all the Vitamin C juice from the oranges will get dissolved in water.
6. At this point, strain the Vitamin C juice into a bowl. Make sure you squeeze out all the juice from this mixture.
7. Take 1 tablespoon of Aloe Vera Gel and add it to the Vitamin C juice we made in the 1st step. Mix well till all lumps disappear. It is available on Amazon as well as any medical store.
8. Take any Vitamin E capsules available in the market. If you have oily skin, add one drop from the Vitamin E capsule. If you have normal/dry skin, you can add 2-4 drops as well.
9. If you feel that the mixture is still very thin, you can add more Aloe Vera Gel or glycerin into the mixture accordingly.
