Homemade Skin Care Products Made with Indian River Citrus Fruits

Making your own skin care products at home is a great way to take care of your skin without spending a lot of money. But, when you’re making your own skin care products at home you should use the best ingredients you can get, like Indian River citrus fruits for juice and pulp. Orange and grapefruit juices are used in many home skin care products because they have antioxidants in them along with lots of vitamins and minerals that your skin needs. Drinking the juice will help your body stay healthy, using them in skin care products will make your skin look healthy and soft and will make the products smell wonderful. Indian River citrus has the reputation of being the best citrus in the world, so it only makes sense to use oranges and grapefruits that are grown in the Indian River area in your homemade skin care items. Here are some easy to make basic skin care products you should use every day if you want naturally healthy skin:

Grapefruit toner – Use this simple toner after you wash your face in the morning and at night to help repair any damage from the day and protect your skin. You’ll need a small jar or bottle. Fill the bottle halfway with fresh grapefruit juice, and halfway with witch hazel. You can get witch hazel at any drugstore either in the skin care aisle or the first aid aisle. Add a drop or two of tea tree oil if you want. Then mix together and use. Make sure that the grapefruit you use is Indian River citrus fruit, since Indian River grapefruits are known to be the best in the world.

Citrus facial scrub – This is a great exfoliating scrub that smells wonderful and will help you wake up every morning. Use it on your whole body when you need to exfoliate, especially on your feet during the summer months. In a mixing bowl combine two cups of white granulated sugar, about a cup of fresh orange juice, about half a cup of grapefruit juice, and one egg. Mix together well and spoon into a container. Keep this scrub in the refrigerator when you’re not using it so that it will last longer. Even if you’re already making your skincare products at home you’ll see a difference when you start using Indian River citrus instead of other citrus fruits. The quality of Indian River citrus will impress you and you won’t want to use anything else in the future.
