New Delhi: Winter often leaves our skin feeling dull, dry, and flaky. It feels like a challenge to maintain great skin, particularly on special occasions.

By using fruit peels in face packs or gentle scrubs, you can cleanse, exfoliate and rejuvenate your skin without harsh chemicals.

Fruit peels for soft and glowing winter skin
1. Orange peel
Rich in vitamin C, orange peel helps fade dark spots, unclog pores and improve collagen production. It works as a natural exfoliator, giving the skin a fresh, glowing look. Mix dried orange peel powder with honey or yoghurt and apply for 15 to 20 minutes before rinsing.
2. Banana peel
Loaded with potassium and vitamins B6 and B12, banana peel nourishes dry skin and helps reduce acne. Gently rub the inside of the peel on your face, leave it for 15 minutes, and rinse for a smooth, hydrated feel.
3. Pomegranate peel
Pomegranate peels are high in antioxidants and vitamin C. They help detoxify, prevent pimples and slow signs of ageing. Mix pomegranate peel powder with water or yoghurt to make a soothing face mask.
4. Kiwi peel
Kiwi peel contains antioxidants, fibre and vitamin C, making it great for exfoliation. Rub the inside of the peel gently on your face to remove dead skin and boost brightness.
5. Apple peel
Apple peel is rich in vitamins A and C, which improve skin texture and tighten pores. Boil the peels, strain, cool the water and use it as a refreshing toner.
6. Avocado peel
Avocado peel contains vitamins B and E and natural oils that deeply moisturise the skin. Rub the inner side of the peel on your face for soft, supple skin with an anti-ageing glow.
Using fruit peels in your skincare routine is a simple, sustainable way to pamper your skin this winter, giving you a healthy, hydrated glow straight from nature.
