Janhvi Kapoor loves fruits; but not simply for breakfast. The Kapoor Khandaan taught her to be more resourceful in life; especially her mother, Sridevi, who taught her most of what she knows about skincare. That’s why she turns all of her fruity, citrusy leftovers into fixes for the skin.
High in Vitamin C, the fruit Janhvi consumes and applies to her face promises a quick, simple glow-up, and I’ve even seen it happen. But you need to see it for yourself to believe it. Read on!
The ‘Mystery’ Fruit Janhvi Loves
Oranges. Janhvi simply cuts an orange in half before she massages her face with it for a couple of seconds. This she does for a couple of seconds. But why? What do oranges offer the skin that other fruits cannot?
They’re Brightening
Like lemons, oranges are rich in Vitamin C. This means that they’re excellent at brightening the skin and fading pigmentation and spots. This makes your skin look even-toned and smooth.
They’re Age Defying
Vitamin C has also been said to stimulate the production of collagen; the protein that’s responsible for the firmness of your skin. The more the collagen, the tighter the skin, and the lesser the visibility of lines and wrinkles.
They’re Exfoliating
The scrubbing and massaging exfoliates the face and removes dirt and build-up from the surface. This tackles dullness much more effectively. And since oranges contain antioxidants, they help with exfoliation too.
They’re Soothing
Since oranges contain anti-inflammatory properties, they can reduce inflammation and redness as well.
They Prevent Acne
The citric acid in oranges is acidic. This allows it to clean the pores of dirt and debris. It even controls the excess production of oil; which reduces the occurrence of breakouts and acne in the process.
Tip: Janhvi suggests scrubbing the face gently to prevent rashes and cuts on the skin.
But if you’d rather not apply oranges directly on the skin, I’ve found you some orange-infused products instead.
