Love the citrusy smell?

A whiff will bring back those lovely days when you sold lemonades to collect funds for your school project.

Not only does sweet orange has several health benefits, but it has stunning beauty benefits as well.

Sweet oranges are one of the most popular fruits in the world. While their origin is still a mystery, their cultivation started in eastern Asia some thousands of years ago. Sweet oranges are rich in vitamin C, thiamine, fiber, folate, and antioxidants.

Pamper your skin with the goodness of sweet orange

The sweet orange essential oil has anti-inflammatory and antiseptic properties. It increases the ability of the body to absorb vitamin C, boosts blood flow, and increases collagen production and brightens the complexion of the skin. Its generally considered a safe oil used for sensitive as well as acne-prone skin with little to no skin irritation.

Hydrating lip balm

Sweet orange essential oil forms an occlusive layer over your lips to protect it from external exposure, making your lips smooth and plump. Being a food source, it is suitable to use in a blend on the lips. Blend equal amounts of mango and cocoa butter and drizzle a few drops of sweet orange essential oil. Store it in a sealable tin container. Not only does it smell delicious, but it prevents your lips from getting cracked.

Antiaging exfoliate for youthful skin

Sweet orange essential oil reduces dark spots, tightens facial pores, reduces wrinkles, plumps up fine lines, and makes your skin supple and elastic. Sweet orange is a natural source of vitamin C which is a potent antioxidant. It fights free radicals and helps in the natural regeneration process of cellular turnover. It also helps to repair damaged skin cells giving a youthful glow.

Acne buster for smooth skin

Acne and blemishes can often be due to excess or an increase of sebum production, clogging pores and leading to breakouts. Sweet orange oil has potent antibacterial properties that heal your skin from acne break outs. Likewise, its antiseptic properties prevent the spread of acne.

A rich source of soothing skin enzymes, this aromatic oil keeps your skin clear and blemish-free. Also, it helps to balance excess sebum. Whatever your skin type, dry, oily, combination, or blemish-prone, sweet orange essential oil can be beneficial to all.

The vitamin C content in sweet orange essential oil can help with scarring and reduce inflammation and redness. Also, it enhances collagen and elastin production helping your skin repair itself as efficiently as possible.

Gives a healthy skin workout

The topical application of orange essential oil helps to maintain the texture, appearance, and health of the skin by promoting smoothness, radiance, and clarity. Massaging this aromatic oil into your skin boosts blood circulation giving your skin a healthy workout. Increased blood flow gives a warm glow to your skin-boosting overall health and energy. Blend it with sweet almond or apricot kernel to give yourself a facial massage.

Brightens dull complexion

Dull, tired skin is due to poor circulation, accumulation of dead skin cells, sun exposure, and dehydration. The vitamin C present in the sweet orange essential oil is a potent antioxidant; it helps to protect the skin from damaging free radicals caused from sun exposure. Also, it inhibits melanin production and lightens brown spots and hyperpigmentation, promoting a more overall even toned and radiant looking skin. Sweet orange essential oil is also a detoxifier: it flushes out toxins from your skin, improving circulation and restoring the lost radiance and suppleness.
