Instructions

Method 1

• 1

  Put orange peels on a plate and place them in direct sunlight. Allow the orange peels to dry completely. Do not leave them in an area where ants can easily get to them.

• 2

  Use the herb grinder to grind the orange peels after they are completely dry. You will want to grind the peels until they appear as a powdery substance.

• 3

  Slowly add raw milk to the powder that you made from the orange peels and mix. Stop adding milk as soon as the two ingredients form a pasty substance.

• 4

  Apply the mixture to your skin at least once a day. Once the mixture dries on your skin, gently rinse it off with lukewarm water and dry skin with a towel.

Method 2

• 5

  Put sandalwood powder into a bowl you can use for mixing. Set it to the side.

• 6

  Get the lemon juice, tomato juice and cucumber juice ready. You will only need enough to basically get the sandalwood powder wet.

• 7

  Mix together equal parts of each of the juices.

• 8

  Slowly pour the mixture of juices into the sandalwood powder and stir. Continue pouring in the juices until you have a nice pasty mixture.

• 9

  Apply the mixture to your skin daily. Allow the mixture to dry on your skin and then gently rinse it off with lukewarm water. Towel dry.

Method 3

• 10

  Pour 2 tbsp. of gram flour into a bowl you can use for mixing. Add a pinch of turmeric.

• 11

  Add a few drops of lemon juice to the turmeric and gram flour mixture. Add the same amount of milk cream.

• 12

  Mix the ingredients as you add the lemon juice and milk cream. If you have a pasty substance, then you are finished. If not, continue adding equal amounts of lemon juice and milk cream (while stirring) until you have a pasty substance.

• 13

  Apply the mixture to your skin once you have a pasty substance. Allow it to dry, then scrub it off with a washcloth. Rinse with lukewarm water and towel dry.
