A SKINCARE fan has shared the anti-aging secret passed down by her mom. She explained that her mom swore by reusing food scraps as an anti-aging toner. Redditor Puppiesnprada shared the beauty tip in a post.
Instead of a traditional store-bought product, she explained that her mom turned to nature for her skin needs. "My mom always rubbed citrus fruit peels on her skin and had me doing so since I was a teen," she said. As she grew older, she realized why her mom had adopted the practice.
"I realize it was an old-school way of getting topical vitamin C!" she said. "Apparently it’s been an East Asian beauty practice for centuries." Others who were in the know about the method indulged more information on it.
One commenter explained that the trick is to utilize the outer side of orange peels directly on the skin. "I roll it into a cylinder to release the oils before rubbing," they said. Others shared tips and tricks they picked up from their mothers and grandmothers.
One beauty fan emphasized the importance of bringing your facial skincare products downwards. "Always remember to moisturize your neck too!" they said. One Redditor, unaware of the advice, explained that she'd been trying to reverse her mistake.
"I learned that the hard way when I turned 35 and have been trying to take care of it since," she said. Topical Vitamin C has several benefits for skin including hydrating, reducing redness, and hyperpigmentation. According to Healthline , it may also help to promote colla.
