Orange and Lemon Peel.
A mask made from orange and lemon peels can also be used to remove a mustache. Orange and lemon oils are used in many beauty products and are contained within the peels. These ingredients have the power to naturally cleanse the skin, bleach hair, and then eventually make the hair go away altogether. Here are the ingredients you will need to make this mask:
- One to two teaspoons of olive oil
- One teaspoon of dry orange peel
- One teaspoon of dry lemon peel
- One teaspoon of ground almonds
- One teaspoon of oatmeal
- One teaspoon of rose water
Here is what you will do:
- Grind the dry lemon and orange peels into a powder. This is easy to do with a small electric coffee grinder, or a mortar and pestle. If you use a coffee grinder, don’t use the same one you use for coffee unless you want your coffee to taste like orange peels and your face mask to smell like coffee. Luckily, coffee grinders can be gotten inexpensively.
- Add the oatmeal and almond meal to this powder mixture.
- Stir the powder well, and then add enough olive oil and rose water to form a paste.
- Apply this paste to your face, and then just let it sit there for five to seven minutes.
- Use your fingers to massage in circular strokes. Keep doing this for five to ten minutes.
- Wash your face with water. This mixture should be applied regularly, at least twice a week.

- Stir it well and then add enough water to get a fine paste.
- Apply this fenugreek paste to your face and wait for it to dry.
- Gently wipe off the dry paste using a soft, dry piece of cloth.
