Why choose grated rind/peel of citrus fruit for skin exfoliation?
The grated tiny pieces are soft and act as a good exfoliator on sensitive and dry skin. It does not hurt or rip off the top layer of the skin. Instead it gently lifts up the dirt and dead skin cells leaving the skin with a polished look.
Moreover, citrus fruits are known for their acidic properties which help in dissolving and loosening sweat and grime from skin pores which makes it easy to wash off with warm water.
