How to Revive Your Weekend Spirit For the Work Week Ahead
Popular for health benefits and uplifting scents, citrus fruits can offer some amazing beauty benefits, too. Citrus fruits don’t just pack a powerful vitamin C punch, they’re also filled to the brim with anti-oxidants, anti-bacterial agents, and nutrients to help you fight off an array of hair and skin woes.
Citrus fruits like lemon, grapefruit, guava, and orange are essential for healthy hair and skin. Thanks to their abundance of benefits, these types of fruits are often used as key ingredients in beauty products.
So, if you’re looking for a way to not only revive hair and skin but carry on your weekend spirit throughout the work week, here’s a look at just some of the amazing benefits of citrus-based products.
- Citrus Brightens Skin
If your goal is glowing, clear, and blemish-free skin, you need to include more citrus in your diet and daily routine. The vitamin C in citrus fruits destroys free radicals in the body, paving the way for that weekend glow.
If you struggle with an even skin tone, citrus can also help with that. The potassium in citrus fruits helps to smooth out wrinkles and age spots, providing a protective shield against harmful UV rays. What’s more, the amino acids make skin soft and firm, too.

- Bye Bye Cellulite
Citrus fruits’ high concentration of vitamin C helps to stimulate collagen production, encouraging your skin to keep its elasticity. It helps smooth out cellulite bumps, too, improving the appearance of your skin.

- Exfoliation
Clogged pores and dead skin are not just gross, they do more harm than good. Orange peels are the answer. The coarse citrus peel is filled with vitamin C, an exceptional exfoliating and cleansing agent. It helps clear dead skin cells and shrinks pores, leaving you looking clear and glowing.
- Slow Down Signs of Aging
Vitamin C really is a beauty powerhouse. It helps boosts collagen production in the skin for improved elasticity, and the antioxidant properties fight off damaging free radicals, delaying the signs of aging.
- Reduce Pigmentation
Pigmentation and dark spots crop up when your skin is exposed to the sun’s UV rays. These UV rays deplete the skin’s antioxidants, leading to oxidative damage. Citrus products help prevent UV-induced photo damage and pigmentation, too.
- Reduce Stress
Two main reasons for an increase in your stress levels are the rise in blood pressure and the increase in cortisol, the stress hormone, during anxious situations. 
Citrus fruits, and scents combat both issues, helping you wave goodbye to stress.

- Boost Hair Volume
Citrus fruits are also a powerhouse of flavonoids that can help you lock in voluminous tresses. Citrus helps strengthen hair from the roots, improving the overall texture and strength, making it a great solution if you want to naturally treat thinning hair.
- Tones Skin
Rather than using chemically-laden toners, use citrus-based products on your skin every day to help achieve firmer skin that really holds onto its elasticity.
- Revive Your Spirit
Finally, citrus is renowned for its mood-boosting properties. 
Citrus oils, especially, are incredibly aromatic and uplifting when used in soaps, body washes, diffusers, mists, and even natural candles. The scent helps relieve signs of fatigue and stress, promoting relaxation and revived spirits just in time for your weekend!
