How to Make a Carrot Face Mask at Home

This is a natural and easy to make face mask that will make your skin brighter!

How to Make It

You only need one carrot - ¼ of it, to be precise. So, peel it, and boil until it becomes soft.

Remove from the heat, transfer to a bowl, and mash it using a fork.

Now, add 1 teaspoon of raw honey and 2 drops of lavender essential oil to it, and mix well.

To use, apply onto your clean face with your fingertips, avoiding the area around the eyes and mouth.

Rinse off after 10 minutes with cool water, pat your face dry, and moisturize your face if needed.

Why Carrot?

We all heard that carrots are good for eyesight, because they contain lots of beta carotene, which transforms into vitamin A inside our body, when the need for it arises.

And what about skin? The same beta carotene is very beneficial for skin too, because it heals the skin cells.

Other benefits of carrot for skin include skin brightening and softening, delaying of wrinkles and fine lines, fading of dark spots, and the improvement of skin elasticity.

Another Carrot Face Mask Recipe

It starts in a similar way: take one carrot, peel it, boil it until it becomes tender, then mash it with a fork.

Then mix in 1/2 tablespoon each of honey and extra virgin olive oil; if you have oily skin, then add less olive oil.

Now, if you have oily skin, add to this mixture up to 1 tablespoon of lemon juice; for dry skin 8 drops is enough.

Mix the ingredients - if the mixture is too thick, add more olive oil or some water; if it's a bit watery, add more honey.

How to Use It

The mask should be of a comfortable temperature; apply it on your clean face and neck, avoiding the eye and mouth area.

Wash it off after 10-15 minutes with warm water, pat dry your face, and moisturize if needed.

Do a patch test before applying the mask to make sure you don’t have an allergy to its ingredients.
