Not only are carrots good for your health, they can tone and clarify your skin, since they are naturally antiseptic and packed with vitamins like beta carotene (Vitamin A aka retinol) and iron.

Benefits of Retinol to your Skin
Retinol fights fine lines and deep wrinkles. Whether you’re looking to prevent future signs of aging or hoping to appear years younger, here’s a homemade Retinol face mask to suit your needs. It not only reduces the appearance of fine lines and deep wrinkles, but also improves skin tone, the signs of photodamage and pore size. It increases cell production in the top layer of skin, so it helps to pep up the skin. Cells look smoother and skin looks younger.

Homemade masks made from carrots are most appropriate for people with normal to oily skin types but since you’re the chef to these beauty recipes, you can include other ingredients that suit your own needs.

If your skin tends to be more on the dry side, you can add some extra doses of extra virgin olive oil or even half of a mashed avocado to create a hydrating mask. Nosh on some carrots while you whip up this easy face mask that will be soothing and delicious for your skin!

Homemade Carrot Face Mask

  • Peel & steam carrots. Peel one large carrot and steam or boil until tender (when a fork can easily pierce through it, it’s ready). Mash the carrot with a fork or masher until it’s a creamy consistency.
  • Mix in yogurt, honey and extra virgin olive oil. Mix in 1 tbsp yogurt, half a tablespoon of honey and half a tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil. If your skin is oily, you may omit the extra virgin olive oil.
  • Add a few drops of lemon juice. Your skin type will depend on the amount of lemon juice you add in (lemon juice is a natural astringent, so the oilier your skin, the more lemon you want in your mask).
  • If you have OILY skin, add about 5 or more drops of lemon and if you have dry skin, add up to 1 tablespoon.
  • 1-1

  • Check consistency. The mixture shouldn’t be too clumpy or too runny. If the mix is too thick, you can add in a bit more extra virgin olive oil or water to thin it out. You can add a bit more honey to the mix to give it a thicker, paste-like texture.
  • Cool down. Let the mixture cool down so that the temperature is comfortable on your skin.
  • Mask time. Apply the carrot mask onto a clean and bare face, even your neck if you wish, but avoid the eye and mouth area. Leave it on for 10 -15 minutes and wash it off with warm water afterwards. Pat dry and follow up with your favorite moisturizer or eye cream.

Tip:

Like any skincare product, be sure to patch test the mask on yourself to ensure that negative reactions do not occur. If you ever feel any discomfort or irritation after you’ve applied the mask, wash it off immediately with warm water.

    I love this but. next time I will run the carrot through a food processor. Even though I mashed the Be-jesus out of it, it was still too lumpy. Thanks for all your great tips!
