With the weather playing havoc on the face these winter months, I thought I'd head to the kitchen cupboard again and bring you a simple but effective real carrot face mask, especially for dry skin.
High in beta-carotene, carrots have wonderful natural antioxidant benefits, known to help with tissue repair, cell regeneration, fine lines, and aging. The vitamin A from carrot juice is reportedly higher than that of any other fruit juice. Honey is gentle to the skin. It attracts and holds on to moisture, making it a natural humectant. Warming the honey first helps to make it easier to work with.
Simply Carrots Face Mask
You will need:
1 or 2 carrots
2 - 4 tablespoons honey
How to:
Cook the carrots in a little water, then mash with a fork and mix in the honey. Apply the paste gently to the face, avoiding the eye area. Leave on for about ten minutes. Wipe away with warm damp face cloth.
Notes: Always test for allergies first. Be sure to throw away any unused mask, as it is not preserved.
