Have fun making this anti-oxidant rich DIY carrot face cream!
This DIY carrot face cream uses carrot seed oil as the star ingredient. Carrot seed oil is amazing for skin! I’ve talked about its Beauty Benefits before. It is especially good for anti-aging, brightening the skin and fading off blemishes and dark spots. It’s also good for protecting the skin from sun damage!
By combining other nourishing ingredients with carrot seed oil, we can create a lovely DIY carrot face cream that you’ll enjoy applying on your face!
Note:
- This recipe is suitable for normal skin, mature skin, sensitive skin and dry skin. If you have acne prone skin or oily skin, you can check out my 3 DIY Shea Butter Face Cream Recipes
- Cold pressed carrot seed oil is different from carrot seed essential oil. Cold pressed carrot seed oil is a carrier oil. It may be yellow to orange in color which may give your face cream a slightly yellow appearance. Carrot seed essential oil is very powerful and only a few drops should be used.
