Give this DIY carrot face mask a go if you want bright and glowing skin! Carrots are rich in vitamin b and other nutrients that give skin a golden boost.
I’ve never really given a thought to using fresh carrots for beauty. But then I discovered they have a lot to offer for beautiful skin! Carrots are well known for promoting healthy eye sight. I’m sure all our moms and dads told us to eat carrots so our eyes could be healthy. It’s true, by the way, since carrots are full of beta carotene that is converted into vitamin A in the body. Vitamin A improves eye health and night vision.
Anyway, so what do carrots do for skin? First off, as mentioned above, carrots are rich in beta carotene. This compound beta carotene is amazing for skin. It works to beautify skin from the inside and outside!
Many commercial beauty products and skin creams contain beta carotene for a reason! When you apply a carrot face mask topically, beta carotene enables the healing retinols in it to penetrate the skin, providing deep healing on a cellular level.
