Carrot and Honey Anti-Ageing Face Mask: Do It Yourself

Carrot and Honey Anti-Ageing Face Mask: Do It Yourself

Hey Friends,

How are you all! I have been busy with celebrations and guests for a while 😛 Meanwhile, I just enjoyed reading all delicious, nourishing DIYs here.  I have learnt a lot from IMBB and still learning handling makeup brushes and pots 😀 Its time for me to share my two cents on anti-ageing skin care face mask recipe which I got from my mum, I hope you will love it.

We all know about retinols, as vital beauty vitamin in today’s date.  Retinol (Vitamin A) not only enhances eyesight, but also is an important anti-ageing vitamin.  It is a vital ingredient in almost all night creams and also acne gels and creams. It creates wonders on skin when applied naturally. I was also keen to try retinol on skin; however, I was wary as retinol has side effects on sensitive skin and there was a probability of me getting photosensitive skin. Moreover, I also read somewhere that most of market products hardly contain retinols or vitamins! Hence, I opted to go for retinol treatment naturally. When we talk about winter care, we should not forget about carrots.  They are the most easiest way of getting the benefits of retinol.  Carrots are our favorite pick during winters. As my baby loves sweet and salty carrot puree and we love yummy “gajar ka halwa,” I never felt the need of putting extra effort to make this face mask.  I simply prepare carrot puree for my baby and steal a little bit for my face.

Now, without wasting your precious time, let me show you how to make this face mask:

Procedure:

Step 1:

Just peel a few baby carrots or regular carrots and steam them for a while in an oven or cooker to make them soft. Usually, oily skin beauties are supposed to use raw carrot, but I fall under sensitive skin category, so I prefer to boil carrots before using on skin especially during winters.

Step 2:

Take the boiled carrots and mash them into a creamy paste.  I prefer mashing manually by spoon as food processor thins it down into puree form which is almost runny.

Step 3:

Finally, add 1 tsp oatmeal to make a thick paste and also to hydrate skin as retinol tends to exfoliate and may be drying on skin.

Step 4:

Finally, add honey to nourish your skin with anti-bacterial properties of honey.

That’s it, you are done with nourishing carrot face mask which gives you anti-ageing benefits of retinol.

Just leave it on for 10-15 minutes and then wash off with lukewarm water, followed by moisturizer as it causes a little tingling and drying afterwards!

I must say I am really happy to treat my skin with natural retinol.  I haven’t experienced any side effects, but yes, do make sure to use it only on alternate days and not on a daily basis, as my skin turned oragnish when I used it regularly.
