Skin Therapist Shares How To Make Carrot Oil

CARROT OIL

Carrot popularly referred to as "Karoto" by the Ancient Greeks is one of nature's greatest gift to humanity,no wonder an average person will consume 10,866 carrots in a lifetime.

Carrots are rich in nutrients such as vitamins A, beta-carotene(responsible for its orange color) and  a multitude of other antioxidants.. The taproot of carrot( the edible part) serves a variety of purposes. From health benefits related to consumption to cosmetic uses.

 They moisturize the skin ensuring a healthier and glowing skin. Carrots do not contain enough oils to make their own oil, carrot oil is made by infusing other types of natural oils with carrot pulp.

Carrot oil has many beneficial and revivifying skin properties and can be added to face masks, moisturizers, lotions, night creams etc. I love to apply carrot oil on my skin in the mornings. How I love the " faux dark yellowish glow " it gives me!

It triggers the build up of new skin cells and ensures cell turnover to retain the skin's suppleness. A young looking, soft and smooth skin is what you get after continous use of this magic oil. It prevents irritations, alleviates irritated skin as well healing parched,rough and split skin. Carrot oil can be used by all for aesthetic purposes. However, pregnant women should consult their healthcare personnel before use.



For this DIY product, I infused 12 blended carrots into about 100ml of olive oil. I got about 40ml of oil after production. Have you made your carrot oil yet?
