This easily available vegetable is a valuable cosmetic raw material and an excellent beautifying agent. Carrot juice contains substances, which are great for damaged skin. They are sulfur compounds, minerals, as well as vitamins B1 and B2, E (in green leaves), P and provitamin A. Vitamins affect not only the appearance of the skin, but also delay the aging process.
Carotene (an important ingredient of carrots) is converted into vitamin A in the body, which prevents hardening and keratosis of the skin.
In turn, vitamin P has a decongestant effect on dilated blood vessels.
Beta-carotene gives the complexion a golden hue, at the same time, it prevents cell destruction and neoplastic changes. The use of beta-carotene emulsion is not only protective, it also removes epidermal keratosis caused by UV rays and improves skin hydration.
If we regularly drink carrot juice (1 a glass a day at least for 2-3 weeks) or eat raw carrots in larger quantities, our skin will take on a nice color.
Our grandmothers already used carrot juice and oil to care for their skin. The simplest cosmetic procedure is tapping carrot juice. (Caution; after a few minutes, the juice should be washed off the face.) Mask – squeeze the juice out of 2 washed carrots and mix with 3 teaspoons of cottage cheese, 1 a teaspoon of linseed. We put the pulp on the face and leave it for half an hour. The mask is recommended for dry and sensitive skin. Carotene oil – young carrots (2-3 art) grate on a fine grater, pour olive oil (1/2 glasses) and leave it in the refrigerator overnight. Squeeze the pulp through gauze, pour the obtained oil into a dark bottle. Perfect for the care of dry and pale skin, as well as rough knees, elbows and cracked heels.
