The Ingredients

1 TBSP cornstarch
5 TBSP carrot juice, freshly squeezed
1 TBSP low-fat sour cream

Instructions for Making the Carrot Mask

Dissolve the cornstarch in a half a glass of water. Use room temperature water for easier mixing.
Whisk the water and cornstarch together.
Take out a small saucepan and add the cornstarch plus another 100 ml of boiling water.
Allow this mixture to thicken.
Let it cool down some.
Then add in the sour cream and the fresh carrot juice.
Mix the three ingredients together thoroughly.
Apply it to the face and leave it on your face for half an hour.
When you’re ready to remove the mask, rinse it off with warm water.
Once you’re done, apply a layer of moisturizer or cream to the face.

Tips for Making and Using the Carrot Mask

  • What if you don’t own a juicer to make the carrot juice? No problem. You’ll want to grate the carrots – go for organic for even better results – and drop them in the blender.
  • Once you’ve ground them up, strain them through a sieve to create the carrot juice.
  • Or of course, if you have a local health food store that sells fresh carrot juice, you can use that, too.
  • And if you feel like your skin could use some extra TLC, be sure to use the carrot mask for three days.

As an aside, remember also that if a healthy mask containing natural ingredients is good for your skin, your skin will look even healthier if you take care of it from the inside out. Be sure to eat foods with plenty of Vitamin A plus a good amount of Vitamin C, omega-3 fatty acids, and Vitamin E for the best results of all.
