I always love a mask that not only does wonders for my skin but smells wonderful as well. This carrot cake mask I am just loving! This mask not only hydrates and brightens but also brings back memories of my mom’s delicious carrot cake.




Ingredients:
  • 3-4 Medium sized carrots (steamed)
  • Oats (a good handful) 
  • Heavy whipping cream (1/8cup-1/4cup)
  • Ground nutmeg (1T-2T)



Natural ingredients have a lot of qualities that can help your skin look and feel great, and many can be found right in your kitchen. Why these ingredients?

Carrots:
  • Help repair skin tissue
  • Keeps skin healthy and vibrant
  • Natural antiseptic

Oats:

  • Gently exfoliate skin
  • Lock in moisture

Heavy Whipping Cream:

  • Nourishes skin
  • Contains milk proteins which moisturizes skin

Nutmeg:

  • Makes skin clearer and brighter
  • Reduces acne scars




Step 1:
Steam carrots, the softer they are the easier they are to blend. 

Step 2:
Blend ingredients in a blender ( if blending by hand I would recommend using ground oats for a creamier mask ). Add any additional whipping cream until mixture is a smooth paste like consistency.

Step 3:
Apply mixture to skin. I would recommend doing this over the sink and cleanse off in the shower since it can be pretty messy. Leave on for 20-30 minutes.

Step 4:
Scrub off in a circular motion for a mild exfoliation. Repeat once every week for glowing beautiful skin.
