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.

I bet it smells yummy, too! My neighbor just brought over carrot cake jam for me to try the other day. Now I feel like I should do this facial while I eat some of her jam on toasted bread. 😉

Yes, that sounds delicious! You might as well treat your taste buds while you treat your skin 🙂

I am sitting here reading this with a turmeric face mask on. I love homemade beauty products. Oatmeal is also great if you run out of body wash one night. It cleans just as well and leaves your skin feeling baby soft.

I do love a good turmeric mask but yes, they aren't as pleasant smelling 🙂 Thanks for the oatmeal tip!
