By Kumutha

Is your skin too patchy, dry and lifeless? It is time to take a much-needed break from chemically formulated skin care products and give natural ingredients a go! And only remedy we will suggest is homemade carrot masks!

Carrot is a boon to your skin and we are not even exaggerating! Imagine your skin as a parched dry land that is cracking, flaking, muddy and dry. Carrot is that fountain of wholesome goodness, which can breathe life into your skin! And here is how.

Carrot contains a vital component called beta-carotene, which sloughs off dead skin layers, locks in the moisture in skin and promotes the renewal of new skin cells.

Carrot has a high ratio of vitamins A, D and K, which together form a powerful antioxidant. It is this antioxidant that improves the skin's collagen level, which in turn improves elasticity, slowing down ageing process.

What's more, carrot has antiseptic properties that clarify the skin of impurities, dry out acne and kill other infection-causing bacteria!

Above and beyond all, carrot works as a natural bleach that tones, tightens and lightens the skin tone.

Now that you know exactly what carrot can do, here is how you can use carrot on skin!
