Healthy Glow: The Benefits of Carrots

Rich in beta-carotene, everyone knows the benefits of carrots for preparing the skin for the sun. Carrots give a lovely complexion and even add color to babies' cheeks during the introduction of solid foods.

While eating carrots is good for the skin, they can also be used in cosmetic care products. Recommended for normal to dry skin, carrots have nourishing and moisturizing properties, which help prevent skin aging.

Carrots, an ally for dry skin

Carrots are an ingredient found in many cosmetics for dry to very dry skin. Why are they an essential ingredient? Their secret is beta-carotene, which is found in high concentration in carrots. This antioxidant helps hydrate the skin and delay the effects of aging. Carrots therefore have an anti-aging effect.

Carrots are ideal before summer or before going on a sunny vacation. They prepare the skin for the sun and prolong your tan. Whether as carrot juice, dietary supplements, or vegetable oil, carrots help protect the skin from ultraviolet rays. Carrots brighten the complexion and give your face more radiance all year round.

Carrot essential oil, a must-have in your beauty kit

Carrot essential oil (EO) is one of the oils to use for those seeking an anti-aging effect and to repair their skin. It helps reduce wrinkles and brighten the complexion. It has a regenerating and toning effect on skin tissues.

Like lemon essential oil, it is ideal for massaging the legs for a firming and stimulating effect, against water retention and cellulite.

Carrot essential oil is recommended for damaged, irritated, or wounded skin. It accelerates healing. After cracks, chapping, or even burns, it helps boost cell renewal. It can be a solution for treating rosacea. Very simple, just add 1 drop of carrot EO and 1 drop of helichrysum (immortelle) EO to your usual day cream.
