DIY Carrot Oil

Carrot oil is considered to be very useful oil: it tones up, and at the same time, produces a calming effect on skin and hair. Uses of carrot oil are quite versatile, for example, healing properties for delicate skin of eyes and lips, fighting skin aging, in particular, neck skin aging.

Carrots are rich in nutrients such as vitamins A, C, and E, beta-carotene, and a multitude of other antioxidants. Vitamins A and E — in addition to beta-carotene — have wonderful conditioning properties. They moisturizer the skin or scalp on the body, thereby building healthier hair and skin.

 1st method:

• We need just 2 ingredients, carrots and one of the oils: Olive oil, Almond oil or Coconut oil.
• You need to peel Carrots, RUB them on a grater and place them in water, pour some oil there.
• Keep in a water bath until it becomes noticeable that the carrot sank to the bottom and oil acquired orange color.
• Carefully remove, drain, pour the oil into a clean jar for the storage.

• You need to RUB peeled Carrots on a grater, move them to a clean jar and pour as much oil (olive or almond or coconut) to cover the carrots. Close the jar with a lid and leave on the sun for 2 weeks.
