Would you like to try an all-natural nourishing facial treatment that costs practically nothing? Here’s what to do…

Scrub one medium-sized carrot, then cut the carrot into thick slices and put them in a small saucepan with water to cover. Bring to a boil, and cook the carrot slices until they are slightly softened, about five to eight minutes. Drain out the water (save to drink!), and transfer the car­rots to a blender or food processor or grab an immersion blender and purée. Let cool slightly.

Massage the carrot purée all over your just-washed face and neck, avoiding the deli­cate eye area. Keep it there for about 20 min­utes (you’ll want to keep still, since the purée is not very sticky), then rinse with tepid water.

This mask is popular in European spas, where regular use is said to improve elasticity as well as smooth out wrinkles. Carrots are packed with vitamin A and other healthful antioxidants, which your skin just loves!
