Morning Blend Carrot Face Mask!

 

Thanks again for tuning into the Morning Blend!

Here is the exact info on how to make this amazing Beauty Kitchen anti dry skin mask!!!!!

This wonderful mask for dry skin involves a few more ingredients than my popular and more basic  Avocado Face Mask for Dry Skin. This face mask is all about the antioxidants , which are great for anti-aging. Potasssium-rich carrots prevent skin dryness and also has anti-inflammatory properties, helping to revitalize and tone the skin. Avocados, honey and egg yolks are all moisturizing.

Ingredients:

  • 1 carrot, peeled and de-stemmed
  • 1/2 avocado
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1/2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil (any oil in your cabinet can work here including vegetable oil or my favorite — coconut oil)
  • 1 teaspoon of lemon juice (you can nix this if you don’t have it on hand)
  • 1 egg yolk

Preparation:

Steam or boil the carrot until it’s so tender a fork can pierce it easily.Mash the carrot with a fork until it becomes a creamy consistency OR do what I do and blend the carrot in a blender until it forms a pulp.

Mash the avocado in with the carrot pulp. Note: The avocado must be one of those wonderfully ripe, mushy avocados. If it’s not ripe, it will be hard to mash with a fork. I recommend putting a non-ripe avocado in the blender with the carrot to blend.

Add honey, lemon juice and egg yolk and mix together by hand.

Spread over a clean face and leave for 15 minutes.

You can mash up the other half of the avocado with lemon and sea salt and enjoy a nice little snack while you wait for the mask to do its thing.

Wash off mask with a warm washcloth and pat skin dry with a towel. Slather on moisturizer.
