One minute you’re excited about a hot date that’s finally happening and the next, the biggest pimple you’ve ever seen pops out because it wants to third wheel 😭 Seriously, how come acne mostly visits you when you have an exciting event coming up? It’s like they know that you want to look your best and they’re like, “not today!”

Carrot Juice For Acne
When it comes to treating acne, the Internet can give you multiple tried and tested remedies. One such amazing (and pocket-friendly) way is with the help of carrot juice!
Here’s how you can use it to bid adieu to acne until next time:
Carrot Juice Spot Treatement
Have you ever tried a spot treatment to minimize the size of your acne before? If not, you’re definitely missing out! As the name suggests, you use spot treatment products to target the pesky spots on your face. Instead of applying the product all over your face (like a mask), you apply it only on your spot and let it work its magic.
Here’s how you can use carrot juice as a spot treatment:
You’ll need:
– Fresh carrot juice
– Cotton balls
Step 1: Soak your cotton ball in the carrot juice and squeeze out the excess.
Step 2: Leave the wet cotton ball on your face and lie down. Make sure the size of cotton balls is tiny otherwise, it will keep rolling off your face.
That’s basically it! You can also add a few drops of carrot juice into fullers earth (instead of adding water), 2-3 drops of rosewater, and use it as a spot treatment. It’ll not only dry up your acne super fast but also with minimal scarring.

We all have a particular type of juice that we cannot stand! Nope, not even its smell! Unfortunately for me, it is carrot juice. Thankfully, I’ve discovered some amazing ways to utilize carrot juice that takes so much time to grind and make! My fave is using it as a face pack! Here’s how you can too!
You’ll need:
– Fresh carrot juice
– Aloe vera gel (fresh or market purchased)
– Curd

Step 2: Mix them well and then add 1 tbsp of curd in it and you’re done.

Why Will It Work?
Carrots are a rich source of vitamin C and A which have some amazing benefits for our skin. Vitamin A is a natural antioxidant that provides a natural glow to your face, brightens skin’s complexion, and also encourages the production of new skin cells. It also helps protect the skin from the sun’s wrath and thus, delaying signs of ageing.
On the other hand, vitamin C boosts the production of collagen in our skin that helps maintain the skin’s elasticity. It also helps reduce the appearance of acne scars, leaving a subtle yet healthy glow behind. Apart from these awesome benefits, carrots also have calcium, potassium, beta-carotene that helps keep our skin looking radiant.
Seriously, who knew that carrots have so many awesome benefits on our skin?
