More Carrot Skincare Benefits:
It Reduces Redness and Scarring
Carrots are a rich source of beta-carotene, which is an antioxidant that converts to vitamin A and is responsible for giving carrots their orange hue. "Vitamin A works as a wonder vitamin when it comes to skin healing and reducing redness and inflammation," Mitsios tells POPSUGAR.
It Reduces Acne
Beta-carotene's anti-inflammatory properties can also help reduce the appearance of breakouts. Mitsios also notes that it even plays a role in preventing acne as well. "The beta carotene content of carrot juice makes it effective in controlling sebum production and reducing the incidence of acne breakouts," she says. "For more effective results, I recommend drinking carrot juice along with applying it topically."
It Stimulates Collagen Production
Carrots are also loaded with vitamin C, another powerful antioxidant that boasts several skin benefits. It's been found to promote collagen production in the skin, which means that it can help improve skin's firmness and prevent fine lines, wrinkles, and more. "The high levels of vitamin C found in carrot juice also work to stimulate collagen production and maintain skin elasticity," Mitsios explains.
It Prevents and Treats Sun Damage
Falcarinol is another potent antioxidant that can be found in carrots, which Dr. Purvisha Patel, a board-certified dermatologist and the founder of Visha Skincare, says works together with beta-carotene to scavenger free radicals and prevent sun damage.
It Promotes A Healthy Glow
"The high levels of carotenoids found in carrots are strong antioxidants, which work to scavenge free radicals, which detract from healthy glowing skin," Mitsios says. "The juice is also hydrating, so works to retain moisture levels leading to plump and radiant skin."
