Nspired Scents

Today's Oil of the day is Carrot Seed Oil and the skin benefits it provides.

Pressed from the tiny, dried seeds of the lacey white flower head of wild carrot, the wildflower commonly known as Queen Anne’s Lace (Daucus carota), carrot seed oil is a powerful anti-aging skincare ingredient. Nearly 40% of this oil is made up of carotenoids, a bright orange pigment that is an antioxidant superstar. The outermost layer of skin is especially good at absorbing carotenoids, making this ingredient that much more effective.

WHY WE LOVE IT

Carrot seed oil is a winner when it comes to anti-aging effects. Combining skin-mending vitamin A, collagen-boosting vitamin C and moisturizing vitamin E, this essential oil helps smooth lines and repair sun damage, scars and any other skin trauma. Beyond facial care, it’s also used in products aimed at treating stretch marks and scar tissue.

A quick method to use Carrot Seed Oil for your skin:

Simply mix 3-5 drops of Carrot Seed Essential Oil with 1 tsp. of a carrier oil of personal preference. Suggested carrier oils include Safflower and Coconut. In a circular motion, massage this natural moisturizing blend into the skin 1-2 times daily.
