Here Is How You Can Make Carrot Soap Bars At Home

Carrot is a vegetable that is very rich in Vitamin A. This allows carrot to be an excellent ingredient for skincare products because it makes the skin fresh and even helps in releasing its toxins. Along with this, Vitamin A is well known to heal the skin in case of breakouts of acne and acts as a natural moisturizer. It makes the skin glow with its natural hydration properties. Overall, Vitamin A, something that carrots are loaded with, is excellent for the skin. That is why you should ensure you have carrots in your daily beauty routine. However, in such a hectic schedule when we hardly have time to even wash our face more than twice, how will we make carrot packs on a daily basis and give our skin the care that it needs? Well, a way out of this is to use carrot soap bars right when you are taking a bath. Make one soap bar, and you are set for at least a month of skin pampering!

Now, this may sound complicated but making a carrot soap bar is extremely simple. Just follow these simple steps to make yourself a ready-to-use, natural carrot soap!

Word Of Caution

Before we get to making the soap, it is important to know that lye can be a little tricky ingredient to work with so be careful. Keep children away, use eye protection and gloves. When mixed with water it can cause fumes, which is natural. Do not go close to the fumes and let it settle with water before you start using it. However, don’t skip lye because that is what initiates saponification, which is a process of converting oils to soap.
