Ingredients
- 3/4 gallon of water
- 1 lb of fresh carrots (unpeeled)
- 2 cups of brown sugar
- 8 drops of vitamin E extract and 1/2 a cup of aloe vera gel.
DIRECTIONS
1. Rinse the carrots and cut them into thin slices
2. Boil the water in a large saucepan, mix in the sugar and the sliced carrots
3. Let the carrot/sugar/water mix simmer for approx. 3 hours
4. Allow your self tanner mix to cool down and then pour it through a strainer
5. At this point, you can add the aloe vera and the vitamin E into your self tanner. This step is optional and was not included in my grand mother's original recipe. However, I like how aloe and vitamin E soothe the skin.
6. Pour your selftanner into a spray bottle
