Peel & steam carrots.

 If your skin is oily, you may avoid the extra virgin olive oil.

Add a few drops of lemon juice. 

Your skin type will depend on the amount of lemon juice you add in lemon juice is a natural astringent, so the oilier your skin, the more lemon you want in your mask.

If you have dry skin, add about 8 drops of lemon and if you have oily skin, add up to 1 tablespoon.

Check consistency. 

The mixture shouldn't be too clumpy or too runny. 

If the mix is too thick, you can add in a bit more extra virgin olive oil or rose water to thin it out.

You can add a bit more honey to the mix to give it a thicker, paste-like texture.

Cool down.

Let there mixture cool down so that the temperature is comfortable on your skin.

Leave it on for 10 -15 minutes and wash it off with warm water afterwards.
