Preparation steps
Preparation of the ingredients:
Finely grate the carrot and orange zest to release the vitamins and essential oils.
Cut the bay leaves into small pieces.
Gently infuse the ingredients in a water bath.
In a clean, dry glass jar, combine the grated carrot, orange zest, and bay leaves. Completely cover the ingredients with olive oil. Place the jar in a water bath: Place a cloth on the bottom of the pan to prevent direct contact with the heat and fill the jar halfway with water. Heat gently for 20 minutes. This gentle method allows the ingredients to gradually release their nutrients into the oil.
Filtering the oil:
Let the mixture cool slightly, then filter it through a sieve or fine cheesecloth. You will have a pure, vitamin-rich, and ready-to-use oil.
Preparing the scrub paste:
Collect the solid residue (carrot, zest, and bay leaf) and blend it until a smooth paste forms. This preparation acts as a gentle exfoliating mask, perfect for removing dead cells and restoring the radiance of your skin.

The peeling mask
