Step 4: Infuse with olive oil
Pour olive oil
Place all ingredients in a jar and pour olive oil over them. Make sure everything is well covered.
Set up a bain-marie
Place the jar in a pot with a cloth on the bottom. Fill the jar with water, but make sure it stays below the rim of the jar.
Heat gently
Heat over low heat for 20 minutes to extract nutrients without overheating. Stir occasionally.
Step 5: Cool and strain
Let cool
Remove the pan from the heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
Strain
Use a sieve to separate the infused oil from the pulp. The result is a smooth, nutrient-rich oil.
Step 6: Optional: Prepare the pulp
Mix the pulp
Mix the remaining carrot, orange peel, and bay leaves into a smooth paste for a natural exfoliating mask.
Storage
Store the oil and pulp separately in airtight jars in the refrigerator. The oil lasts up to 10 days, while the pulp can be used as a mask within a week.
Application
Oil
Apply a few drops to cleansed skin daily for hydration and anti-aging benefits. Massage gently to promote absorption.

Use as a mask once or twice a week. Spread evenly over your face, leave on for 15 minutes, and rinse with warm water.
