      Hi Jeannie, You can store the mask for 2-3 days in your refrigerator but I would suggest you to apply fresh carrot to every use.

    To remove dark spots, your recipe states “1/2 fresh lemon juice”. Do you mean – the juice from 1/2 of a lemon or is there a measurement missing (such as teaspoon or tablespoon).

        Hi Carol,
        Blend the small pieces of carrot in a blender and make a paste. You Can add some liquid to make a fine paste like rose water, witch hazel, and aloe vera juice.

      Hi Meena,
      I would recommend you to use it in a paste form or in a shredded form. The juice contains lots of nutrients. So, I don’t think boiling the vegetables is the right procedure. Boiling them can destroy the essential nutrients.
