Olive oil was referred to as “Liquid Gold” by the famous Greek poet Homer.  If you are what you eat, what would happen if you consumed “Liquid Gold” daily?  Extra-virgin olive oil (cold-pressed) is the best fat to use as a salad dressing.  Do not use for cooking.  It has a low smoke point and heat makes it susceptible to oxidative damage.  Olive oil has so many health benefits I include some every day when I eat my salad. Make sure you are using real olive oil. Have you heard of the olive oil fraud? Find out Which Olive Oil to Buy.

Lemons’ health benefits are immense.  To begin they are acidic to the taste but are alkaline-forming in the body. In fact, they are one of the most alkaline-forming superfoods; this makes them great for balancing a highly acidic condition in the body. Also, they are full of many health benefits.

Ingredients:
2 medium carrots – powerful antiseptic to kill germ and protect skin with antioxidants. Carrots help protect the skin from free radicals and promote the regeneration of healthy skin cells.
1 Tbsp honey – also antiseptic and reduces swelling
1 Tbsp olive oil – nourishes and cleans the skin
1 lemon – astringent and acidic.  This maintains the acid mantel of your skin which keeps in moisture and keeps out germs.

Directions:

  1. Peel the carrots and steam them until they are soft.
  2. Mash the carrots into a creamy consistency.
  3. Mix in 1 tbsp. of all-natural honey.
  4. Stir in 1 tbsp. of olive oil.
  5. Squeeze a few drops of fresh lemon juice into the face mask mixture. Lemon is a natural astringent and will help clean greasy skin.  If your skin tends to dry easily, add only 8 to 10 drops; if your skin tends to be oily, add up to 1 tbsp. of lemon juice.
  6. Use a spoon to drop small amounts onto your hands and gently massage the mask onto your whole face for several minutes.
  7. You can keep it on for an additional 5  minutes.
  8. You can then just wash it off with water in a sink or easier – in the shower.

P.S.  This is all food ingredients so after, whatever you don’t use on your face – you can eat!
P. S. S.  If you go to a spa for this, it could cost $40 – $140!

The lemon juice which is acidic when used topically has an alkaline influence internally because of the specific minerals it contains.

    1. Hi Shameem Correct on the 15-20 minutes. Just be aware though that if you have delicate skin or a very sensitive immune system, even natural, non irritating products have the possibility to create a reaction so just stop if you notice any redness.

    Several min means 4-5 minutes and than keep the mask for 5 additional minutes on your face.. 🙂

  3. Mr. Fritz, don’t you wonder how some people even manage to get out of bed in the morning by themselves?
    Thank you for this wonderful cleansing mask recipe.

    1. The carrots are the only thing that will break down but that will be fairly quick. The lemon and honey will preserve a bit. I would say only keep it for one or two day. You will have to then reheat it since the olive oil will thicken.

  4. Lisa Hatchems

    Im sure Archibong didnt know what mask you were talking about. Thank you for the mask recipe. I dif it it works.

  5. Elizabeth arado

    After reheat I can put again in fridge for how long I can put in fridge until finish its no problem…

  7. This mask was amazing! The first time I used it my skin was radian and glowing! Absolutely awesome! Left it on for 10 minutes… Soft and oil free skin plus the olive oil moisturized my fine lines! Fantastic! I blended all my ingredients in my ninja to make it smooth and it worked like a charm! If you have oily skin use a tablespoon of lemon juice. If not use a teaspoon…. This was a very instant result product! Wow!

    I’m very excited to try this, I’m a runner so I am always breaking out. I tired everything. I’m doing it right now, hope it works.
    Thanks

    1. Hi Ruth, Normally this can be used anywhere. Ecezema though is a little different from many skin problems. Many health experts think it cause is the circulation, the immune system and the nervous system so a topical application will not necessarily help. Try it on the small area and see how it feels.

    1. Hi Annie. I suggest you do it daily for the first week and then slow down to once a week. This is assuming that you are getting SOME good results. Everyone is different and each body will react slightly differently to different foods and applications.

  11. Joseph Mananasi

    Thank you so much for the info. Will try today, as we have a lot of honey, caroys and lemons here.

  12. Rachel Barnabas

    Thank you Randy for this amazing post. Please assist, what can i use as an alternative to olive oil

    1. Hi Rachael,
      Coconut oil is very good for the skin. Depending on your room temperature and the temperature of your other ingredients, you may have to warm it up a bit so it was liquid.

  13. Mercy Olowu Benson

    Pls,if rubbed on the body,can it be left for a whole day just like body cream and how can I preserve it so that it will last for a long time just like a real body cream so that I won’t have to mix it every two days?

    1. Hi Mercy,
      No one has ever asked this particular question but NO you can’t leave it on for a whole day on your body. Body creams are made of pasteurized ingredients that will not go bad for a long time. These ingredients, particularly the carrot will not last long and therefore should be refrigerated after making.
      Face masks are normally kept on for one hour maximum because the ingredients can interfere with the skins normal breathing.

    1. It can HELP in the sense that it has slight antibacterial properties and generally supports the skin BUT there is no guarantees because there are many factors known and unknown that cause acne. Proper cleansing of the skin is critical.
      A diet high in glycemic index foods and dairy products is now linked to acne, according to a new study published in the Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics.

    1. Once mixed this mask will only last 2-3 days in the fridge. Since there are no preservatives in this as in commercial products, you don’t want to risk putting spoiled food on your skin.

  14. how can i get rid of piles that appears on the face like black pimples. because this thing is really messing up my face so please help me with your natural remedy.
    Thank You.

    1. Hi Jesusa. Coconut oil and almond oil can be used instead of olive. You would have to warm up the coconut oil probably. Let me know how it works.

  15. respected sir i am 30 years old male sir my beared hairs gone white 30 % is there any treatment to grow black pl help i am worried.

    1. Dear Khan. Every man’s beard will go white eventually. There is no specific nutrition that deals with white or greying hair. IF you have gone prematurely white because of very bad health or a very bad diet, it sometimes happens that individuals can change back to black again IF they start to eat very healthy generally, detox and get enough movement in their lives. This only happens in rare cases. In most cases it is better to accept that one is naturally aging and enjoy the beauty of your age.
