Moisturizing Banana & Honey Face Mask
Bananas have been used for centuries in a variety of ways because of their many benefits. Of course, one of the most common uses of bananas is that they are consumed as food. Banana leaves and pulp are commonly used in cooking and for eating. Plantains are a type of banana that are starchier and harder and cooked. The more common yellow banana's pulp is consumed raw and the skin is then thrown away, although the skin is edible.Some alternate uses of bananas include the use of bananas in skin care. They are a great source of potassium, Vitamin C, and fiber. These vitamins and minerals are excellent for your skin because they go deep down and nourish your skin with what it's been thirsting for.
Sometimes lotions and creams just don't have the ability to moisturize the type of dry skin we have. It can be extremely frustrating for adults and adolescents alike. However, using natural fruits and vegetables helps to cure the dry skin without potential side effects from store bough creams (not to mention they can get pricey). Fruits and vegetables are chock full of vitamins and minerals that are needed to help your face heal and stay moisturized. It's just about finding the right homemade mask for your particular skin issues.
Try this quick and simple moisturizing Banana and Honey Face Mask for Dry Skin to provide your skin with essential vitamins and minerals and achieve that long lasting soft and supple skin on your cheeks. You deserve it!
Ingredients:
Banana - 1 (ripe)
Honey - 1 tablespoon (Buy Manuka Honey Here)
Directions:
Mash the banana and the honey together in a bowl to make the Banana and Honey Face Mask. Apply the mask onto your face using your fingertips gently. Make sure you avoid your eye area. Massaging your face is good for you as it increases blood flow which promotes cell creation which can help prevent wrinkles.
Leave the Banana and Honey Face Mask on for about 10-15 minutes. It will remain mushy and extremely sticky but that's okay because one you wipe it off you will see that your skin has been extremely moisturized and brightened. Wipe off the homemade face mask with a warm washcloth or warm water. After you are done washing your face, tone and moisturize as usual. If you don't tone, you may run the risk of not closing your pores, which may lead to acne breakouts.
The Banana and Honey Face Mask work to moisturize and firm your skin gently and quickly. The face mask will leave your skin feeling smoother, and moisturized. Trust me, it works! I was struggling with dry skin during the winter and had bananas that had ripened so instead of throwing them away, I created this mask and used honey to bring it all together. It ended up leaving my face refreshed. Moisturizing your face and keeping it's moisture level up helps prevent wrinkles as well.
