beauty: banana facial mask

i went to see my esthnetician the other day and we were talking about facial masks to use when staying at home and not spending too much money. she mentioned banana facial mask and well i thought it was a great idea and tried it. then, she went off talking about adding more things to the banana facial mask and i was just like wow i'll definitely try that. so today i definitely decided to try it w/ my sister-in-law and our skin felt great.
first, we all know that bananas are fruits and good for eating, but it also benefit our skin when applied in a facial mask. they are high in vitamin c, a, b6 and b12, plus they contain potassium and magnesium. so therefore, the fruit acids in bananas will help shed off dead skin and energize the complexion.
Banana Facial Mask
you need:
  • 1 banana
  • 1 tsp honey
instructions:
  • mash the banana in a bowl and add the honey
  • apply the facial mask to your clean face, neck and make sure you avoid the eye area
  • leave on for 15 minutes and wash off w/ warm water.

these two items will give your skin a firmer and the moisturizing effect as well as exfoliating your dead skin cells. you'll love the outcome of it. meanwhile, while you try that? i'll try using other facial masks for you to try at home to save money. there are more homemade facial mask on the way.
