Check out my DIY Banana Mask for glowing clear skin on my youtube channel! Here's the down low on all the detes on why this mask is amazing for your skin!
Bananas:
Bananas are great for the skin, not only for eating but also as a topical treatment! Bananas help fight free radicals, therefore slowing down the aging process of our skin. Bananas contain Vitamin A which helps to even out rough skin and get rid of dark spots and blemishes. They also contain Vitamin B which helps to delay aging, moisturizes and lightens the skin to give it a beautiful glow. The Vitamin E in bananas helps to combat free radical damage and prevents the formation of wrinkles. Potassium in bananas helps to moisturize skin cells leaving the skin feeling supple and healthy! As you can see bananas rock.
Honey:
Now onto honey. Honey is crazy good for your skin. It is a natural antibiotic which helps to fight existing acne. It contains anti-inflammatory properties which helps to reduce redness and inflammation that acne causes. It is chalk full of antioxidants and essential vitamins and minerals. And on top of it all it is a great moisturizer and nourishes your skin. These are just to name a few, but I think you probably get it - honey rocks!!
Lemons:
Lemon juice is a citric acid which acts to exfoliate the skin. As we all know our skin is made up of layers so by lightly exfoliating you are essentially buffing away the dead skin cells on your face, and little by little buffing away those acne scars. Lemon juice, as you probably already know, is also a natural bleaching agent which helps to fade those acne scars. Lemon juice is a natural astringent which will help to dry out existing acne and helps to kill the bacteria on your face causing existing acne. Lemon juice also sends signals to the immune system stop inflammation. Basically lemons are great for your skin. HOWEVER please be careful when applying lemon juice to your face and DO NOT apply it directly to your skin. Make sure to dilute it in some way, for example this scrub is perfect ;)
What you need:
1/4 of a ripe banana 1 tbsp of honey: https://amzn.to/37GMJ6w 1/4 tsp of lemon juice: https://amzn.to/2wpTk8l
Instructions:
It's pretty self explanatory, but you basically just mash up the banana and mix in the honey and lemon juice and apply to your freshly washed face and leave it on for 20-30 minutes and rinse off! Use this at 1-2 times a week for at least a month for best results. This mask doesn't preserve well so it's best to make small batches fresh every time. Since it's so simple and quick it's no biggie :)
