This is a soothing face mask and great if you have bananas around the house.

Bananas are great for the hair, too. See my Banana & Avocado Deep Conditioning Treatment for Dry Hair recipe.

Ingredients:

  • 1 banana, preferably ripe (you can keep ripe bananas in the freezer. Let it thaw before using)
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • An orange or a lemon

Preparation:

Mash up the banana, then mix in the honey. For best results, put the ingredients in a blender.
Add a few drops of juice from an orange or a lemon.
Apply to face for 15 minutes before rinsing with a cool washcloth or a steaming warm washcloth. Follow with your regular moisturizer.

I really liked this my skin got really soft and my break outs are gone but it took 2 days to fully get the banana ""sauce"" 0ff and it was really sticky and gross from the honey but other than that i loved it!
