Banana Face Mask for Dry Skin, Aging Skin, and Acne Prone Skin

Bananas have long been used as a natural homemade facial moisturizer and for good reason too! Packed with fats with hydrate dry, parched skin, and a whopping 20% vitamin B-6 which works to reduce the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, and scars. Vitamin C works to eradicate skin ailments such as acne, while the potassium in banana prevents future breakouts and dry skin.

You'll Need:

• 1 medium banana
• 1/4 cup plain yogurt
• 2 tbsp honey

You can also just use a mashed banana as a face mask which is a great way to impart moisture and prevent wrinkles, but we've added a few ingredients to make it EXTRA effective!

The yogurt acts as a natural cleanser, but is also very effective at combating acne.

Honey is a natural anti-septic as well as a skin lightener, so it works great for aging skin, dark spots, and uneven skin tone.

Directions:

1. In a medium sized bowl, mash 1 medium banana using the back of a fork.
2. Once mashed, add in your yogurt and honey and mix well.
3. Apply all over face and leave and leave on for 25-30 minutes.
4. Rinse off with warm water, pat dry, and follow up with a moisturizer.

You'll immediately notice softer, smoother, and brighter looking skin after just one application. Do continue to use the banana face mask on a regular basis (2-3 times a week), to clear skin of any blemishes, reduce dark spots, moisturize dry skin, and eliminate wrinkles.
