Banana and Honey Dry Face Mask
Mashed ripe banana and honey sit on dry cheeks for about ten minutes, then get rinsed off. Use it on intact skin only. It does not fix dryness or feed the face.
About this banana honey face mask
A ripe banana mashes smooth, and a little honey helps that mash cling for a short mask on dry cheeks. Ten minutes is the whole time. After that, rinse so the sugar does not stay on the skin. Very ripe fruit smells strong, so mash only what you will use.
This mask does not repair dry skin, erase lines, or replace a cream a doctor has asked you to use. If the cheeks are cracked or the honey makes you itchy, wash it off and do not repeat it.
Ingredients
- half a ripe banana
- 1 teaspoon honey
- the mashed ripe banana only
How to prepare
- Mash the ripe banana until it is smooth.
- Stir in honey. Do not add more fruit than you can use at once.
How to use
- Wash the face and pat it dry. Spread a thin layer on dry cheeks.
- Keep it off the eyes, the lips, and any broken skin.
- Leave it for about ten minutes, then rinse with lukewarm water and pat dry.
Helpful habits
- Once a week is enough. A banana mask every day is sticky and unnecessary.
- If the mash turns brown before you apply it, mash a fresh piece.
Precautions
- External use only. Do not leave the mask where someone might eat it after it touched the face.
- Patch test on the inner arm and wait a day. Skip it if banana or honey bothers you.
- Do not use it on broken, cut, or sunburnt skin. Rinse if it itches or stings.
