I am really quite intrigued by the homemade recipes for facial masks I found. I intend to try all of these... Just haven't yet! Anyways feel free to try and let me know how it goes!
* 1 banana, preferably ripe (you can keep ripe bananas in the freezer. Let it thaw before using)
* 1 tbsp honey
* An orange or a lemon
Preparation:
Mix the banana and honey together.
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.
