I had some horrible old bananas (i do not know why i buy them as i just never eat them!) they were about to be chucked in the bin when i looked at my face and had hundreds (slight exaggeration) of red bumps/spots. I freaked out and decided i needed to give my face a good old treat.
I looked in my skincare cupboard and didn't have anything masks for blemishes so researched quickly on the internet what else i could do which i when i put the whole banana and face thing together...
I used a few recipes mixed together to create something i will be using again and again...
What you will need
Banana (if you're not a fan of bananas leave this out)
3 Tbs Oats
1 tsp Honey
1 Tbs Milk
A fork (for mixing)
A dish (for holding)
- I took off my makeup using soap and glory peaches and clean. I then used a face scrub by the body shop, the Vitamin C microdermabrasion one.
- First mash the banana with the oats
- Now add the honey and milk
You may need more or less milk depending on how thick you want the mask, I used quite a large banana so needed slightly more.
- Now smear this stuff all over your face!
I think this mask would be nicer warmed up in the microwave for a few seconds as it was really cold to apply. I didn't really enjoy the feeling of smearing it on my face and my dog tried to eat it...!
- I left it on for 15 minutes then scraped off the chunky bits and washed the residue off my face.
I still have blemishes but it looks so much better than before!!
My face has never felt so smooth and supple. It took away the redness from the blemishes and this morning they have practically vanished.
I couldn't recommend this highly enough and am going to try and use the oats on there own as a scrub/cleanser.
I always thought shop brought masks would way out do home made/natural masks but I was wrong!
I think you should all go now to your cupboards and make this!!
Do you have any more natural face mask recipes i could try?
