Make Banana Scrub

Bananas are great for keeping the skin on your face and body fresh and soft. They are a great alternative to the potentially harmful chemicals found in many skincare products. This is a facial scrub for normal to dry skin and is also suitable for sensitive skin.

Ingredients

  • 2 teaspoons mashed banana
  • 2 teaspoons rolled oats
  • 1 teaspoon milk
  • 1 teaspoon honey

Steps

  1. Mix all ingredients together in a bowl until it forms a smooth paste-like substance.
  2. Apply to your face and leave it on for 10 minutes.
  3. After 10 minutes, massage it into your face. Allow it to sit for 5 more minutes.
  4. Rinse off thoroughly with warm water.

Tips

  • This scrub works as a peel. The dead skin cells adhere to the slightly dried paste and are removed by the friction created when you gently massage it over your face.

Warnings

  • Be sure to smash the banana into really small bits - big ones will slide off your face and onto your clothes and then, the floor!
  • Pull your hair back with a headband and put it in a high ponytail. Honey-Banana mix is tough to get out of your hair.
