Homemade Organic Honey Facial Mask
Last week I promised a recipe for a honey facial mask. This particular facial mask aims to help to with acne and or discoloration. My skin is dry but borders on combination. I rarely get breakouts, but when I do I am never really sure what to do with them. I am used to taking care of dry skin. As it happens I have used this mask since I was a teenager and it has always worked for me. I cannot even remember how I learned to make it, could have been something I picked up from my older sister. Here it is:
1 ripe banana
1 tablespoon of organic (regular is fine) honey
1 lemon
Cut up the banana and mix it with honey until you get a good paste going
Add a few drops of lemon
Use it right away as it starts to get gooey and dark after a while
Apply it to your face for about 15 minutes
Wash it off with a warm or cool washcloth
One thing I would keep in mind is that this mask does not look attractive at all while on the face : )
That is really cool!
I love this, I have been using a homemade mask very similar to this since I was a teenager and it works every time. Glad I am not the only one walking around my house with little chunks of bananas on my face ; ) The honey definitely makes it smell delicious. x
This is so perfect, such an interesting way to do organic beauty at home and save money. I have a slight obsession with honey in my tea as well, never drink it without, although I have never tried organic. Thanks for the mask.
Thanks so much for posting this, I also like to use lemon on my skin, one should be careful because it can burn but it works. Do you know of any other homemade remedies?
Thank you for this recipe! I just started using honey on my hair and now on my face and I love it!!
