Oily skin has been our worst
enemy from the dawn of time. It's
gross,
clogs our
pores, and makes us look like a
grease ball! Until the time comes when having
oily skin becomes a trend (which we know will
never happen), here is a simple DIY Face Mask you can make to help with get rid of that oil right in your
kitchen! :D
So I bet your wondering
"why a banana?". Not a lot of people know the great
benefits your skin can get from a
banana. Well, to answer your question,
bananas are known to help get rid of the nasty oils on your skin and narrow your pours. Bananas are also filled with
potassium, fiber, and vitamin c.

-Potassium helps your body produce
new cells, and with new cells, your skin becomes
healthier.
- Fiber is known for its
anti-again benefits. It gives your skin the boost it needs to be healthier.
-Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, produces
collagen, which provides support with the
growth of cells and blood vessels and
firms and strengthens skin.
Since now you know the goodies that bananas can offer your skin, Here is the recipe for a Banana Face Mask:
- 1/2 Ripe banana
- 1 tsp. of lemon juice
- 1 tsp. of honey
Take your banana and mash it in a bowl with a fork. Add the lemon juice, honey, and mix it with the mashed banana. Apply it to your face and let it sit for 15-20 minutes. Then wash it off and your finished! :D
