Easy Homemade Banana Face Mask For Dry Skin Ingredients 1 egg yolk 2 teaspoons of sweet almond oil (you can substitute it with coconut oil or olive oil) 1 ripe mashed banana Why These Ingredients? Banana – Rich in vitamins A, B and E, bananas are a great natural anti-aging ingredient (Vitamin A increases cell turnover while Vitamin E soothes and moisturizes). Acids from the banana also exfoliate dead skin. Almond Oil - Almond oil has been the best kept secret to sooth dry skin, grow thick long hair and strong nails, get rid of the dark circles around the eyes and even prevent stretch marks! Why egg yolk? Eggs contain vitamin B2, vitamin B3 and zinc. Vitamin B2 can help alleviate stress, which is a known contributor to acne. Vitamin B3 aids with circulation, which can help skin look and feel healthier. Zinc boosts the immune system. This can help acne heal and even prevent future breakouts. In addition, eggs contain vitamin A, which is beneficial for scarring. Directions Mix together the mashed banana, egg yolk and 2 teaspoons of almond oil {Olive Oil or Coconut Oil} until well blended and form into a creamy paste. Apply the mixture to your face & let it set for about 20-30 minutes. Make sure your face is thoroughly clean before application.
