Instructions

Common Kitchen Ingredient Face Pack

1. Mash half of one peeled banana in a bowl. Banana is a healthy food and provides completely natural nourishment to leave your skin soft and supple.

2. Add two teaspoons of finely ground oatmeal and one teaspoon of salt. Mix well. Salt and oatmeal are good for exfoliating dead skin cells. Oatmeal is also a soothing ingredient that will remove redness and calm irritation.

3. Add two tablespoons of honey. Honey is a wonderful natural moisturizer as well as an antibacterial and pain-relieving ingredient. The presence of honey in this face pack will soothe skin, help heal blemishes and provide moisture to keep your skin soft and healthy. Honey also reduces redness from blemishes to help even your skin tone.

4. Apply the mixture as a facial mask with your fingertips, rubbing in gentle circles. Allow the pack to sit on your face for approximately 30 minutes. This gives the nutrients and benefits of the ingredients time to work their magic on your skin.

5. Rinse with warm water until all residue is gone, and pat skin dry with a soft towel. You'll be amazed at how smooth and firm your skin feels. You will appreciate the refreshed way your face feels afterward. You can use this mask on your entire body since it's all natural and contains no chemicals that could harm your skin.
