I like to use a face mask weekly just to wash away the oils on my face built up from the week and the damage from the makeup. My skin tends to pick up lots of oil so this mask helps a great deal. It leaves my skin feeling smooth and is nice when applied because its so soft to the skin. Try this mask out friends, you'll absolutly love it!!
Great idea. Thank you for sharing the recipe. I will have to give this a try.
ReplyDeleteI've made plain honey masks before.. this one is tempting.. BUT, I can't stand the smell of banana's :s Do you have other face mask recipes that don't have bananas to them? :)
ReplyDeleteCan I use any kind of banana for this mask? :)
ReplyDeleteGreat idea!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds so good "to eat" :P~ hehee. I would most likely go about munching on it with vanilla wafers then to put it on my face though it's a nice post for a face mask :)

ReplyDeleteI would have to give you kudos for giving tips on how to save money without sacrificing the quality of the products that you would use on our faces, and it's more beneficial for us that aside from the big savings that we we'll be getting for preparing our own DIY facial masks, the ingredients that you are using are all natural and readily available at home. :) I love the idea of honey in your face since its really good for our skin. Thanks for sharing!
