Banana Facial
"The Banana Peel"
Mia's name for her natural skin care
banana recipe, "The Banana Peel" makes her laugh every time
she makes a
batch.
Mia is impressed with this recipe because she can actually feel the
"The Banana Peel" tighten her skin as it is drying.
It is a rich,
moisturizing facial peel that leaves her skin soft and silky smooth.
Thanks for
sharing Mia!
For the best results, Mia likes to use her facial steamer to steam her
face just before applying this natural skin care peel so that her pores
are open and her skin is warm and moist.
That way, all the nutrients can be easily absorbed through the
layers of skin.
As an alternative, you can just apply a warm face cloth to the skin.
~ The Banana Peel ~
- Finely mash 1/4 of a small banana
into a paste
which will yield about 1/8 of a cup
- Briskly whip one egg white with a whisk until
very frothy
- Slowly add one tablespoon of cornstarch while
continuing to whip briskly
- Beat in the mashed banana until completely
incorporated
Apply a thin layer to the face and let set for up
to 30 minutes. Rinse completely with warm water.
*Tip:
Any unused mixture can be kept
refrigerated for up to three days.
