What you need

• ½ a ripe banana (I used Chiquita)
• 2 teaspoons honey

Directions:

1. Get your banana.

You only need half a banana. Eat the other half. Mmmm...nom, nom. Now get your honey. Do not eat the honey. This is solely for the face mask. Ok, ok, fine. Go on, have a lick. That’s enough.

2. Get a Small Bowl.

Get a small bowl, mash up the banana and honey with a fork.

3. Keep mashing until you get a smooth consistent gloopy mask.

Make sure there are no lumps. This will make the mask easier to apply. Onto your cleaned face, with clean fingers, apply the banana honey face mask evenly all over your skin. Wait for it to sink in for around 10 minutes. Now wash off with warm water and pat dry with a clean towel.

1. When making a face mask, don't make it too complicated. No need to use blenders to grind your ingredients - a simple fork will suffice, trust me! No need to use a 'face brush' to apply the mask, just use your clean fingers, I say!
2. Facial steaming before applying a face mask is always advisable. It preps up your skin, by softening dead skin cells and opening up your pores.
3. For the banana face mask, use ripe bananas. The riper, the better! In fact, banana face masks are a great way to use up extra ripe bananas.
