Go bananas for face!

  Go bananas



Hi friends, I would like to start my blogging with one of my fav fruits, here goes the yummiest and   the most ye' loved' fruit of many ------you might have already noticed it in the picture and planted to get one from your kitchen and start munching on it. ha ha.At my place this fruit makes its place in the kitchen always.  My elder brother loves it so much that he eventough  if he forgets to brush his teeth he will never forget to munch on ' Banana'. Many of us, including me till yesterday wasn't aware of its wonderful uses, but now after knowing about its great uses, I wish to share here with all of my readers in my health blog  very soon :)
Now I will mention the face pack with this wonder fruit:  I will come up with still many excellent face-packs using ' banana ':)

Banana has a lot of beauty benefits : )


                                                 

BANANA/ AVOCADO FACIAL

  

                                                                  Ingredients:


  • 1 small ripened banana
  • 1 small ripened avocado.
  • 2 tablespoons plain yoghurt.
  • 2 drops of vitamin E oil





 Method:

      Mash banana and avocado  together to form a thick lime green paste. Add yogurt. Add vitamin E oil. Mix well.
                                                                                               

 Application:

        Massage the mixture onto clean and damp skin. Leave it on for 10 minutes. Although  this beauty   treatment can be left on upto 25 minutes,  if you have sensitive skin keep it on for 10 minutes.

 

  Results:

  • Banana moisturises your skin and leaves it looking softer and younger.
  • Avocados naturally contain a deep penetrating vegetable oil that is perfect for dry skin care. Maybe the most important element of avocado is that it is a good source of potassium, which is known as the youth mineral, so whether you are eating avocados or making a face mask, they can help your skin maintain its healthy and beautiful glow.
  • When topically applied to the skin, velvety yogurt will help moisturize, fight acne, prevent premature aging, relieve sunburn and reduce discoloration. It’s an all-around beauty multitasker. A simple yogurt facial applied two or three times a week will leave you with soft, supple skin—and save you a load of cash on beauty products. The lactic acid, a natural alpha hydroxy acid, in the yogurt helps smooth and exfoliate skin. Make sure to use a thick kind with active cultures for the ultimate beauty benefits. The zinc in yogurt helps cool the harsh bite of a sunburn. Yogurt contains natural anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties. A regular beauty regime with a yogurt facial mask will help keep skin cleansed, which will also reduce irritating breakouts.
  •          Vitamin E oil is also a moisturizer. For skin to maintain its suppleness and elasticity, it must be well-hydrated. Vitamin E oil can be used to cleanse the skin as a toning agent. It cleans away the grime, dead cells and debris that sit on the top layer of your face and make your complexion look dull and tired. Vitamin E contains powerful antioxidants that are necessary to fight the free radicals that cause damage on the cellular level. Regular application of vitamin E oil to the face can help counteract signs of aging by smoothing out existing fine lines and wrinkles, as well as preventing new lines and wrinkles from forming in the future. It also helps to keep your skin tight and firm.
