Ingredients

1 small banana approx.
0 2 tablespoons fresh double cream
1 tablespoon organic honey
approx. 1 tablespoon potato flour

Method
Mash the banana, using the back of a fork, and then add 2 tablespoons of fresh double cream, 1 tablespoon honey and 1 tablespoon of potato flour. Stir to mix well.

Apply the mask to the cleaned face, including the area around the eyes, and the neck and leave for approx. 30 minutes. Rinse off with water and dab on a little rosewater leaving to dry naturally.

Strawberry & Lemon Facial Mask

Before you buy that next over the counter astringent, remember strawberries and lemon are the natural equivalent of the ingredients found in such a product. God’s original astringent, these fruits can actually improve your oily skin’s condition without causing damage or wasting money.

For this mask you will need:

* 1 tablespoon of lemon juice (fresh squeezed or concentrated)
* two egg whites
* two tablespoons of honey
* I cup of mashed strawberries
* around 4 drops of jojoba oil (available at many organic markets, healthcare stores, and skincare websites)

Mix the ingredients together and apply immediately to the face for around ten minutes. This recipe will make enough for more than one mask, so plan on sharing with a friend at time of application. The treatment is most effective when applied fresh, so resist the urge to refrigerate the extras for later if you are having a makeover party for one.
