I used to eat bananas like a monkey, but aside from being an ingredient in pancakes or other baked
goods, I stopped in recent years because suddenly the texture was too slimy and mushy for me. However, I'm thinking
about bananas again, this time for my skin, rather than my stomach.
Bananas have been used throughout history for their moisturizing and skin-nourishing properties. They contain minerals like magnesium, potassium, iron, zinc, iodine, and vitamins A, B and E. Even companies like the Body Shop, known for their naturally based beauty products use real bananas in their products.
For an exfoliating mask, mash together 1 barely ripe banana, 1 Tbsp. honey, and 1 egg yolk. Apply to face, rest for 20 minutes, then rinse off with warm water. To make it a "banana bread" facial, you can add a few Tbsp finely ground oats.
