This is a great face mask that looks a lot like breakfast! You can buy all these ingredients in your local supermarket. Banana moisturises and soothes while strawberries cleanse and exfoliate your skin. If you apply this revitalising Banana & Strawberry Face Mask regularly, you will give yourself a bright, healthy complexion.

Strawberries also contain an antioxidant called ellagic acid, which is the predominant phenolic antioxidant (a type of antioxidant found only in plant foods) in strawberries. Beauty products containing ellagic acid provide many benefits such as reducing wrinkles, promoting collagen production and providing protection from UV rays.

Instructions

Wash your strawberries properly, particularly if your fruit is not organic. Mash up the banana and strawberries in a bowl. You can either do this by hand or in a food processor.
In a double boiler, gently warm the honey so that it becomes slightly runnier. Be very careful not to heat the honey too much and keep a close eye on it – you only want to warm it gently, as you could easily hurt yourself if it becomes too hot. Test the warmed honey on a small patch of skin on the inside of your wrist to check the temperature. If it’s too hot, allow it to cool to a comfortable temperature before using.
Mix the warmed honey and yoghurt in with the fruit mash.
Pull back your hair and wash your face and neck, so they’re clean before you apply the face mask. Apply the mask all over your face and neck, avoiding your eyes and mouth. Leave on for 20-25 minutes. Use this time to relax properly. Wash the mask off and pat your skin dry.
It is recommended that you apply this face mask no more than 1-2 times a week. This face mask is best used immediately, but will keep in the fridge for 1-2 days.
