- 1 ripe banana
- 1 small carrot (fresh, medium-sized)
- 1 teaspoon honey (optional, for added moisture)
- 1 teaspoon yogurt or milk (optional, for a smoother consistency)
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Ingredients:
- Peel the banana and place it in a small bowl.
- Grate or finely chop the carrot to make it easier to mix.
-
Mash the Banana:
- Mash the banana with a fork until it forms a smooth paste. You want to avoid lumps for easier application.
-
Cook the Carrot (if necessary):
- If the carrot is too hard, you can steam it for 3-5 minutes or microwave it for about 1 minute to soften it. Once it’s cooked, mash or blend it until it becomes a smooth puree.
-
Combine the Ingredients:
- Add the mashed carrot to the banana paste and mix them well.
- For an extra boost of hydration, add a teaspoon of honey and/or yogurt. Honey is known for its moisturizing properties, while yogurt helps improve skin texture and contains probiotics that support a healthy skin barrier.
-
Apply the Mask:
- Cleanse your face and gently pat it dry with a towel.
- Apply the mask to your face using your fingers or a brush, making sure to avoid the eyes and mouth area.
- Leave the mask on for 10-15 minutes to allow your skin to absorb all the nutrients.
-
Rinse Off:
- After 15 minutes, rinse the mask off with lukewarm water and gently pat your skin dry with a soft towel.
- Follow up with your favorite moisturizer to lock in the hydration.
