Homemade Banana Face Mask

South American and Caribbean women have used mashed bananas for centuries as part of their skin care regime.  Homemade banana face masks provide extreme nourishment that completely transform your skin, leaving it feeling soft and supple while enhancing its natural glow.

Banana contains many beneficial minerals and antioxidants, including potassium and magnesium that can help naturally restore the condition of your skin.  Potassium has proven to be extremely effective for treating a range of skin conditions such as warts, psoriasis, acne, and can also help relieve itching, irritation and swelling from mosquito bites and allergies.
