I ? bananas. I use them in everything—smoothies, cereals, peanut butter sankies, oatmeal … and now I’ve found a way to incorporate them into my beauty routine!
Did you know: Bananas are rich in potassium, Vitamin A, B, C and E, and natural oils. Bananas also contain tryptophan, a rich amino acid that works wonders for your skin (and hair).
Banana Mask Recipe (great for acne-prone skin)
What you’ll need:
Mash the banana and combine it with the agave (optional) and lemon juice until it’s creamy. Spread the mixture all over your face and leave it on for about 15-20 minutes before rinsing off.
Give this fantastic fruity facial a whirl, and lemme know how it goes by commenting below.

I use plain old green tea as a toner every morning.After washing your face, with a cotton pad pat the (cold) tea onto your face and let dry. You don’t need to wash it off, it’s only water and tea leaves, just apply a tad of moisturizer. And all you have to do is store it in a jar in your fridge

I TRIED IT.
It’s quick, easy, and best of all, cruelty-free! My skin felt so much better and it wasn’t as oily after the facial.
I also reccomended it to my friends!
Thanks for sharing!

I also use Mary Kay because they don’t test on animals.
But this seems interesting, I think I’m gonna have to try it.
