Clean Living // Honey + Banana Face Mask

During the winter season the cold weather takes a toll on our skin, leaving our skin dry and lifeless. This organic face mask is perfect to revive your skin, leaving it feeling soft and moisturized. Take a look below on how you can create your own!

 Ingredients: 

half banana

2 tbsp raw honey

1 tbsp coconut oil

Begin by mashing the half banana in a bowl with a wooden spoon. Once you've created a smooth, consistent texture, mix in the honey and melted coconut oil. 

To apply, start with a freshly cleaned face. Gently apply the mask with your fingers, and leave it on for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, gently rinse and wash your face with a simple facial cleanser. Keep the mask in a sealable container. Refrigerate after use.

The banana is to help sooth dry, irritated skin. The honey is beneficial in so many ways, but the main reason I chose honey as the main ingredient is because it helps replenish your skin from the harshness of every day life, including time spent in the sun. You can also add cinnamon to fight blemishes and open your pores, however not recommended for those with sensitive skin. 

I've been doing some research on different types of face masks, and I'm so looking forward to trying out different types for different seasons. What's your favorite type of face mask? 

**This recipe contains cinnamon, which can cause irritation if you have sensitive skin and/or are allergic to cinnamon. If you're unsure of how your skin will react, test it first on a smaller area.
