Bananas in our time have become a very affordable and not expensive product, often even cheaper than apples common in our country. They are available all year round.
The value of bananas as a food product has been discussed a lot on various resources, but we will consider bananas for cosmetic purposes.
At all times, women strive to be beautiful and stop age-related changes. Using for these purposes all sorts of tricks that are passed down from generation to generation. There are a great many beauty recipes, they use both food and chemical agents. But, as you know, chemical masks cannot be completely harmless, so preference should be given to masks made from natural ingredients.
Banana face masks
Consider a few recipes from bananas to get rid of wrinkles.
Banana puree contains a lot of vitamins B, C, E, magnesium and carotene that we need so much, which perfectly help stop the appearance of early signs of aging. Using this mask once every 2 days. The skin becomes more elastic, hydrated and velvety.
We will need:
- Ripe banana ½ part
- Olive oil 2/3 dessert spoon
- Flower honey 1 dessert spoon
Banana must be ground into a pulp, add 2/3 tablespoons of olive oil and flower honey, stir until smooth and apply to dry, cleansed skin of the face and neck, décolleté. And lie down for 20 minutes to rest, then remove the mask with a cotton pad. For best results repeat every 2 days.
Also, masks can be alternated, changing the composition a little, or adding new components to enhance the result.
So, for example, another recipe:
- Ripe banana ¼ part
- Sour cream or heavy cream 1 tablespoon
- Yolk 1 pc.
- Floral honey ½ dessert spoon
Apply and hold in the same way.
Banana hair masks
We took care of the face, but bananas are just as great as a mask for the scalp and hair. True, patience is already required here.
Grind two bananas into a creamy mass, and the bananas must be overripe or, for easier grinding, they can be frozen and, accordingly, thawed before preparing the mask. Grind bananas in a blender very carefully, add burdock oil and 1 spoon of honey is better than flower.
Apply the resulting composition on the head and along the entire length of the hair, rub for about 5 minutes into the scalp, only use fingertips rather than nails, so as not to damage the hair follicles. Wrap in plastic and hide under a towel for 90 minutes. Then rinse thoroughly with water, it is not recommended to use hot water, as well as cold. The main thing is not to overdry the mask, otherwise it will be problematic to remove it from the hair.
After these manipulations, the hair will become obedient silky, as if you were just from the salon.
Precautionary measures
When using any masks, both for the face and for the head, you must first take precautions and test the composition.
Apply a small amount of the mixture to the elbow and leave for a short time, then rinse and see if there is an allergic reaction. After all, some of the components may not suit you, and instead of stunning results, you will get an unpleasant allergic reaction and a spoiled mood.
