Regardless of what you think...you are NOT looking a moldy banana!
This was one of my 'experiments' this morning as I work up REALLY early and had some extra time on my hands. I thought I would make my own skin care mask using raw and vegan ingredients that I had on hand.
Many of you know I really don't like Bananas but I have learned to like up to a half of one in a few specific smoothies from time to time. After I was done making a smoothie this morning I did this before throwing the banana peel away. Not only do I NOT like the taste of bananas I like the aroma of them even less! So here's what I did and it worked on many levels!
I sprinkled the wheatgrass powder on top of the peel and wet it down with the lemon juice. It was really wet and 'soppy' like a drenched wash cloth. I took it and smeared it all over my face and neck. It dried like other masks would. Between the lemon and the wheatgrass aroma - it cut the banana aroma - at least in half! YAY! After wearing this on my face and letting it dry I washed it off with hot water.
It left my skin VERY soft all day! I'm very excited about this! I will be posting about my natural skin care mask attempts as I have several others planned, too! With the research I have done all three of these ingredients are great for skin...not only consuming them but putting them ON your actual skin! I took some photos but they looked beyond ridiculous so I won't post those...teehee!
