Honey Banana Face Mask: People have been using a banana and honey mask for eons and it makes your skin feel radiant. Just mix half a mashed banana with 2 spoons of honey; apply to face and leave for 5-10 minutes and then rinse. Also banana skin (the inside) is excellent for hard skin on feet!! Relax and Enjoy! Orange Face Mask for Oily Skin: 1/2 orange, 8 tablespoons of flour. Preparation: Squeeze orange and mix in flour. Start out by adding 5-6 tablespoons and keep adding more, until you get a compact, thick mass. Not too thick, but thick enough to be able to spread on the face. Apply and let it rest for 20 minutes and wash off with lots of luke warm water. Apple Moisturizing Face Mask: Apple is full of potassium, a mineral which when used in skin care, helps trap skin's moisture giving it a nice glow. Ingredients: 1 apple, 1 cup of milk, 1 tablespoon of flour, 1 tablespoon of olive oil Preparation: Peel an apple and cut it in little slices. Boil it in a bit of milk, until soft (do this in the microwave, but carefully so it doesn't explode!). Mash it and add flour and oil. Apply to face while it is just warm (not hot! try it on your inner wrist first!) and let it rest for 20 minutes. Rinse off with luke warm water. Pineapple Face Mask: Pineapple is a great source of Vitamin C that helps cleanse the skin and Vitamin B1 (Thiamine) which is essential for proper growth and development of body's systems, skin system included. Ingredients: Pineapple slices (natural, no sugared), 1 tablespoon of olive oil Preparation: Mash the pineapple and add olive oil to it. Use circular motion when applying this mask and let it rest for 15 min. Rinse off with cold water. You can apply a good moisturizer after this. Chocolate Face Mask: Ingredients: 1/3 cup cocoa, 1/4 cup of honey, 2 tablespoons of heavy cream (sour cream will work as well), 3 teaspoons of oatmeal powder Preparation: Mix all the ingredient until the mass in consistent. Apply on the face, gently massaging it so that oatmeal can start exfoliating the dead skin cell layer. Leave it on for about 20 minutes and rinse off with luke warm water. In case you are wondering, there is a reason oatmeal and honey are added to this mix. Similar to its use in body scrub recipes, oatmeal is highly recommended for sensitive skin. It can also be used in preparation of facial masks for any skin type, as well as for facial exfoliants, as it is gentle on the skin yet highly powerful. Honey on the other hand, is a great anti-bacterial agent, deeply cleanses your skin and opens up clogged pores. Now that you know all these benefits of chocolate, not only can you be guilt free while eating it, you can prepare an excellent chocolate face mask recipe and add to your skin's youthful look and nourishment. ****As with any natural foods, if you have an allergy to any of the above ingredients, please do not attempt to apply these to your face. Always consult with your doctor before trying anything new if you have severe food and/or contact/skin allergies.**** Blessings! 1 John 4:7 Romans 8:28 Numbers 6:24-26 JRV August 2008 Disclaimer: Through the years we have collected the above recipes.
