This mask utilizes several ingredients: bananas, honey, and coconut oil. Bananas contain many vitamins that promote unblemished and youthful looking skin. This fruit is also known to have an anti-aging effect and helps smooth out wrinkles and keep skin feeling soft. Bananas also contain lectin, which is responsible for eliminating acne-causing bacteria. Honey is an all natural sweetener that not only tastes delicious, but acts as a gentle exfoliator as well. Honey works to lighten scars, heal sunburns, and moisturize the skin as well.

Coconut oil contains saturated fats, which keeps the skin extremely supple and hydrated. Coconut oil also has a significant amount of amino acid that acts as a barrier to protect the skin from many external factors. The ingredients are integrated and then applied to the face for a certain amount of time. This mask is ideal for individuals who suffer from dry skin.

This mask is composed of two ingredients: oatmeal and water. There are many advantages to using oatmeal to make a facial mask. First, oatmeal has hypoallergenic properties, which means it acts as a soothing agent and alleviates irritated skin. It works great to get rid of itchy rashes and allergy-related skin problems. Oatmeal also acts as a natural exfoliant because of its gritty texture.

The oatmeal helps shed away old, dead skin cells and make room for new, healthy skin cells to grow. As a result, the skin will appear vibrant and glowy. The mask is simple and convenient to make at home. It is a mask that would help individuals with sensitive skin, since oatmeal has anti-inflammatory properties.
