This mask is suitable for people with dry to normal skin. You can still use it if you have oily or combined skin, but it most likely won't work so well for you. This mask hydrates, nourishes and moisturizes the skin. It also has exfoliating properties and can serve as an excellent scrub to remove dead skin and impurities.
The mask was inspired by the Oatifix face mask by Lush.
Ingredients:
1/2 ripe banana
1/2 cup oatmeal
several almonds
1 teaspoon glycerin
several drops vanilla extract
The original Oatifix face mask contains the following ingredients: glycerine, fine oatmeal, fresh organic bananas, water, ground almonds, illipe butter, kaolin, talc, vanilla pod, sandalwood oil, benzoin resinoid, coumarin, benzyl cinnamate, linalool, perfume, gardenia extract.
Preparation:
Ground the oatmeal and almonds to a fine powder. Next mash the banana and mix with the powdered oatmeal and almonds. Add glycerin and vanilla extract and mix well. If you feel the mask is too thick you can add some distilled water or rose water to the mixture.
Apply to clean face for about 10-15 minutes. Before washing off exfoliate.
