You don’t always need to head to the spa for a facial or beauty treatment. Sometimes you can find the anti-aging treatments you are looking for right in your very own kitchen. Here are three homemade beauty recipes that you should give a try.
Banana Against Wrinkles
- Mash 1/2 banana and 1 Tablespoon of milk until very creamy.
- Spread mixture all over your face.
- Lay back and read a magazine for 20 minutes.
- Rinse off with warm water, followed by a splash of ice cold water.
Lemon-Egg Mask

To even out your skin tone and banish age spots, nothing beats this treatment.
- Beat one egg white in a small bowl.
- Mix in the juice of 1/2 lemon.
- Spread evenly over your face and leave on overnight.
- Rinse in the morning with warm water.
- Repeat weekly.
Banana-Avocado Hair Mask
- Blend 1/2 banana, 1/4 avocado, 2 Tablespoons honey and 1 Tablespoon yogurt.
- Apply generously to hair from root to tip.
- Leave in for 20-30 minutes.
- Rinse with cool water.
This is very useful information, thank you! I use another version of a banana face mask: Mash banana and mix with olive oil. Leave on face, neck and hands until absorbed…about 30 min. and shower off.
Also important to know: only do an oil based mask such as this when you are not going outside…it is best to do in the evening before showering and staying in. And..after this mask you really don’t need to do an evening moisture cream..just let your skin breathe..
