INGREDIENTS

• 2 ripe banana peels
• 2 tablespoons plain yogurt
• 2 tablespoons fresh aloe vera gel

Steps To Making A Banana Face Mask For Wrinkles

1. Begin by thoroughly washing the ripe banana peels to remove any dirt or residue.
2. Use a spoon or butter knife to scrape the inside of the banana peels to collect the pulp.
3. Place the scraped banana peel pulp into a blender or food processor.
4. Add plain yogurt, and fresh aloe vera gel to the blender.
5. Blend the mixture until it is smooth and well combined.
6. Transfer the mixture into a twisting tube applicator, such as a clean lip balm tube or an empty deodorant stick.
7. Twist the tube to push the mixture up and fill it completely.
8. Place the tube in the freezer and allow the mixture to freeze completely, preferably overnight.
9. Once frozen, remove the tube from the freezer to use and place back in the freezer when done.

Rubbing ice on your face has numerous benefits. It reduces puffiness, soothes irritation, and enhances circulation, resulting in healthier-looking skin. Ice also minimizes the appearance of pores, refreshes tired skin, and primes it for better absorption of skincare products.

Additionally, it helps control oiliness by regulating sebum production, making it particularly beneficial for oily or combination skin types.

How to use a banana face mask for wrinkles

1. To use, twist the bottom of the tube to push the frozen mask up slightly.
2. Apply the mask directly onto your clean, dry face, using gentle circular motions.
3. Leave the mask on for about 10-15 minutes to allow the nutrients to penetrate the skin.
4. After the designated time, rinse off the mask with lukewarm water and pat your face dry.
5. Follow up with your favorite moisturizer to lock in hydration.

The frequency of using the frozen banana face mask for wrinkles can depend on your skin type.

• Normal to Dry Skin: You can use this mask 1-2 times per week to help hydrate and nourish the skin. Since dry skin tends to benefit from more moisture, using it twice a week can be beneficial.
• Oily or Acne-Prone Skin: If you have oily or acne-prone skin, you may want to use this mask less frequently, such as once a week. Overusing masks on oily skin can potentially lead to over-moisturizing or clogged pores, exacerbating acne.
• Sensitive Skin: For those with sensitive skin, it’s essential to be cautious with new skincare products. Start by using the mask once every 1-2 weeks and monitor your skin’s reaction. If you experience any irritation or discomfort, decrease the frequency or discontinue use.
• Combination Skin: If you have combination skin with both oily and dry areas, you can use the mask once or twice a week, focusing on the areas that need it most. For example, you might apply the mask more often to dry patches while using it less frequently on oily areas.

WHAT MAKES THIS MASK BENIFITAL?

• Provides moisture and hydration to the skin, helping to improve skin texture and smoothness.

• Contains probiotics, which can help balance the skin’s microbiome and promote a healthy skin barrier.

• Soothes and calms irritated skin, reducing redness and inflammation.

Fresh Aloe Vera Gel:

• Contains vitamins and minerals, including vitamins A, C, and E, which nourish and protect the skin.

• Provides intense hydration to the skin, helping to soothe and moisturize dry or irritated skin.

• Has anti-inflammatory properties, which can help reduce redness, swelling, and irritation.

Hello everyone, welcome to my neck of the woods! My name is Eligh, I was born in Portland, Oregon, and I love to forage! From when I was very young, my father took me out picking mushrooms, fishing, and camping. He loved to forage for mushrooms, and so naturally, I developed a keen eye for mushroom identification. After meeting my lovely wife on the Oregon coast, I started spending all of my free time out in the woods with plant, mushroom, and tree identification books. After some time I was able to identify every tree, plant, and mushroom that I came across. I learned their uses, both by native Americans and settlers alike. At this time, I also began fishing for salmon, trout, and different species of coastal rockfish. I always felt a strong sense of pride to be able to harvest a wide variety of wild edibles to suit my palate, and then harvest some natural bait and catch a fish, even how to make hooks and line using plants and trees that grow on the river bank.
I started cooking at a very young age. In middle school, my friends and their parents would ask me to cook food for them because I could make something out of nothing. I love to cook up new concoctions and see what everyone likes. When I became of working age, I started as a buss boy at a barbecue restaurant, and then moved on to work all positions of the restaurant industry. From head chef of a Jamaican restaurant in Tulsa, OK, to sous chef at a highly accredited bistro on the Oregon coast, all before I turned 21.
I Inherited land in southeast Oklahoma and now spend my days working a Fedex delivery route and working with my wife and 3 young boys on our rural homestead. We raise many different kinds of animals and some vegetable gardens. I hunt all manor of large and small game, and butcher all of my own meat. We harvest wild edibles of all kinds and enjoy to cook with them and eat them.
I am grateful that you stopped by to see how we are doing and hope to see you again very soon. We would love to be friends and hope you enjoy all of the recipes and information that I can manage to put out.
Thank you, and much love!
-Eligh
