Why a banana facial, what are the benefits of banana for me…or my skin?

They are one of the most nourishing fruits available because they contain large quantities of magnesium, potassium, zinc, iodine, iron and vitamins A, B (folic acid), E, and F and much more…Guess what, that's all good stuff especially for your skin

Because of these qualities it is often used to battle dry skin and wrinkles. Banana facials moisturize and soothe your skin

Some words of Caution

A lot of fruits contain citric acid. Lemon, lime and orange (juice) in specific. When you use them in a skin treatment always be careful with how much you use. Too much can cause acid burns. Also if you have sensitive skin be extra aware with these ingredients

Same goes for all essential oils, this is really powerful stuff; be very careful what and how much you use

Because you can never be too careful when it comes to your skin, always do a patch test on a small piece of skin (e.g. behind the ear) to see how your skin reacts to separate ingredients
