Banana Scrub

Time Required: 30 Min
What You Need: 2 Ripe bananas, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, and cool water to rinse. Honey (optional).
Difficulty: Easy

Bananas are a popular fruit across the world, but did you know that they also make for excellent exfoliation scrubs? That’s right, the pulp of the banana fruit, mixed with sugar granules, helps get rid of dead skin cells when scrubbed on the face. Banana also has a mild aroma that results in a refreshing exfoliation process. Honey is added for its humectant properties that help the skin retain moisture and prevent drying. Below are the steps you need to prepare banana scrub.

Directions:

1. Peel the two bananas and mash in a bowl until you have a coarse consistent paste.
2. Add the sugar to the mashed bananas before drizzling the honey and mixing some more.
3. Massage this fruity scrub on your skin for 20 minutes or so and then rinse using cool water.
4. Slather a generous amount of moisturizing lotion on your skin to lock in the positive effects. Read More
