Excellent
exfoliating mask
If you are looking for an exfoliating mask, blend a mashed
banana with white cosmetic clay and apply. This mask is both
moisturizing and nourishing.
Your
hands can benefit from bananas as well. Mash a banana with
a little butter and then rub the mixture into your hands.
That is all there is to it.
Astringents
Take 1 peeled cucumber; add 6 tsp rose water, 4 tsp Eau-de-cologne
and 3 tsp glycerin. Make a paste in a blender and strain to
get a lotion. Refrigerate and use on face and body.
Take ½ lemon, ½ orange and 3/4 cup ethanol alcohol.
Blend in a mixer and strain. Refrigerate and use.
Mash strawberries, use as an astringent and cleansing facemask.
Lemon is a strong astringent, dilute with water before using,
being careful to keep away from eyes.
