Bananas are one of my favorite foods, and they are also great natural moisturizers. Their high water and vitamin content make them great for softening and nourishing skin. For a simple skin- and hair-softerning mask, mash half a banana with some yogurt and honey. Or pick up one of the skin care products below featuring banana as an ingredient :)

I love Burt's Bees Beeswax & Banana Hand Creme! I just bought some on sale at my local pharmacy for $5, I was super-excited :)
ReplyDeleteIt's so funny, I love eating bananas, but I generally don't like the scent in lotions and soaps and such. I don't know, these things are tempting me to try again!
ReplyDelete@Susan S - Awesome, thanks for sharing! I've never tried it before but I'm intrigued...
ReplyDelete@Sarah - Yeah, sometimes you get that super-syntehtic banana scent that's just yucky. I wonder if some of these smell more authentic because they use real banana vs. synthetic fragrances? If I try some of them and find out I will let you know!
Hi, new follower here :) I've used the Burts Bees Hand Creme a few times & absolutely love it, mind you I pretty much love everything Burts Bees do and I love bananas, so it was a win win really lol :)
ReplyDeleteHey Dana, Thanks for the comment! I also love Burts Bees and bananas, so hopefully one day (when I'm no longer pinching pennies) that hand creme will be mine!
