Bananas are one of the most nourishing fruits available because they contain large quantities of magnesium, potassium, iron, zinc, iodine, and vitamins A, B (folic acid), E, and F.
Here they are teamed with heavy cream (traditionally used to prevent wrinkles) and organic honey in a recipe crammed full of nutrients.
INGREDIENTS
1 small banana
2 tablespoons fresh heavy cream
1 tablespoon organic honey
1 tablespoon oat flour
bottled or spring water
rose hydrosol (see "Note," below, about hydrosols.
METHOD
Mash the banana, using the back of a fork, and then add cream, honey,
and flour. Stir to mix well. You may need to add a little more cream or
flour to obtain the consistency of thick cream of yogurt.
Apply mask to the clean face, including the area around the eyes and the neck, and leave on for 30 minutes. Rinse off with bottled or spring water and cotton pads, and dab on a little rose hydrosol, allowing to dry naturally.

Note
about hydrosols: Also known as floral waters (but not flower waters),
hydrosols are a byproduct of steam distillation, created while
extracting essential oil. Hydrosols have properties similar to those of
their related essential oils, although inevitably in a less
concentrated form, but they are enriched with various water-soluble
active ingredients. Their gentleness makes them an excellent way to
tone, hydrate, and rebalance the pH of the skin, so they are frequently
recommended as final cleansers/toners after cleansing or nourishing
masks.
