My three-ingredient face mask is very cheap and easy to make – it banishes wrinkles & brightens your skin
A BEAUTY fan has shared the homemade face mask she uses to brighten her complexion.
The skincare enthusiast demonstrated how to make her budget-friendly three-ingredient mixture.
In her video, Kem (@yagurlkem) showed her followers “how to make my natural face mask.”
For her first step, she cut a quarter of a banana and placed it in a bowl.
“Squash it until it looks like this,” the TikToker said as she mashed the fruit.
“Add one tablespoon of honey and a little bit of lemon juice and make sure it looks like this.”
She mixed the ingredients together until they resembled a paste.
“Then you’re going to apply it all over your face,” Kem explained to her viewers.
For her final touch, she placed under-eye masks over the mixture as it set on her face.
“Some of the benefits to using banana on your face is that it helps to reduce hyperpigmentation,” she said.
According to the experts at Lifestyle Asia, bananas are often used in skincare as their nutrients promote a healthy complexion.
“It hydrates and moisturizes dry skin, leaving it smooth and supple since it is high in potassium and moisture,” the professionals said.
“Honey, on the other hand, contains repairing properties,” Kem explained.
The beauty professionals at Healthline discussed the benefits of honey in skincare.
“Since honey has exfoliating properties, using it on your face can eliminate dead skin cells that make your skin look dull, this can reveal brighter skin,” they explained.
Nuvo Magazine delved into the anti-aging properties of the household product.
“Raw, unpasteurized honey is filled with vitamins and minerals, promoting anti-aging properties that play an integral role in repairing and renewing skin cells,” the experts said.
“The result is youthful, glowing skin.”
Kem discussed the role that lemon juice plays in her homemade face mask.
“Lemon contains Vitamin C, which brightens your skin and gives you an even skin tone,” she said.
According to the health pros at SkinKraft, the citrus fruit can help to reduce excess oils as well as fade away dark spots.
“Due to the rich acid content in lemon, it has excellent skin-lightening properties,” they explained.
“Also, it is effective in reducing age spots and dark spots.”
