How to make and use a Sour Cream Banana and Honey Face Pack
Sour Cream Banana and Honey Face Pack – Today is shopping day so before I go shopping I always check to see what I have left in the fridge, what needs to be thrown away, and what fodds are still in date etc……
So in my fridge I found some sour cream left over, not enough for another meal so I decided to make a face pack out of it.
Sour cream is great for dry skin a weekly sour cream mask will help lock in moisture and make your skin feel really soft, it’s a natural exfoliator. Sour cream contains Lactic acid is used in many beauty and skincare products, such as moisturizers, shampoos and soaps, by using it in your own home treatments it will give your skin a real boost.
One word of warning lactic acid–is a type of alpha-hydroxy acid, this helps remove dead skin which helps to promote new skin cells, it also evens out skin tone and will help reduce the appearance of fine lines. The alpha-hydroxy agents, can increase the skin’s sensitivity to sunlight, so make sure to use sunscreen when using sour cream in your beauty routine.
So to make this face pack you will need to make Sour Cream Banana and Honey Face Pack for dry skin
- A Bowl
- A fork for mixing
- 2 tablespoons of sour cream,
- half a banana
- one tablespoon of honey
- A soft Towel
So measure out your ingreadients and mask the banana and mix all the ingredients together to make a thick paste.
Apply a thick layer of this mixture to your face starting at your chin and use small circullar motion and apply all over the face. Leave it on for about 10 minutes and then wash off with warm water and pat your skin dry with a soft towel.
So what did I think and how did my skin feel after using a Sour Cream Banana and Honey Face Pack
Next time I make it I would use a blender to make sure there are no banana lumps in it as it was quite difficult to put on, but a part from that I was pleased with the results. As soon as you put it on it feels very soothing and afterwards my skin looked refreshed. There was loads left over so I have put it in the fridge and I will use it again in a couple of days.
