A simple and easy to make face mask, loaded with natural ingredients will provide many nutrients to help boost your skin’s complexion. Making a natural product means not including nasty chemicals which can cause harm on your skin. But, instead providing goodness from ingredients which can help protect deep within the cells.
This homemade recipe combines the moisturizing effects of vitamin-rich avocado, banana and nourishing honey to create that smoothing and skin-conditioning treatment, which feels and tastes great, as well.
Health Benefits of:
1. Avocado
The healthy avocado is high in omega-3 fatty acids, which help to maintain moisture in the skin, keeping it soft and supple, making it a perfect food for daily skincare.
Other benefits for healthy skin from the avocado fruit includes protection from visible radiation and UV rays due to its zeaxanthin and lutein content. Also, treatment for some forms of dermatitis.
2. Banana
Banana is loaded with important nutrients and vitamins that provide a fantastic base for a homemade beauty face mask. These include manganese, vitamin B6, potassium, vitamin C, fiber and biotin. Vitamin B6 helps in producing red blood cells, providing energy to the body and detoxing the liver, which are all important functions in providing healthy skin. While the nutrient manganese helps in building collagen for healthy skin, and is a potent antioxidant which helps in protecting against free radical damage.
Vitamin C is important for keeping your immune system healthy, while also providing protection against free radical damage and producing healthy collagen.
Another nutrient which is important for skin health is biotin, which is essential to build healthy fats in your skin. These fats helps in keeping your skin moist and supple, and when they are gone, the skin becomes irritated and flaky. Consume more biotin, vitamin C and manganese-rich foods to help prevent skin rashes and to have smooth skin.
3. Honey
Honey is a natural anti-fungal, anti-bacterial and antiseptic food. This sweet substance contains hydrogen peroxide, which is a natural humectant that retains and attracts moisture. Some of honey’s benefits include reducing inflammation, diminishing scar size, promotes healing, stimulating tissue regeneration, and treating eczema and psoriasis.
Overall, honey can help to heal wounds and produce a wonderful face mask for that healthy and moisturized skin.
