DIY: Anti-aging facemask



Here is a great moisturising facemask by Birchbox that I had to share with you all. All the ingredients can be found right in your pantry! I tried it one morning with left over oatmeal porridge and worked like a treat. Did you know Bananas are full of vitamin A and potassium, which naturally moisturises and nourishes the skin? Aside from numerous health benefits (high in potassium, iron, and protein), egg whites are nature’s skin tightening remedy. Honey is the miracle ingredient that retains and attracts moisture. And the the last ingredient - oatmeal's grainy little flakes will remove dead skin cells from your face, leaving your complexion soft and smooth!! 

What you'll need
½ ripe banana 
1 egg-white
1 tsp honey
½ cupcooked oatmeal
Apply a thin layer of the mask to your face, adding more layers to certain problem areas. Leave the mask on for 15-20 minutes. Rinse off with warm water, dry your skin, and apply toner and/or a moisturizer.
