Guest post: DIY banana milkshake exfoliating mask
Hello!
How are you?
I’m Lizzie from creative blog Head full of flowers and today I’ll be showing you how to make one of my favourite quick and easy facial masks/cleansers that smells like banana milkshake and really exfoliates, reduces redness and refreshes the skin.
Before I begin I’d like to say a big thank you to the wonderful Sasha for allowing me to guest post on her amazing blog here today. It’s such a privilege and I’m so happy to have the opportunity to talk to you, her wonderful readers and share a little snippet of what I do on my own blog with you!
You will need:
A handful of oats
1tbsp sugar
1/2 tsp ginger
1/4 tsp olive oil
1 tsp vanilla essence
1 banana, sliced
To make:
Simply mix all ingredients together well until you meet desired consistency, if necessary add a few drops of water to help this process.
To use:
Use mask immediately. Damp face, apply mask to face and neck. Leave for 10-20 minutes and then rinse and pat dry.
(I recommend using a sieve if you’re using a sink!)
I really hope you’ve enjoyed this DIY!

This looks lovely! i often buy face masks but recently I like to be more in control of the chemicals that are on my skin and this is so natural! Does it really work?

This sounds amazing.. especially as i’m imagining the delicious smell of banana! Unfortunately, my skin is ridiculously sensitive and so I tend not to experiment with anything new (yeah I know, super dull).. but one day in the future if I’m to try a face mask, this will definitely be at the very top of the list! Thanks for sharing! :)
