A facial scrub is really what's going to make your skin look its best all the time. And
I highly recommend that you do it at least twice a week, no matter what your skin type
is. So for this mask, we're going to use three ingredients only. I took one very ripe banana
and I just mooshed it up into a bowl with a fork. I'm going to use one cup of cooked
oatmeal. And, I also have four tablespoons of organic whole
milk. Milk is an incredible ingredient because it has lactic acid which exfoliates the skin
without you having to do anything. So, it really
brightens up the skin right away. So, I'm going to add my milk to my banana that's already
mashed. And now, I'm going to add my one cup of oatmeal to the mixture. And, I'm just going
to moosh everything together a little bit.
This mask actually smells amazing. It's going to smell like you should be eating it and
not putting it on your skin. But, I love using organic fresh ingredients for the skin because
I really think that you're getting amazing vitamins and nutrients straight into your
skin. And, that's what's going to make your skin look the best, rather than using ingredients
with chemicals or anything harsh.
So right now, I have blended together the oatmeal, the banana, and the milk. The best
way to apply this mask is just to use your finger tips. So, you know, you pick up a little
bit of the mask with your finger tips and you work it into the skin a little bit. You
just make small circular motions until you have it all over the surface of your skin.
I would, then, leave it on the face for 15 minutes.
The milk, like I said, has lactic acid. It's going to exfoliate your skin naturally, while
it's sitting there. The banana contains a lot of potassium. It's incredible for your
lymphatic system. The lymphatic system is what helps your skin clean itself and it provides
nutrients to every cell in your body. So, it's really important that it functions properly.
If you exfoliate two or three times a week, you're going to have skin that is actually
able to accept the products you use following it, much more readily. In other words, if
you're using an amazing serum or an amazing moisturizer, that's actually going to get
into your skin better and those nutrients are going to go in faster because you've kept
your skin exfoliated all week. So, it's a really important
step that I don't want anyone to skip.
