Banana is one of the most favorite fruits for children. But it is not only delicious, but also very useful product - banana pulp contains a huge amount of useful substances: vitamins C, B, carotene, vitamin E, without which carotene is not digested, and potassium. Also bananas contribute to reducing blood pressure and the formation of "hormones of happiness" in the body.
Of course, such a unique, and most importantly, affordable product could not ignore the cosmetic industry. Banana mask for the face is able to smooth out fine wrinkles, moisten the skin, give it a fresh and rested look in just a few minutes. But any jar with a cosmetic product from a pharmacy or a store contains a chemical base, in which a limited amount of nutrients is added, and for the skin the most useful are only natural compounds. That is why it is recommended to make a face mask from bananas at home.
