FRUITY AND PROUD
In this business, it's difficult to differentiate what's to eat and what we're applying on our faces. Luckily, we usually don't have to choose. KEY INGREDIENTS: Banana, Papaya, Avocado Benefits: Moisturizing, Anti-Aging, Cleansing Good for: All Skin Types and Dandruff Can be used for: Face, Hair Ingredients: 1/2 very ripe avocado (soft) 1/3 ripe banana 1 lemon juice 1/4 cup of ripe papaya 1 teaspoon of coconut oil 2 tablespoons of Montmorillonite clay Directions Mix juice from lemon and Montmorillonite clay until smooth. Add in coconut oil. Stir until mixed in. Mash in avocado, banana, and papaya. Tell me more! Avocados are rich in fatty acids, vitamins, and antioxidants that can do wonders for your skin, particularly anti-aging. Papaya has become a leading ingredient in skin brightening products due to the natural enzyme, papain, which promotes skin renewal and cell turnover to exfoliate and reveal newer, brighter cells. It also helps with achieving dandruff-free hair! Bananas contain vitamins and nutrients that fight wrinkles and promote clear glowing, youthful skin. Some folks have even gone as far to call it nature’s botox.
