Did you know that The Body Shop uses 250,000 bananas
each year for their banana products !!!
So www.epakistantrade.org 's Fashion & Beauty section
thought that we would take a closer look at bananas
and how they can play a part in our beauty regimen.
It's
a little known fact that Guatamalan ladies often used
mashed bananas to help relieve dry skin. So if you can
talk yourself into a nice leisurely rest for 20 minutes
or so, slice a banana and then simply lay the slices
on your face to allow the oils and vitamins to permeate
the layers.

Excellent
exfoliating mask
If
you are looking for an exfoliating mask, blend a mashed
banana with white cosmetic clay and apply. This mask
is both moisturizing and nourishing.
Your
hands can benefit from bananas as well. Mash a banana
with a little butter and then rub the mixture into your
hands. That is all there is to it.
