Banana “Botox” Mask

As an Amazon Associate and member of other affiliate programs, I earn from qualifying purchases.

I saw this on Pinterest last winter.
I, of course, thought “this cannot be true?”
This was something that was shown by Dr. Oz in 2010.
When I read the reviews, there were a couple of people who REALLY noticed a difference, and a few who just said that their skin felt softer.
One night I decided to give it a go, I had some ripe bananas and all of the rest, so I figured it couldn’t hurt right?
Banana “Botox” Mask
as seen on pinterest and Dr. Oz
1/2 ripe banana, mashed
1/4 cup plain yogurt
1 teaspoon honey
Combine the ingredients and apply to face and leave on for 15 minutes and wash off.
It’s mentioned on Dr. Oz’s article that doing a warm washcloth over the top helps.
I have done it both ways, and didn’t see much of a difference.
(it tastes great, by the way!)
I will tell you that I didn’t look 15 years younger, but it is a nice mask.  My skin felt somewhat tighter, and way softer.  It lasts for a couple of days.
I am curious to see if any of you have ever tried this?
Or any other kitchen spa mask that you like?
Please let me know!!

  1. H, after cleansing and exfoliating my face today, I made up your Mask, used it and relaxed for 15 to 20 minutes.
    I could feel my skin firming as the Mask set and dried.
    After removing the Mask, my face looked fabulous,brighter,smoother,softer and it felt good.
    Thank you for this share and I will continue using the Mask now a couple of times a week,I like the result a lot.

  2. Headed for year 55 in just a couple of days i wanted to treat my feet to this previously used and proven callous remover.

Looking forward to browsing your site. Thank you.
