Banana Peel & Cornstarch Anti-Wrinkle Mask

Ingredients:

• 1 medium banana peel (yellow, not too ripe or too green)
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon honey (optional for added hydration)
• 2 tablespoons water

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Banana Peel:
   • Scrape the inside of a fresh banana peel with a spoon, collecting the soft, white inner part.
2. Cornstarch Paste:
   • In a small saucepan, mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water.
   • Heat the mixture over low heat, stirring constantly until it thickens into a smooth paste. Remove from heat and let it cool.
3. Combine Ingredients:
   • Once the cornstarch has cooled, mix in the banana peel paste and honey (if using).
   • Stir the mixture thoroughly until it forms a smooth, even paste.
4. Application:
   • Cleanse your face with a gentle face wash.
   • Apply the mask evenly across your face, focusing on areas with wrinkles or fine lines.
   • Leave the mask on for 15–20 minutes.
5. Rinse Off:
   • Gently rinse your face with lukewarm water and pat dry with a clean towel.
   • Follow with a moisturizer or facial oil to lock in hydration.

Benefits:

• Banana peel is rich in antioxidants and silica, which can promote collagen production, potentially tightening the skin.
• Cornstarch helps in absorbing excess oil while providing a tightening effect.
• Honey is a natural humectant, which hydrates and softens the skin.

For best results, you can use this mask 2–3 times a week.
