Green Bean Mask

Have you been throwing out left-over beans? After seeing this mask recipe, you will never do it again.

Ingredients

• handful of green beans
• tsp sour cream
• 1 vitamin E capsule

1. Using microwave, cook beans in a small amount of water.
2. Drain.
3. Puree the beans and then mix them with sour cream
Apply mask to face and then relax for 10 minutes to allow the ingredients to soften your skin. 

*I mentioned that your skin will be soft. That is because of the sour cream. Sour cream is rich in lactic acid and helps soften and remove dead skin cells.

You could also use dry beans instead of the cooked variety. Grind the into a powder and watch them help remove dead skin cells.

• Meadowsweet of England, uses bananas in their lip balm, soap, shampoos and conditioners.

• In 1999 at the largest Tudor archeological site in the world, something incredible was unearthed. It was a lowly banana... a very well preserved 500 year old banana. See link below.
• Bananas were officially introduced to America at the 1876 Philadelphia Centennial Exhibition. Each banana was wrapped in foil and sold for a dime.
• 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.
