Homemade facial masks for dry skin

Before applying the mask tie your hair and make sure your face is cleaned.

1) Banana face mask

Banana is loaded with soothing properties and it also enhances the glow on your face. It is known to be helpful in clearing acne as well. Also highly rich in vitamins. Mixing it with honey will give you a moisturizing effect. Honey contains amino acids, which help the skin retain its essential moisture. Because of its many antioxidants, honey scavenges for free radicals. The rich zinc content of yogurt will help to clear your skin. Apart from zinc, plain yogurt contains lactic acid, a natural skin smoother.
