Use overripe bananas to make a home-made face pack!

Thinking of throwing away the overripe banana? Here's a tip to make good use of it. Simply make a face pack out of it. Banana has moisturising properties which are extremely good for people who have dry skin. It will not only moisturise it but also hydrate and seal it in your skin. To make this paste, take a bowl and mash the banana. Now add some drops of honey and two tablespoons of plain yoghurt in it. Mix all of it into a smooth paste and apply it on your face and neck area avoiding the area around the eyes. Let it stay for 15-20 minutes before washing it away with water. If you want, add some oats in the paste to exfoliate your skin. This will get rid of the dead skin cells and keeps it looking gorgeous for longer.
