As I write this, I am trying an experiment. I read an article on various homemade facials. I’ve tried the egg one – worked nicely. Today, I’m trying a mashed banana. Mash it up, apply to face, wait 10-20 minutes and wash it off and it will “moisturize your skin and leave it looking and feeling softer.” I’m about at 5-7 minutes into it and banana is dropping off my face – starting to giggle as I write this – how absurd can I get….
Here’s an article about 20 fascinating facts about bananas. I will let you know if it should be 21, shortly.
About 10-12 minutes into it, it’s getting tight. Smells nice though.
Lost track of time filling out a government form, so maybe a total of 30 minutes. Rinsed – a lot. Skin looks and feels great. Time to feed Ella & Elby, That Cat! Both of them were fascainted, tried to give me a bath.

They vary – but a free banana lick should produce a good turnout!

Hmmmm…..this sounds like a plan…though…my sister might question my sanity and the fact we’d be one banana short from the kitchen (she likes that fruit quite a bit)…hehe

I can’t begin to think how it stayed on! – I mean, you can’t have been lying down, or you wouldn’t’ve been able to type … Plastic wrapped yer head? Naah: you would’ve died. You’re not dead, are yer, Huntie?

M.R., still alive and moist – grin! Wrapped my hair in towel, mashed up the banana into a paste with a fork, took handfuls and bravely smeared it all over my face – should have done more mashing as clumps of banana fell off – LOL. Works – even the next day, skin still soft…
P.S. – I took my glasses off before applying… 🙂

Hunt, A banana facial, what will better homes and gardens think of next. I am so sure that Ella & Elby both want to take part in your clean up. I am so glad the gulk didn’t face from your face ontn the keyboard, I don’t know if I understand banana or not. If this works out do I need to by stock in Chiquita Inc.??? Take care, Bill

Benze, Ella, the Greythound enjoys bites of banana, while Elby is always curious, but in the end turns up his nose – until I was wearing it on my face – then he inspected me very closely with nose, whiskers and a soft paw or two with a tentative lick. 🙂
