Summer’s Beauty Tips: Banana and Chickpea Protein Mask

December 29, 2008 By Tricia Leave a Comment

I was once told that there is no such thing as an ugly woman, only a lazy one. I have found this to be so true! There are numerous things you can do to help your appearance. From working out, experimenting with make-up, to facials to give your face a healthy glow! And speaking of facials to give your face a healthy glow, I think that will be the first recipe I share with you! This recipe is for a banana and chickpea protein mask. The reason for using chickpea flour is its many advantages. It’s a proven skin softening exfoliator, it stimulates circulation and it rejuvenates tissues! The bananas in this mask will help reduce both puffiness and redness. You will also need an egg which will help tighten pores and leaves your skin feeling rejuvenated! Now that you know what these ingredients do, it’s time to tell you how much is needed!

4 tablespoons chickpea flour
1 ripe banana, peeled and mashed
1 egg, beaten

Now onto the mix! In a bowl, blend the chickpea flour and banana until it turns to a paste. Next add the beaten egg. Apply the mixture to your face and neck, leaving on for 15 minutes. When the 15 minutes are up, rinse well with warm water and gently pat dry. You can’t get a much simpler (or cost effective) all natural facial mask than that! Although if you can, I’ll be sharing that one with everyone too!

Before I end this, I want to share a quick beauty tip….

The skin on the neck and chest are very sensitive areas. These areas show the signs of aging such as sunspots, wrinkling and dryness very early on. So instead of using soaps which can dry these areas out even more, use your facial cleansing cream instead!
