DO NOT EAT! Healthy face masks!

We recently bought 2 cars and needed car insurance in Australia.  They don't have the typical USAA, State Farm, etc so we were clueless where to start.  And then we discovered RACQ at Noosa when looking for a resort.  Catch, we couldn't stay because we weren't members.  Buuuuuuutttt they sell car insurance. :) Lucky us, we just so happen to be in the market for it, so now we are members and can stay at all these fun resorts all over Australia.  (we plan to travel a lot while we are here! I'm already sad that 3 weeks have passed, time is going by too fast!!) . 

Our first RACQ email was very intriguing...healthy face masks!  And it involves honey which might be my favorite ingredient for all things.  LOL There are tons more HERE!!

Banana, honey and baking soda (pictured above)

Ingredients:
-1/2 ripe banana
-1 teaspoon of honey
-1 tablespoon of baking soda

This mask for hydration and exfoliation and can be done in one step. The baking soda provides gentle exfoliation, while the honey is a natural humectant. The mask smells amazing and it feels great on the skin. It tends to feel a bit goopy, but it dries within a few minutes.  They almost lost me with the "goopy" but I'm going to try it.  For added exfoliation, rub the mask into your skin as you wash it off. This will really work the baking soda into your skin and gets rid of any nasty dead skin cells. YUCK! Let this mask soak into your skin for ten minutes in order to achieve maximum hydration.  Sounds like I need a weekend to myself for some pampering and face mask time :)
