Banana’s contain vitamin B6, vitamin C, Manganese, Magnesium, Potassium and enzymes. Making it ideal for formation and regeneration of new skin cells.

Oatmeal contains 18 different amino acids and has hypo allergenic properties that help heal blemishes, rashes, allergies and repair damaged skin. Oatmeal can absorb and remove skin impurities while providing very gentle exfoliation, leaving skin smooth, soft, and clean with a healthy glow.

Yogurt is effective at cleansing and disinfecting pores, preventing acne, moisturizing the skin and revitalizing its texture. Yogurt’s antibacterial and antifungal properties make it a useful, de-germing cleanser treating skin conditions such as acne and eczema, and its lactic-acid content soothes irritation, clarifies the pores and softens the skin.
