never really all that precise with it, just make sure it's about that

much. Coconut oil is a very hydrating and natural option for

moisturizing your skin and even your hair. For this tutorial I used

LouAna because that's what I happened to have, but I usually use

something else for my skin. This worked nicely though.

Step 2: Take

one whole banana and mash it into a gushy mess with a spoon or a fork.

Banana is another one of those things that's really good for your skin

and hair. Make sure that the banana is ripe!

Step 3: Put them in the same bowl. Mix the banana and coconut oil together thoroughly. It should lighten the color of the banana slightly. 

Step 4: Wet your face with warm water and apply the mixture

generously. It's a pretty messy mask, so you probably want to tie your

hair back and maybe even put something to block it from touching your

hair line.

Step 5: Wait for twenty minutes! It may seem like a long

time, but you can always do something like write out a post, check your

email, watch TV. Although it's probably better to stay with your face in the air, so laying in bed listening to music or soaking in the bath tub would be ideal

Step 6: Rinse your face with warm water. Make sure you get all the pieces off, because as I said it can get pretty messy. Pat your skin dry with a towel, but do it gently. Moisturize your face as you normally would.

** If you want an extra boost you can rub the banana peel on your face, but make sure to rinse this, too!

I hope you guys like this as much as I did. My skin went from nearly crocodile dry to normal after using it just once. I really, really like the way that it turned out. If you have any questions you can find me at my blog, twitter, or email
