Blending Procedure:

1. Use a food processor to completely pulverize the banana. Add the honey and rosewater and process to mix thoroughly.
   
   
2. Add the oats next and mix well. Finally, add the jojoba oil and Vitamin E and mix further. Make sure the ingredients are fully mixed. Scrape down the sides of the mixing bowl to make sure all oats are incorporated.
   
   
3. To use, apply a thin layer to cleaned face and neck skin. Rest for about 6-8 minutes so the banana and oils can soothe your skin and the clay can absorb excess impurities from the surface. Rinse well with warm water and pat excess water from skin. Follow with moisturizer as usual.
   
   
4. Due to the fresh banana, this product must be used within a few days and should be stored in the refrigerator. If you can''t use it all yourself that quickly, give some to a friend or cut the recipe in half. Enjoy!!
