Let your skin drink for the difference

Smoothies is what you have been drinking on and off in your life. But, to get rid of dry skin, its time you feed your skin with some wonderful smoothie to drink up. In a bowl, add 2 bananas and mash it well. Add 2 tablespoons of honey to this mixture, use a hand beater or electric beater to blend this mixture into a very smooth and fine paste. Apply this pack to the dried parts of your skin – your legs, arms etc. and leave it on for 20 mins. Let your skin drink up all the liquid in these 20 mins.
