How Bananas Can Be Used in Skin Care?

Answer 1

Banana peals are good for more than just containing bananas. They can be used in Skin Care as well. Bananas are filled with nutrients such as potassium, and the antioxidant lutein. They are good for people suffering from warts, poison ivy, and psoriasis.

For psoriasis, you can gently rub the inside of a banana peal against the area of your skin that is suffering from irritation. It will remain red when you first use it, but after a few days you may start to notice a difference.

Banana peals are also good for acne, regardless of whether it is on your body or on your face. Again, it won’t solve the problem right away, but after a few uses over a few days, the problem will start to go away. It is a good idea to do this before going to bed, both because this is when your body is doing the most to repair itself, and because you will smell like a banana throughout the day if you do it in the morning.

Rubbing a banana peal against the inflamed, itchy, red area caused by poison ivy can also help you to deal with the effects. The banana peal is soothing to the skin on contact and helps the rash go away over time. This makes for a good reason to bring a banana along when you go on a camping or a hiking trip, preparing you for hunger as well as poison ivy.

For warts, you will need to rub the banana peal against the affected area each night for about week. This works on all warts, but it works especially well on Plantar’s warts.

Bananas can also be used to make a facial cream used for skin care. In order to do this, start by putting about a quarter of a banana in a bowl. MASH up the banana in the bowl using a fork. Crack an egg white into a second bowl, and beat it until it becomes frothy. Afterward, you should add a tablespoon or so of corn starch to the egg white, and whisk the two of them together. Add the banana to the bowl with the egg and corn starch. Mix the two together and apply it to your face, leaving it on for about half an hour.
