Ways to Use Banana Peels in Your Beauty Routine

#For acne relief

Starting off strong! Banana peels can actually help reduce inflammation in acne. They have a strong anti-inflammatory effect thanks to the exfoliating properties of bananas. What you need to do is to rub the banana peel onto the affected areas of the skin, almost like a gentle massage. Make sure to use the inside part of the peel! Do these massages three times a day for a few minutes. Also, make sure to allow the skin to absorb the nutrients in the banana peel for a few minutes. After that, rinse your face with cold water.

Using banana peels, you can also make a great face mask. It is enough to simply blend or grind the peels with a little bit of coconut or oat milk. You can also use yogurt and honey to add even more benefits to your face mask. Then simply apply the mixture on clean and dry skin. Leave it on for 20 minutes and finally rinse it off with some cold water. Make this mask 2–3 times a week for glowing, healthy, and wrinkle-free skin.
