Ingredients
- 1 ripe banana peel (the inside part, clean and fresh)
- Optional: 1 teaspoon honey (for extra moisture)
- Optional: few drops of lemon juice (for brightening)
Instructions
- Clean Your Face:
Wash your face with a gentle cleanser and pat dry. - Prepare the Banana Peel:
Take a ripe banana peel and cut a piece roughly the size of your face area to treat. - Apply the Peel:
Rub the inside of the banana peel gently all over your face, focusing especially on wrinkle-prone areas like around the eyes, forehead, and mouth. - Let It Sit:
Allow the banana peel residue to remain on your skin for 15-20 minutes. This allows the antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals in the peel to absorb. - Optional Nourishing Boost:
If desired, you can mix honey and lemon juice and gently apply on top of the banana peel rubbed skin for added hydration and glow. - Rinse Off:
Wash your face with lukewarm water and pat dry. - Repeat Regularly:
For best results, use this banana peel treatment daily or every other day.
Why It Works:
Banana peels are rich in antioxidants, potassium, vitamins C and E — all of which help hydrate the skin, reduce inflammation, and encourage skin cell renewal, potentially reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
