New Delhi: Bananas are a delicious and healthy food that contains fiber, essential nutrients such as potassium, and antioxidants such as vitamin C. When eating a banana, most people discard the peel. However, you might reconsider that action based on claims that banana peels have a variety of uses like skincare, hair health, teeth whitening, first aid, household cleaning, and gardening.
Eases Puffy Eyes
The potassium in banana peels helps to rid the external salt on the skin below your eyes that causes fluid retention. As a result, this excess salt causes puffy eyes. The peels are said to be great for getting rid of under-eye circles as well.
How to Use:
Similar to how you would use cucumber slices on your eye, cut up a banana peel into pieces big enough to cover your eyes.
Leave the pieces on your eyes overnight to give you a fresh look the next morning.
Heals Cracked Feet & Dry
Bananas are a great way to restore softness and remove dead skin from your feet. The enzymes in the banana peel help remove the dead skin cells on the surface of your feet and leave soft skin behind.
How to use:
Wrap the banana peel around your feet and leave it there for about 10-15 minutes and then rinse with warm water.
Moisturizes Skin
If your skin is dry, try using banana peels to moisturize it. Banana peels contain potassium, which is said to be great for dry skin
How to Use:
Moisturize your skin by rubbing the inside of a banana peel on it gently. It’s a good idea to cut pieces of the peel to make the rubbing on the skin easier.
