In this article, I tell you all about the miracle effect of banana peel and I give you my recipes for face masks and all skin types. You won't ever check out bananas the same way!

The different uses of the banana peel on the face

1. Banana peel to treat acne and sun damage

1. Clean up with a gentle face wash and wipe off with a towel. With sweetness, always!
2. Cut a small square of banana peel and massage the affected area with the inner part (not the yellow side, huh!) 
3. Leave on for fifteen minutes. Then rinse.
4. For best results, repeat the operation 2 times a day
5. Apply this banana treatment for 10 days to see results.

2. Banana peel to reduce wrinkles and brighten skin 

1. Use a gentle cleanser to remove impurities and traces of makeup from your face.
2. Massage the affected area with the banana peel and leave it on for 30 minutes.
3. Rinse your face and moisturize it by applying a night anti-wrinkle cream. If you want, try an Ayurvedic face wash. I adore!

3. Banana peel to reduce dark circles and puffiness

The high antioxidant content of banana peel improves blood circulation and nourishes the very sensitive skin around the eyes.

How to use the banana peel in this case: 

1. Take a piece of banana peel and place the soft, so outer part (yes, the yellow part) on or under your eyes.
2. Close your eyes for 30 minutes and relax!
3. Remove the banana peel, rinse your face and apply a special eye contour gel

And in the banana, it's not just the banana peel that works wonders, there's also the banana! I won't leave you hungry, your skin and your face deserve the best of nature.
