Banana peels - a natural beauty ingredient that has been neglected
According to dermatologist Nivedita Dadu - founder of Dadu Medical Center, banana peels have the ability to gently exfoliate, remove sebum, support acne treatment and improve dull skin. Banana peels are rich in potassium, antioxidants and moisture - factors that help the skin become soft and supple, while reducing inflammation and preventing wrinkles.
Not only beneficial for the skin, banana peels are also a powerful assistant in hair care. The natural silica content in bananas helps soften hair, promoting the production of collagen - an essential protein that helps hair become strong and plump. At the same time, bananas also have a moisturizing effect on the scalp, reducing dryness, itching and dandruff.
