Natural solutions from banana peels to prevent mosquito bites and effectively care for the skin

Cát Tiên (T/h) |

Banana peels are not only a part that is left behind after eating but also a natural "medicine" that helps soothe mosquito bites, nourish the skin, whiten teeth and prevent aging.

The miraculous effects of banana peels

Dr. Sonali Kohli, a dermatologist at Sir HN Reliance Foundation Hospital (Mumbai, India), shared on Indian Express that banana peels contain anti-inflammatory compounds such as polysaccharides and antioxidants, which have the ability to soothe irritated skin.

The natural enzymes in banana peels can also break down proteins in mosquito saliva, thereby effectively reducing itching and swelling.

Two ways to use banana peels to treat mosquito bites

direct massage: Take the inside of the banana peel and gently massage it onto the skin bitten by a mosquito for a few minutes. This method helps to immediately relieve the itching sensation.

Make a mask: Dry the banana peel and mix with a few drops of glycerin or rose water. Apply the mixture to your skin for 1520 minutes before rinsing.

Not only treating mosquito bites, banana peels are more competent than you think

1. Natural tooth whitening

Banana peels contain potassium, magnesium and manganese, which help remove minor stains on teeth. Brushing your face with banana peel on your teeth every few minutes will help you have a bright white smile over time.

2. Moisturize and soothe dry skin

The natural oils in banana peels help moisturize, soften and nourish dry, flaky skin. This is a natural, benign skin care solution.

3. Support for treating acne

With anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties, banana peels can help reduce swelling, soothe acne and prevent acne from returning. Just apply the skin to the acne area for a few minutes a day.

4. Slow down skin aging

Antioxidants in banana peels help fight free radicals, thereby reducing wrinkle formation and improving skin elasticity.
