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.
