The common and automatic attitude after eating a banana is to throw the peel in the trash. However, there are incredible uses for this part of food that many people consider to be useless waste. Banana peels can be used as cosmetics or as a cleaning product.
The team of awesome.club shows, in this post, that banana peels have many more uses. If you were already a fan of the fruit, from now on, you will be even more so 🙂
1. Help reduce acne
Banana peels contain vitamins C and E, potassium, zinc, iron and magnesium. These nutrients can soothe inflamed skin and reduce acne.
The peels also contain lutein and carotenoids, fat-soluble compounds that will help in the process of removing all pimples.
Rub the banana peel on your skin and leave it on for 5 to 10 minutes Wash your skin Repeat the procedure 2 times a day
2. Help to reduce wrinkles
the facial wrinkles arise when the skin loses its elasticity and firmness. The antioxidants and vitamin C in banana peels can help reduce the appearance of these lines.
Rub the banana peel on your skin and leave it for 30 minutes or overnight Wash and moisturize with a special cream Repeat this procedure 3 times a week
3. Can be used to polish silver objects
When your silverware starts to dull or turn black, try using a banana peel to bring it back to its original appearance. The inside of the shell contains substances such as potassium, which help to clean metal objects.
Put the banana peels in the blender Add half a cup of water Mix until everything turns into a paste Rub the substance on your silver objects for a few minutes
4. Help remove chips and splinters under the skin
Banana peels are rich in enzymes that attract foreign objects to the surface of the skin, which will make it much easier to remove or extract them with tweezers.
Place a ripe banana peel on the affected skin area Let it sit for 15 minutes Gently peel off the peel without rubbing Remove the splinter
5. Serve as fertilizer
Add a banana peel to your compost or compost pile as this will provide the soil with more calcium, magnesium, sulfur, potassium, phosphates and sodium, elements that are very important and vital for the healthy growth of your plants.
Cut the banana peels into smaller pieces and bury them under the plant you want to fertilize, close to the roots.
6. Whiten teeth
Ripe banana peels are very rich in potassium, which can help reduce yellow stains that appear on teeth as a result of certain drinks (such as coffee and black tea) and foods (such as blueberries, raspberries, chocolate).
Brush your teeth and rinse your mouth thoroughly Rub the inside of the shell over your teeth for 2 minutes Rinse again Repeat the operation daily
7. Help to reduce scars
Banana peels have the ability to dramatically reduce skin irritation, swelling, redness and scarring as they contain esterified fatty acids, which have actually been isolated and incorporated into various lotions to lessen the appearance of these brands.
Take a banana peel and rub it on the affected area Let it sit for an hour or overnight Repeat this procedure daily
8. They help treat migraines and headaches
They evidently do not have the same effect as medicine. But they can help alleviate headaches if you have no other option at hand.
Put the banana peel in the freezer for an hour Place a line of skin or peel on your forehead and another on the back of your neck Let them rest until they recover to room temperature Repeat the procedure if you still feel a headache, applying additional cold peels.
9. They tenderize the meat
To keep your fillet moist and tender, add a ripe banana peel to the pan. In this way, you will ensure that the meat remains juicy, while in the oven, and that it is full of flavor. It works like a kind of natural aluminum foil for these foods, as it allows them to cook and, at the same time, prevents moisture from evaporating.
10. Help relieve itchy skin
Banana peels are an excellent home remedy for itchy skin. In addition to containing histamine, they are rich in nutrients such as magnesium, and vitamins C and E. Use them to relieve discomfort caused by plants or mosquito bites.
Place the banana peel on the affected area Let it sit for 10 to 15 minutes Remove and repeat this procedure if the itch persists
