Rich in antioxidants, vitamins A, B, C, and E, banana peels offer a gentle, natural solution to combat signs of aging, reduce inflammation, and promote skin renewal. Instead of tossing them in the trash, turn those golden skins into an easy, eco-friendly skincare remedy right at home. Let's dive into this DIY banana peel skincare recipe that your skin will thank you for!
Ingredients:
1 ripe banana peel (preferably organic)
1 teaspoon raw honey (optional, for extra hydration)
A few drops of rose water or aloe vera gel (optional, for soothing)
Cotton pad or clean fingers for application
Instructions:
Clean the Banana Peel
Gently rinse the banana peel under cold water to remove any dirt or pesticide residue. Pat dry.
Prepare the Peel
Cut the peel into smaller, manageable sections. Use the inside (white, soft part) for application.
Optional Mix-In Step
If desired, mix the inside of the peel with raw honey or a few drops of rose water in a small bowl for added nourishment.
Apply to Skin
Rub the inside of the peel gently over your face, focusing on areas prone to wrinkles, fine lines, or dark spots.
Let It Sit
Leave the residue on your skin for 15–20 minutes to allow absorption of nutrients.
Rinse Off
Rinse with lukewarm water and pat dry. Follow up with your favorite moisturizer.
Serving and Storage Tips:
Use freshly peeled banana skin for best results.
Store leftover peel pieces in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
