10 Amazing and Interesting Beauty Uses for Banana Peels

2. Dissolves Warts

Banana peels have strong antioxidants as well as various enzymes that can help get rid of warts safely. They even help fight off the virus that caused the wart.

• Cut a piece of banana peel slightly larger than the size of your wart.
• Place the inside of the peel against the affected area.
• Secure it with tape or a bandage.
• Leave it on overnight.
• Remove the peel the next morning.
• Repeat daily for a few weeks or until you get rid of the wart.

You can also use banana peels in the same way to get rid of corns.

3. Cures Acne

Banana peels are excellent for treating pimples and acne.

The peel works as a natural exfoliating agent to remove toxins from the skin pores, which in turn treats and reduces the risk of acne. Its antioxidant power also helps fight germs that cause acne.

Plus, the anti-inflammatory properties in the peel help calm inflamed skin.

• Wash your skin with cool water, then pat dry with a clean towel. Massage the affected skin area with the inside of a banana peel for 5 minutes. Wait 20 minutes for the skin to absorb the nutrients, then rinse off with cool water. Repeat 2 or 3 times a day.
• Alternatively, spread some turmeric powder on the inside of the banana peel. Use it to gently rub the affected skin area for 5 minutes and let the mixture sit on your skin for 15 minutes. Rinse with lukewarm water, then pat dry. Repeat twice daily.
