Lutein

Bananas contain important ingredients that your body needs, especially the high potassium and magnesium content are a plus. However, banana peels also contain valuable substances that you should not simply throw away. One example: lutein. Lutein is an antioxidant, i.e. a substance that slows down or even completely stops the oxidation of other substances in the body. That’s a good thing! Lutein is known for its anti-inflammatory effect and lowering the risk of arteriosclerosis. It soothes the skin and reduces redness. Parts of dopamine, serotonin and noradrenaline have also been found in banana peel. Serotonin has a mood-enhancing effect.

Application: Skin care

Remove the skin from a ripe banana (i.e. bananas with dark spots) and cut it into slightly smaller pieces. Now wash your face with lukewarm water. Your skin should be free of oil. Now rub the inside of the banana peel pieces over your face. Ideally in circular movements. It is recommended to do this for 10 minutes to get the best result. Important: keep checking that the inside of the shell is still white. If it has turned brown or black, take a new piece.

Treatment

It is best to leave the banana peel residue on your skin for an additional 10 minutes so that the skin can absorb all the substances. Then rinse your face with lukewarm water. Repeat this treatment every day for a week. If reddening of the skin occurs during this treatment, you should give your skin a break for a few days. Incidentally, this treatment also seems to work wonders against wrinkles!

Application: Hair care

Simply place the peel of the banana in a blender and puree with a little water. Use as a hair mask.
