Acne is a very common unpleasant condition that appears not only on the face but also on the neck, back and shoulders. This problem can be very unsightly, especially when it concerns the occurrence of a larger number of these oily spots. Many of us try to deal with them using cosmetic products, whose daily use can become quite expensive. Especially in cases when we also pay for low-quality products that do not help.
Acne? Easy help!
Commercial acne remedies mostly just dry out the skin, which in the long term further dehydrates the complexion. And the problem may therefore not be solved at all. Products that are high-quality are again unavailable to some. The first aid is therefore to turn to help from nature – for example to banana peels.
Miraculous bananas
Bananas are available in stores all year round, including in organic quality. You can enjoy the tasty fruit and then use the peels for a compost infusion to fertilize houseplants, or precisely as a treatment for acne. Such a banana peel is packed with many vitamins that you also find in quality skincare products: vitamins A, B, C and E. It also contains zinc, iron and manganese. These are all minerals with anti-inflammatory properties. The banana peel contains a fair amount of starch, which removes the skin’s greasy shine, but on the other hand does not clog pores, which is a big plus. Starch, on the contrary, cleans pores of toxins and hydrates the skin.
Banana peel for the face
After you eat the inner part of the banana, do not throw away the peel. Before using it, wash your face with your usual cosmetics. Let it rest for 10 minutes and then rub the inner part of the banana peel over it. Leave it on for 20 minutes and then wash off with warm water. You can use this peel even twice a day.
Banana peel with oatmeal
Thoroughly wash the peel from one banana on both sides. Chop it into pieces and put it into a blender together with 1 tablespoon of honey and 4 tablespoons of ground oats. Blend into a smooth mash, which you apply to a cleansed face. Use the application to massage the entire face with circular movements, this will also help its beauty. Avoid the skin around the eyes. Leave on for 10 minutes and then rinse with warm water. After this treatment it is ideal to apply a hydrating but non-greasy cream.
Banana peel with turmeric
Turmeric is also a very suitable ingredient not only for dishes but also for cosmetic preparations. It has anti-inflammatory properties, which is exactly the property you need in the fight against acne! Wash the banana peel from one banana and blend into a puree. Then take 2 tablespoons of this banana purée and mix with the same amount of turmeric. Slightly dilute with water and apply to the face. Leave on for 15 minutes and then wash off with warm water. Apply a moisturizing cream that is not greasy.
