Uses for banana skins

 

Get rid of acne

Rubbing your skin with a banana peel each evening and washing it off in the morning should reduce the signs of moderate acne and clear mild cases.

What you do:

About an hour before bed, take a strip of banana skin from a very-ripe, but not black, banana and rub the flesh-side over your face.

Make sure you rub the peel into the skin for a good 5-10 minutes.

Do not rinse off straight away, keep the solution on your face until bed time.

Rinse with plain water just before bed. Use a light, plain moisturiser if you need to (you probably won’t as banana makes a good moisturiser too!).

Repeat nightly until your acne clears up.

Cure your haemorrhoids

It’s a bit of a delicate operation, but rubbing a banana skin over external haemorrhoids will provide relief and help cure them.

What you do:

Remove the skin from a ripe, but not black, banana. Try to remove it from bottom to top so that you keep as much stringy-flesh attached to the banana as possible.

Scrape the flesh from the inside of the skin and mash.

Add the mashed flesh to a little petroleum jelly and apply to the affected area a few times daily.

This one had me intrigued Viv

so had to look it up and apparently

Bananas contain potassium, an ingredient commonly found in conventional shoe polish products, and the oil from the banana skin will absorb into the leather ... how cool is that ?

Did you know the Military term "spit and polish" came from cleaning shoes with literally "spit" and polish which made the shoes really shiny?

Banana skins get rid of warts!  I worked with a woman years ago and someone told her about banana skins ...(she had warts on her hands and near her eyes....)

...just place the inside (obviously) of the skin over the wart ......fix it with sticky tape or whatever ......wear it for a few nights whilst sleeping ......gone!  Warts gone! This woman was like a new person after this remedy!!!   Amazing!!!     :-)
