Not only are they super rich in potassium, they’re also nearly pure forms of energy. Down one shortly before a heavy workout and you would sail through with top notch efficiency. And that’s about all you expect from the miracle fruits – bananas, until you realize that they’re key ingredients in several homemade beauty products. And here’s just a teensy few we are discussing today. 1. Scrub: Mash a banana with 1 tbsp sugar and mix well. Apply on your face gently in a circular motion. Rinse well for clean, moisturized skin. Oh, btw, the scrub would also work wonders on your hands while you’re at it! 2. Repairer: Got dry, cracked heels? Apply two mashed bananas to your heels and cover up with old socks. Wash your feet well after about 10 minutes. Apply regularly for smooth, healthy heels. Oh! And don’t forget to wash those socks! 3. Face-wash: Mix mashed banana with 1 tbsp honey and ½ tbsp. lemon juice. Use as a face pack for about 10-15 minutes and rinse well with cold water. This will help control your oily skin. 4. Shampoo: Mix 2-3 bananas with 2-3 tbsp honey. Use this paste as a pack for your hair and scalp. Massage well and wrap your hair to ensure deep absorption. Rinse well and condition your hair to get rid of dandruff as well as to cut down on frizz. 5. Remover: Rubbing banana peels on acne can help reduce them. In fact, banana peels also help to soothe minor injuries and bruises. So, if you don’t have a band aid handy, you know what to reach out for!
