Bananas are surprisingly effective in reducing skin inflammation. The antioxidants and potassium that are contained in the pulp and skin of bananas make them the perfect all-round remedy against persistent acne, dry skin, wrinkles and even warts.

Skin masks that include bananas moisturize and soothe the skin thanks to their large quantities of magnesium, potassium, zinc, iodine and iron.
