Banana Beauty Benefits

Banana is extremely good for your hair and skin since it has natural moisturizing properties. Banana is rich in minerals and vitamins (Vitamin E, C, B and A) that help to promote healthy skin and hair recovery. It is a rich storehouse of potassium and natural oils that make banana an excellent emollient. Tryptophan is an amino acid, contained in bananas and this makes it perfect for beauty treatments.

Easy Banana Beauty Tips:

• If you want to moisturize your skin instantly, take a ripe banana and smash it. Apply the pulp on your skin and wait for fifteen to twenty minutes. Your skin will feel moisturized and soft.
• Mash a ripe banana till it becomes creamy. Apply it on your face and wait for fifteen minutes. Rinse with lukewarm water followed by cold water. Regular practice would prevent wrinkles.
• If your feet feel dry, application of banana pulp on the cracked and dry areas would help. Just wait for ten minutes after application and wash off alternately with trepid and cold water. Your feet become softer.

Banana Beauty Recipes And Applications On Skin:

• Sugar Scrub (for dry skin): Smash ripe banana and add sugar to it. Apply it on your skin and rub gently. While banana moisturizes dry skin, the sugar granules help to remove dead cells to reveal brighter skin.
• Strawberry Body Scrub: Cut a banana and a few strawberries in small pieces and place them in a bowl. Knead the pieces till the mixture becomes smooth and add two spoons of olive oil. Add three spoons of sugar. Apply it on your body and scrub gently. This exfoliant is gentle on your skin and this practice can be done once every week to get rid of dead skin cells.

  1. Krupa, I understand. But we usually post articles that we are sure about- usually makeup product reviews and some beauty articles. We hold articles that we are not sure about, mostly nail arts, and some others… so don’t be disappointed. Good articles from you are never held up. 🙂

    Also, as I said in my earlier comment, this was sent months back, earlier than yours.

  14. Hi,
    Im probably commenting on this after almost a year. But I just came across this one.
    The tips are really cool and I just had one querry. I’ve heard that ripe bananas tend to turn your hair grey. Is that true? I just wanted to be sure before I try the Banana honey mask for hair.
