Banana for Beauty

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.

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.

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.

This recipe is easy and can be stored in a travel-sized shampoo bottle in the shower. Mix 1 banana and 1/4 cup of honey. Mash until the mixture is as smooth as you want it to be and apply it to hair after shampoo.

All you have to do take a banana peel and press it against the wrinkle prone areas of your facial skin. For hair care, you can simple make paste of bananas and olive oil or any other oil of your choice. Apply this paste on your hair and wash it off after about half an hour.
