Bananas are delicious, but did you know their peels can also be a beauty secret? Combined with simple cornstarch, banana peels can be turned into a gentle, nourishing face mask that leaves skin looking smoother, softer, and refreshed.
Some call it a “turn-back-the-clock” remedy because it helps restore a healthy glow—making you feel as fresh as you did years ago.
Why Banana Peel and Cornstarch?
- Banana Peel: Rich in antioxidants, vitamin C, and potassium, banana peels help reduce dullness, hydrate the skin, and may soften fine lines.
- Cornstarch: Known for its soothing, oil-absorbing properties, cornstarch helps mattify the skin, tighten pores, and leave the face feeling silky smooth.
Together, they create a mask that’s simple, natural, and effective for everyday skincare.
