Get rid of the blemishes and dark spots on your body

Swathy · February 18, 2010 · 320 Comments

Today, I would be sharing with you a very simple home remedy to get rid of blemishes and dark spots anywhere on your body. Well, that is banana peel. Yes. Eat your banana everyday to get your vitamins and proteins. And, instead of throwing the skin, use it to beautify yourself. Applying banana skin or banana to your body gives the same benefits. Its just that one you can gain from inside and one from outside.

Rub the banana peel over your body and let it stay for 5-15 minutes. Go and take a shower. Your skin would be smooth and soft. Banana nourishes and moisturizes your skin well. And, a regular usage would ensure your dark spots and blemishes are all gone. Enjoy a flawless skin. And, do not forget, banana also helps in anti-aging skin care.

        The inside. It feels great and it soaks right in. You will notice you skin feels smoother and softer. I use it on an age spot on my cheek, and it is fading.

      do not use lemon and second, the dark patches around the lips means iron and vitamin B complex deficiency so take proper diet. and, use tomato juice daily. and, use sunscreen in the day time.

    Hi,
    My skin is normal to Oily…and have few blemishes.Here you suggested to use Banana for removing darkspots and blemishes.
    But in one of your blogposts,Ansh said that oily skin should not use banana/curd packs.
    Will that make more worse.

    Reply
    • Swati Murti says

      May 7, 2012 at 11:39 AM

      yes, Ansh meant using banana pulp on the skin!!! but, banana peels wouldn’t make the skin more oily. also, yogurt was discouraged as a precautionary measure because sometimes dairy products trigger acne. if your skin is only oily and not prone to acne, you can definitely use yogurt but it will all the more better to use buttermilk instead as it has no fat!!! also, you can use tomato, potato or cucumber slices on the blemishes…they suit oily skin very well!!! hope this helps 🙂

      yes, you can use the orange paste. you can use any milk but for acne, milk is generally not recommended as it can worsen the acne so you can instead use green tea or any fruit juices.

    I’m going to try this! I have 2 spots.. One on each cheek in the same location that resulted after having my 4th child. It’s been 5 yrs & they won’t seem to go away, they are worse during the summer because of the sun. I’m 34 yrs old & have always had great skin, I hate these spots & I feel like they age me! I could totally go without makeup sometimes (working out, pool, etc) but always feel the need to try & cover up those spots! I’m going to use the banana peel.. Any other suggestions to treat this aggressively?

      actually, there is nothing which can be done for chronic dark circles because more often than not, they are hereditary. you can try applying almond oil – a drop of it on each eye and pat it gently using the ring finger pad. it really works so do try it.

      you can use it at night and kep it for 15-20 minutes and wash off. the area might be sticky which will make a mess of bed linen. doing it many times in a day is not gonna be of much help. once a day is enough. yes, apply lotion after washing it off. i would suggest nivea body lotions depending on your skin type.

      this would not really work for dark circles. use almond oil for dark circles. pat a drop of oil on the eye area every night before sleeping. and, for lips, exfoliate every day and moisturize with lip balm. you can use tomato juice on the lips.
      yes, this would work for evening the skin tone.

    HI, I used to squeeze on my face and body a lot and now I am left with a lot of spots and blemishes. I used to have a nice skin actually, a glowing one and it wasn’t like I had many acne but I infected my skin with my nails.When I was younger those blemishes would go away within a week or two, and that’s why I didn’t put much though on it. But now I am 23 and I feel like my skin is not regenerating anymore. I have a lot of marks left and my skin has started to look harsh and holes started to form. Do you think this will help me? using the banana peel?

    hi! when you made a potato slice and after used there’s still left, you can still use it on the next day or it should be freshly slice?

      it is some internal issue because of which you are getting the mark so i would suggest you to go to a doc again for treatment. banana remedy might or might not work. i can’t say. but its better to get a heath checkup done.

      yes you can use it along with those medicines. clean the skin, rub the banana peel, let it stay like that for 15-20 minutes, wash off and follow with the medication given 🙂

      also, use tomato or potato juice on the dark spots alternatively at night. for rough skin, exfoliate your skin twice/thrice a week and moisturize. if i can suggest, you can use this moisturizer for face:

      hi Alaina. may be you should start by showing it to a doctor so that they can actually tell you why it might be happening. it can be as simple as hyperpigmentation or even symptoms for more serious disease since you are saying that it has been a long time they have been there!!

      hi Anshul, you should show it to the doctor because it can be due to some nutritional deficiency in the body, especially if it has been quite long since the spots have been there on the skin.

    Can I make paste out of banana peels? Will that be equivalent to applying banana peels directly. How long can I store the paste in the refrigerator.

      Hi Kiran, I am so sorry but I have no idea about that! Never really thought about that actually. I think I would prefer to rub the banana peel only because the outer layer does nothing. It is only the enzymes in the inner layer of the skin which is useful 🙂

          Hi, please use potato juice on the dark patches. Using lemon juice everyday makes your skin sensitive And dry so please do not use it

    Hi swati
    please help me with advise that really works because i tried all i could for my face, i have pimples, black heads, holes that are caused by squeezing black heads and also dark spots. I so much desire a clean flawless face, can i blend the banana and put in a container to just apply from there each time before i bath or does it always have to be a newly peeled banana? I dont constantly eat banana so i am trying to see how i can do this. If banana does not help for all my facial problems what else should i use?

    I have tried many products for aging, blemishes and dark circles under my eyes. Within 3 days of applying Dermalmd anti aging serum I noticed the pores and blackheads on my nose were completely gone. My under eye circles were improved dramatically. This is a thin liquid so a little goes a very long way. I apply it to my cleaned face at night; it’s best to let it soak in and dry completely before applying your moisturizer. I am so impressed with dermalmd serum that 6 of my friends/co-workers have purchased in which all of them have had the same results.
