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.

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.
Swati Murti says
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 🙂

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?

Swati Murti says
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.

use only one thing and use them alternatively. use one remedy each night 😀 if you are working or anything, you can apply the banana peel at night as well. its not mandatory that you need to apply it only in the morning. rest you can use anything anytime, just make sure you use the citrusy elements in the night.

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?
Swati Murti says
i would suggest you to take a fresh piece everyday and discard the previous piece…its unhygienic.

Hi swati, I have a serious issue, I am having a scsr like mark on my inner thighs and its kind of black, i consulted a doctor 2yrs back and he said its due to liver problem and a cream and a medicine he gave made it ok within 20 days but today I noticed it coming again on my both the inner thighs and it seems more growing and covering a bigger area this time, will the banana remedy work on it, please help me I am too worried… i am 18yrs and white skin so it is looking too bad, please help….
Swati Murti says
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.

Swati Murti says
i would suggest you to apply egg white n your face everyday. it helps with minimizing the pore size temporarily and dark spots both! also banana peel works for dark spots!

Do give it a try. May be it will help you. I would also suggest visit a dermatologist once to know what is the reasoned these spots.
Yes, use it an hour before taking bath so that it gets adequate time to act on the spots. Also I can use papaya or pineapple juice on the spots.

yes, it will definitely work but if you want faster results i would say use lemon juice but don’t overuse it. its too drying for skin. you can also use tomato juice.

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:

Celina Hardin says
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.
