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.
i heard of this apparently banana peel also help skin tag…not sure if that is true…nice blog..i just saw it a couple mins ago…
I have a dumb question. Which side of the banana peel do you rub on the skin? New at this….
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.
Great to know that 🙂
How long does this take for results to show for age spots?
inner one 🙂
mam i am suffring from liken pannas ..bt my deases has finished bt in body have mani spots so if i will use banana regulary so will i perfect ..hmmm
Well also try lemon juice on your body..Apply gently and for best results apply overnight.
lemon juice should not be used daily as it is very drying!
I am curious about using the potato is it is used in a raw or cooked state?
hey, do i use the rip banana or the green one?
The riper the better.
for banana, it is the ripe banana.
for potato, raw potato slices!
what about for kids, should they use lemon juice ?
no.
i ve dark spots on my forehead….wanna get rid of it as soon as possible….ve any solution for it?
yes, try out the banana peel on them.
I am 13 years old and I use the lemon method on my dark upper lip it doesn’t have an effect on me.
I have dark spots on my below the belt area will the banana peel work for that?
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.
yes, banana peel might work out!!
I want to try it..my skin is bad..am very dark and if I just breach it. I can have marks all over my body. More expcially my feet. So I have to try banana peals.
I have curently use the bannana peel for just 3 weaks and my skin is clear , smooth and a lil lighter and I think amm glowing. 🙂 perfect treatment. It actualy works more afective than how lemon destroyes ur skin..
oh woww 🙂 yes, it is really awesome and not at all acidic also like lemons so doesn’t harm the skin!!!
Questions do I wash my face first before I put the banana peel on and what can I put on my face after I wash the banana peel off?

it will take time depending on the texture and condition of your skin!!! it can show some difference in a week also but it is advisable to continue the treatment regularly for a month 🙂

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.
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 am using an acne free 3 step kit. At morning and night. Is it good to make a orange face paste with milk daily in the evening ? Which milks are good to use?
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.
how to use that banana peel on face.
rub it on your face as you would on the body!!!
rub the banana but to use it shud i rub the rub the outer part or the inner part?
inner part 🙂

great and thanks for this feedback 🙂
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?
ya, sure. you can also check this:

I have black spots and black area on my face, can I use banana peel and how long does it take to get rid of its.
yup, you can use it 🙂 it will take a month to show results 🙂
Swati i have black spots on my arms from bed bug bites will the banana help?
yes, they will help, definitely 🙂
very educative, really. Will try one the banana peel.
lemme know how it goes 🙂
I am assuming this would also work on my bottom? My bottom cheeks are the only place on my body I have blemishes.. I just threw out 3 banana peels this morning after I made banana bread muffins.. Now I’m mad! Lol
well, may be!!
And does it matter how ripe the banana is?
nope.
Will it work for old dark spots and blemishes from where acne has been previously?
i guess so coz it works on all kinds of blemishes n spots.
Will it work for dark injury spots on legs?
yes it does 🙂
I have black spots on my back from acne. I am currently using the Neutrogena Salicylic Acid body wash and Oxy Acne pads to keep the acne from reoccurring. I am getting married this year and I would really love if I could get rid of the dark spots. Please help me. I should also mention that I am of darker Indian skin.
hi Ashti…use potato slices and banana peels on the spots alternately daily and you will definitely see improvement in a week 🙂
hi, question abt potato slices – is it raw ones and the tomato – actual tomato or juice in a carton?
yes the raw potato slices and actual tomato.
II want to removed dark spots off my skin. Which side of the banana should I use. And is it a ripe or green banana.
inside side of the peel…yellow banana is fine…donno if the green one works in same way!
I have chronic dark circles under my eyes, what can i do about this?
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.
I am currently using the banana peel method, i was wondering if its best to apply it overnight and washing it off in the morning or a couplle times a day and i wash it off right after? Also i was wondering when is it best to apply lotion after washing it off & since i have oily skin, what is the best lotion to use?
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.
I broke out one day wen i look my hole body had black spot it make me look n feel nasty i made a banana lime n tomato paste will dis help n how many times a day do u use it help me get my pretty skin bac i never had dis happen b4 can u help me

Hi Im afrian american and have facial dark spots I’ve been using oatmeal soap & lemon juice on my face will this make my problem better or worser??????
do not use lemon everyday on skin. it is very harsh. use banana peel or potato or tomatoes instead.

well, being impatient doesn’t help coz sometimes it might take time to show results! but, yes, it will definitely help. do it every night after cleansing the face. you should be able to difference some difference within a week or two.
hi all, 2 ?s: is it raw potato slices and is it actual tomato or the juice in a carton??

hrey ive read all the above posts and was wondering how long does it take to show effect of a normal brown skin.
ive got dark circles as well as dark area around my lips..
i know i cant do much about dark circles but i want an even skin tone for the face.
help out please.
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?
yes it will help for sure 🙂
My facehas a lot of oil and blemishes. I need them gone quick because i have a preformance in less then a week will this help? Also my face breaks out to certain things its very sensitive and with my allergies i just don’t know. I don’t think i’m allergic to bananas i’ve never had one. please what do you think?
use only the banana peel not the banana and using it externally on skin will not cause any issues so don’t worry and go ahead 🙂

Hi. I read about your Banana peel thing and i feel it will work. Just one question, do i have to leave it overnight or should I wash it after sometime.
Also, I have dry, dull skin. I was fair, but my complexion went down. What should I use?
Thanks a ton! 😀
leave it till the juice or extract on the skin dries off. it will take around 10-15 min. it will help for complexion also. and, you can also check out this post:

Kudos to u, which type of banana, is it the ones we eat or the ones for plantain. Pls reply
the yellow bananas.
can I apply banana peel in the morning and potato juice/slice at night daily or should I be using one thing at a time. Also I want to use the orange peel too which u have mentioned should be used only at night. how do I alternate betweeen all the options as I want to use all the things for a faster result.
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.
can I use banana peel in the morning and potato slice/juice at night simultaneously. Also, if I want to use the orange peel too should I avoid using potato juice that night. Please advise how to use all three things for best results or if I should use one thing at a time.would really appreciate to hear from u at the earliest.
does it work on dark armpits too
yes it does!!

Hey shalu
Yes you can apply banana peel safely. It does Give good results 🙂

Hey try using banana peel remedy and alternatively you can use tomato or potato juice on the spots. Exfoliate twice a week and moisturize regularly.

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.

Hi Swati, tanx 4 d info!! Wanna know if d banana peel will help remove d spot on my forehead? (am not a Muslim)
Hey. I have no idea why you mentioned about your religion but I am assuming you said that because of the caps which they wear! Yes, banana peel will definitely help remove the mark. Also please be patient!
I am an African American 15yr female I start school on the 9th of next month. I have black spots and pimples all over , my forehead , chin, jawline,back,shoulders, and arms . will this banana idea work in time for school? my skin has even gotten darker because of the pimples and dark spots , will it become lighter if I do this .do I use the whole peal ????? PLEASE HELP. !!!!
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.
hi Swati, my name is Kelly. i wish to know how to use the banana peel. is it that i scrub the inside of the peel and apply on my body or i just use rub like that on my body?
the inside of the peel should be rubbed on the dark spots or dry patches on the body. no, just rub the peel.

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!!
I have some dark patches on my
bumwhat can i use? can banana peel work?you might try it out!!

and
I have some cut marks too is it possible to remove them???
help me please
hi Priyanka. what exactly you mean by “them”?
I have allergy of lemon chicken cocambaer egg cabbage talcum deo and almonds….
okay, so you can use potato and tomato slices 🙂
I have dark spots on my neck and back side and i used banana for a month but no results.. is there any other solution?
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 🙂
Heyya!
I have someting black colour types darks on my skin from past 1&half year….. its look very ugly…. i used lemon and turmeric powder paste every night for two weeks….. and results were better but they come again dont know why they come again… do u have any solution?

Hi swati

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?

hi Namesh. please apply sunscreen.
I had suffered from chicken pox and the spots are still in my body what should I do to get rid from it soon.
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.
