Do you or your teenage kids have spotty skin, acne or are you left with those horrible acne scars?
As a teenager I had an awful time with my horrible skin… and I really hope none of my children will inherit it. Because it was only awful to be a teenager surrounded by other teenagers, when the focal point of your life is YOU and how YOU look! Some of you might know what I’m talking about. I have tried every single cream, wash, lotion and potion I could find. Some of which were actually harmful and could cause miscarriages if you were pregnant, but didn’t even state this on the pack.
Anyway… here is something you can try. It’s easy! It’s cheap! It’s natural! Without any side effects…. can you guess what it is?
BANANA SKINS!!! YES, it’s THAT simple!
So this is what you do:
Eat a banana… yummy… the riper the better! (ok, well this is optional 😉 )
By eating the banana you do sooo many good things for your body, like lowering your blood pressure, improving your mood, making you more alert before exams and so so many more things.
Now you take the skin and cut off a little piece like so:
Rub the inside of the banana skin onto your problem area until the skin turns brown… you can cut off another piece if this wasn’t enough and do it again.
Leave this on your face for a good 5 mins until your skin is totally dry. Then wash your face with warm water.
Ideally you should repeat this 3 times a day. You can even leave it on overnight and wash off in the morning. If you do this 3 times a day you should see an improvement after the first day but after about 5 days your skin should have cleared up a good bit.
For me it took a little longer as I could only do it twice a day. This should also improve any old acne scars you may have.
Now you don’t have to eat 3 bananas a day of course, I personally make my kids eat one a day 😛
It would be best to use organic bananas, but even those can be got fairly cheap in Aldi for €1.69 for a bunch.
I wasn’t brave enough to put up a picture of myself 😀
Should you or your kids try this, do let me know how it worked for you!?
You can also use banana skin on your leather shoes or purse and give them a quick polish with a cloth afterwards or on bug bites to relieve itching. You see it’s all there… right in front of us…. nature has provided a cure for everything. We just have to find it!!
