Have you ever heard that a banana face mask may improve your skin due to its nutritional makeup and silica content? Yes, you get it right. Bananas are not only healthy for eating but also important for your skin health.
Let’s read with us to explore more.
Benefits:
When thinking of topical uses, one of the most notable ingredients is silica, a relative of silicone. The silica in bananas can help increase collagen production, the natural proteins that help keep skin hydrated and smooth.
This fruit contains nutrients, some of which may help with skin health. These include:
- Potassium
- Vitamin B-6
- Vitamin C
- Traces of vitamin A
Wrinkles:
It’s thought that this face mask can help increase collagen via silica, thereby reducing the appearance of wrinkles.
Glowing skin:
Bananas are rich in antioxidants, which help to fight free radicals in the body. Applying antioxidants to your skin may help protect from free radical damage.
Acne:
While bananas don’t have the same pimple-fighting ingredients as tea tree oil, benzoyl peroxide, or salicylic acid, they’re thought to help acne by reducing inflammation in the skin from vitamin A. Phenolic in it may also contain antimicrobials to treat acne lesions.
Acne scars:
Proponents claim that bananas may reduce hyperpigmentation in the skin with the help of vitamins A and C. This could benefit acne scars as well as sunspots.
Sun protection:
While a face mask can’t replace your daily sunscreen, this fruit contains antioxidants that might boost your skin’s natural ability to prevent sun damage. Vitamins A, C, and E are the most notable.
Dry skin:
Some people claim it can help dry skin. This may possibly be related to their vitamin B-6 and potassium content.
Either this face mask moisturizes or treats dry skin or not but it is researched that this face mask has one of the best effects on our skin. Providing such a tremendous and instant glow to skin is not an easy job, only the best and organic can do that.
