Why banana peels?
Bananas aren’t just a nutritious snack, they’re also rich in nutrients that benefit the skin. The peel, often discarded, contains many of the same compounds found in the fruit itself, including:
Potassium
Antioxidants (like lutein and vitamin C)
Natural sugars and moisture
A small amount of salicylic acid-like compounds
Traditionally, banana peels have been used to soothe insect bites, smooth skin, and even calm minor skin irritations. But when it comes to the delicate under-eye area, many wonder: is it really effective at reducing puffiness and dark circles?
