Nifty Thrifty: Keep Your Banana Peel!

 

4. Whiten Your Teeth

 

 

After that delicious dessert, time to brush your teeth. Yet another way a peel could come in handy!

Bananas are a gentle but effective bleaching treatment due to their content of citric acid, manganese, magnesium, potassium, and salicylic acid. Brush your teeth like always and then rub your teeth with the inside of the peel. If you do this every day for about two minutes each time, you will start to see a marked difference! No more expensive professional whitening appointments. And most especially, no more sensitive teeth from over-the-counter whitening chemicals!
