Nifty Thrifty: Keep Your Banana Peel!

7. Banana Peel Blemish Treatment

Banana peels naturally contain salicylic acid, an active ingredient in acne creams. Don’t spend a lot of money on over-the-counter acne treatments. Instead, massage the inside of a peel over the affected area for 5 minutes and allow the oils and residue to dry. This will allow the nutrients to absorb into your skin. Then wash with warm water and pat dry. Do this three times a day and within three days the pimple will be gone.
