For generations, women around the world have used banana peel for its skin-softening and anti-aging benefits. When combined with cornstarch, it creates a gentle, natural mask that can help smooth fine lines, hydrate deeply, and leave your skin glowing — without expensive creams or chemicals.
🌿 Why This Works
🍌 Banana Peel
- Rich in antioxidants (lutein, vitamin C) that fight free radicals
- Contains natural oils that hydrate and soften skin
- Gentle enzymes help brighten and even skin tone
🌽 Cornstarch
- Creates a smooth mask texture that helps ingredients absorb
- Gives skin a soft, velvety finish
- Gently tightens the skin for an instant lifting effect
