Many unnecessary banana peels are simply thrown into the trash, however, it has a number of useful properties and has a fairly wide scope - both for domestic and cosmetic purposes.
How to use a banana peel?
Shoe shine
A banana peel can be used instead of a shoe brush. Leather shoes will shine no worse than after processing with a special cream. The banana peel contains wax and natural oils that will add shine to leather shoes and protect them from moisture. Rub the shoes with the soft side of the banana skin, and then polish it with a paper towel or soft cloth.
Silver cleaning
Banana peel is not only an excellent shoe care product, but also silver. Silver jewelry tends to darken over time, especially if worn daily. To make the silver product shine again and look like new, you can prepare a special tool from banana peel. To do this, you need to crush the banana skin with a blender and add some water so that the mixture does not turn out to be too liquid. A small amount of the resulting "self-made" mixture should be put on a soft cloth and rub it with silver. After wiping the product, rinse it under water and wipe it dry with a clean soft cloth.
Plant care
With the help of a banana skin, you can give healthy shine to the leaves of ornamental plants. True, this method is relevant only for large indoor flowers, because it may take too much time and patience to process all the small leaves.
If you cut the peel from a banana into small pieces, let them dry and bury it in the ground next to the plant, then this will scare away the aphids from it. In addition, the banana peel is an excellent fertilizer due to the beneficial trace elements contained in it. This special fertilizer will appeal to peppers, tomatoes and roses.
Wrinkle remover
The banana peel perfectly nourishes and moisturizes the skin, helps get rid of acne and prevents the appearance of wrinkles. If you wipe the face with the flesh of a banana skin, then the skin will be saturated with moisture and will become smooth, delicate and velvety. After some time after such a banana procedure, a moisturizing or nourishing cream can be applied to the face.
Teeth whitening
Facial skin care is not the only way to use banana peels for cosmetic purposes. Due to its phosphorus, calcium and magnesium, banana peel can be used as a whitening agent for teeth. To achieve a visible effect, you need to wipe previously brushed teeth with the soft side of a banana peel for several months twice a day. After peeling the teeth, they should be brushed again with toothpaste.
