It is a must to consume at least one banana a day to gain 17% of vitamin C, 12% of potassium, and 12% of dietary fiber. However, this is not what we are going to discuss today. We have got under our sleeves many other things we can do with our bananas, and not a single one of them include eating them.
Of course, we are not going to waste good bananas, always eat the ones that look good and delicious. But the ones that are too ripe would probably end up in our trashcans, which is something we are completely against.
If you only knew the benefits a banana can provide, you will never throw it, ever in your life. We have collected for you the best, nifty ways you can use the overripe bananas, along with their peels, so prepare to be surprised!

– The high nutrition value of a banana can work perfectly as an acne treatment. Simply, put a piece of banana peel on your skin (with the white side down), and massage your face for 10 minutes. Remove the peel and don’t wash your face off for as long as you can. In fact, you will get better results if you left it overnight. Do it for several days!
– One thing everyone knows is the fact that banana hair masks are actually one of the best hair treatments out there. By mixing one overripe banana, 2 tbsp of coconut oil, and 1 ripe avocado, you will create a mask that will prevent breakage and make your hair shiny.
Simply, spread the mixture on your hair and leave it for over thirty minutes, wash with your regular shampoo, and voila!
– If you are out of body scrub, then your body is on treat because you can now spoil it with some sweet, overripe bananas. Just mix one soft banana, 2 tbsp of caster sugar, and a few drops of your favorite essential oils. However, make sure to use it immediately before the sugar dissolves.
– Do you need a foot moisturizer? Just pick up the banana you were just going to eat, take off its peels, and with the white side down, rub it on your dry skin. If needed, you can wash your feet off. The banana flesh can work perfectly as a foot mask, as well. Just mix half a banana with a few drops of honey, apply it, relax, wait ten minutes, and then wash it off.

– Polishing your shoes is not always effective when we use the usual method, and of course, we can’t always take our shoes to specialists. The best way to do it is by keeping an overripe banana at your bag to save the day. Just rub the white side of your banana peel around your shoes. However, make sure the peel is yellow, not yet brown.
