6. Zap Warts and Acne

Banana peels have been used as a folk remedy for skin ailments for generations, and modern fans swear by their effectiveness for clearing up blemishes. The peel contains antioxidants and lutein, which can help reduce inflammation and oxidative stress on the skin. For acne, rubbing the peel on a breakout can help dry out the pimple and reduce redness without the harsh peeling caused by salicylic acid.

The enzymes in the peel are thought to gradually soften and dissolve the wart over several weeks of consistent application. While it requires patience, it is a painless alternative to freezing or chemical treatments that can be quite uncomfortable.
