There’s an anti-aging banana peel hack that’s been making rounds on social media, and many influencers such as Isabelle Lux (@isabelle.lux) are running to try it.
Apparently, rubbing an old banana peel on your face before cleansing can naturally exfoliate the skin and reduce wrinkles.
Lux often shares her favorite skincare finds with her followers, from Korean skin essence serums to tinted mineral sunscreens with SPF. In a TikTok video, the beauty lover said she would try the banana peel hack for 30 days to evaluate its effectiveness and update with the final verdict.
Before she stumbled upon the unique tip, numerous people had reported that it worked wonders for them.
In her video, Lux said: “Would you believe me if I told you that rubbing a banana peel on your face once a day before cleansing can not only reduce wrinkles but exfoliate your skin naturally at the same time?
“And no, it’s not because of the potassium as some people say.
“It’s because banana peel contains a natural enzyme which can even whiten teeth,” she explained.
Two months after her initial video, giving her followers an update, Lux posted another video singing praises of the banana peel hack which seemed to have worked wonders for her.
She said it was the best free anti-aging advice she’s ever received in her life and added that she does it every morning.
Since starting, her skin has been “so bright and so tight”. She said: “The peels contain a natural oil that is very nourishing, plus vitamin C and antioxidants. Even an enzyme that over time is peeling and basically tightening like free botox.”
People who had tried the banana peel hack out for themselves left their reviews of the fruit-centered hack in the comments section of Isabelle’s initial clip.
One viewer said their mom used to do the hack, and wrote “it’s SO good!” They added that their mom used the banana peel on the back of her hands often, and all the little sunspots she had completely disappeared.
Someone else who had used the hack several times said it was “quite good”.
An additional commenter wrote: “My sister told me about this and it’s working for her. I guess I will try it.”
And, another person who had seen success with the tip said: “I’ve been doing this for a couple times a week for two weeks and have noticed a difference! Plus it’s kind of fun to do ha ha.”
