Leftover skins of bananas might look ugly with their rotten appearance, but trust us; these are great for enhancing your skin’s radiance. Banana skin contains an appreciable amount of vitamins A, B and E - most vital vitamins for our skin. Vitamin E, especially, is crucial for keeping the skin moisturised and taut. Just put the banana skin in a blender, grinding it into a paste. This can be applied to the face and then rinsed off after 20 minutes.

#3. Using leftover papaya for rejuvenated skin

Papaya extracts are commonly found in over-the-counter face and body scrubs too. This proves the magical quality of papaya of improving the skin’s texture. Papaya provides an effective cleansing action. It contains a typical enzyme called papain, which is used in cosmetic skin treatments. This enzyme feeds upon the outermost, blemished and pigmented part of the skin. Regular applications of papaya leftovers are perhaps the most affordable solution to get rid of blemishes sustained from acne. This leftover also helps in rejuvenating the skin and providing it with an unmistakable glow.

Why fruity leftovers work wonder for your skin?

Enzymes are the main biological units in our cells, responsible for speeding-up many cellular activities. Their actions regulate how older cells are discarded, new ones are regenerated and how tissues nourish themselves. This is why doctors recommend eating more fruits as they work towards improving our overall health.

When applied directly to our skin, the actions of these enzymes are more concentrated on the outermost part of the skin, helping it discard the hardened cells and allowing the underlying, fresher-looking layer of skin to emerge. Many skin treatments (like Dermabrasion) have a similar effect, but they are associated with some side-effects. However, natural enzymatic activity of fruits is absolutely safe! So yay!
