She further adds, “Cornstarch also has benefits for the skin, as it contains protein and helps to delay the visible signs of ageing. It helps to strengthen collagen, the supportive tissues of the skin. It also contains amino acids, minerals, and Vitamin A. Cornstarch helps to absorb oil from the skin and reduces oiliness, preventing pimples and acne. In fact, it is good for acne-prone skin.”

Ingredients
- Peel of 1 Banana
- 1 tablespoon of cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon of rice
- 1/2 tablespoon of lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon of powdered milk
The Goodness Of These Ingredients
Before we get on with the method, let’s look at the reasons why you can depend on the above-mentioned ingredients for your next beauty session.
- Banana Peel is rich in antioxidants, fibre, fatty acids, and various minerals such as iron, potassium, and zinc which can help brighten your skin and reduce wrinkles. It can also help in fighting the problem of skin inflammation and can even act as a moisturizer, thereby, hydrating your skin.
- Cornstarch can work wonders, especially for people with acne-prone skin, as it absorbs excess oil from the skin pores, and helps in removing impurities from the pores, leaving you with flawless skin. It can also tighten your sagging skin.
- Further, rice works on the signs of ageing as it is extremely rich in antioxidants. It also tightens your skin pores and tones your skin while giving it a matte effect.
- Lemon juice, on the other hand, can help in decreasing inflammation and sebum (oil) that may add to the formation of acne. It can also work well on lightening age spots or acne scars and unifies skin tone.
- Milk powder works as a natural cleanser that cleanses the skin cells by removing dirt and oil while also acting as a natural bleaching agent that lightens the skin complexion. It can further help in reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles as it boosts collagen production.
