10. Remove a splinter without pain
If you’re struggling with a splinter, you can use a simple trick involving a banana peel to remove it easily. Take a small piece of banana peel, and place it with the inside (fleshy side) down on the affected area. Secure it and leave it in place for about 30 minutes. The enzymes in the banana peel help to soften the skin and draw the splinter toward the surface. After 30 minutes, you should find that the splinter can be removed more easily and with less irritation to the skin. This natural remedy is gentle and effective for dealing with pesky splinters.
