5. Soothes the itchy insect bites
As warmer weather arrives, so does an increase in bugs, insects, and mosquitoes. If you’re looking for a natural remedy to soothe insect bites, banana peels can be quite effective. Simply rub the inside of a banana peel on the red, inflamed areas. The polysaccharides in the banana peel help to penetrate the skin and reduce swelling, offering relief from the irritation.
