TikTok users are going bananas over the latest Gen Z skincare trend that apparently acts like "natural botox," but experts disagree. The hack involves using the inside of a banana peel and rubbing it all over your face for a few minutes, which people claim soothes, brightens and tightens skin.
Some creators are giving it a go themselves and incorporating it into their daily skincare routine to give viewers their verdict on the trend with some believing they've noticed a difference in their skin.
You don't need botox; you really don't! the fruit peel is "a winkle reducer; the riper the better!" banana peels contain 'lutein' which can brighten, hydrate and soothe your skin. Because we were interested, we decided to ask our experts on the topic, and they had this to say: "People won't get the same results as Botox simply by rubbing banana peel on their face. There’s no topical or food supplement that is going to give you the same effect Botox can when you inject it."
