Beyond the Mask: Habits for Brighter Eyes
A topical mask is only part of the equation. To amplify the effects, I paired the banana peel ritual with a few simple lifestyle tweaks:
💧 Drink Plenty of Water: Hydration supports circulation and skin elasticity, keeping your eyes looking fresh.
😴 Prioritize Sleep: Aim for 7–8 hours of quality rest to let your skin repair itself overnight.
🍓 Eat Vibrant Foods: Fruits and veggies rich in vitamin C, like berries and citrus, support collagen for firmer skin.
🧂 Cut Back on Salt: Reducing sodium helps prevent fluid retention, which can worsen puffiness.
These habits work hand-in-hand with the mask to maximize results.
How to Use Banana Peels Safely
The under-eye area is delicate, so care and caution are key. Here’s how to make this hack safe and effective:
🧪 Patch Test First
Apply a small piece of banana peel to your inner arm and wait 24 hours to check for irritation before using it near your eyes.
📅 Use Moderately
Apply the mask once daily or every other day. Overdoing it won’t speed up results and could irritate sensitive skin.
🗑️ Keep It Fresh
Always use a fresh banana peel and discard leftovers to avoid bacterial growth.
🧼 Cleanse Thoroughly
Rinse your face with cool water after removing the mask to ensure no residue lingers.
If you have sensitive skin or allergies, consult a dermatologist before trying this hack.
