For Acne :
cut a small piece of the peel. Rub the inside of the peel gently over the acne affected area. Rub for about 5 minutes or until the inside of the peel gets brown. Clean the skin around with lukewarm water but let the banana dry out on the affected area to do. Repeat this at least 3 times a day and the acne and pimples will subside within a week.

For Itchy & Swollen Skin :
just rub the banana peel on the effective area and you will feel the itching and swelling subside.
