Banana Peel Magic: Whiten Your Teeth in 5 Minutes
Even those born with pearly whites may notice yellowing over the years due to processed foods and drinks. Discover an intriguing tip to brighten your smile naturally.
(Photo: shutterstock)You might have heard about it before, but if you haven’t, this is a tip worth trying. Even if you were born with shiny and clean teeth, over time, they may lose their sparkle. Coffee, tea, and other indulgences can quickly turn that enamel, the thin layer covering your teeth, from white to yellow.
How can you tackle this issue? Besides thorough cleaning at your dentist or hygienist's office, there's a natural solution — banana peel. Before you roll your eyes in disbelief, give it a shot.
"The secret of the banana peel has been known for years in Indian culture, and they use it for various health treatments," explains an Indian blogger who also details its uses.
In a video, the blogger demonstrates the method: simply take a fresh banana peel and rub it on your teeth for about five minutes. Then, brush your teeth with a dry toothbrush to activate the banana's natural elements and spur them into action.
Next, lightly wet your toothbrush, repeat the process, and make sure to thoroughly rinse any remaining banana peel bits.
Do this once a day, in addition to your regular brushing routine, and continue for about two months or until you notice the desired improvement. According to the blogger, "It may take time, depending on how thick the stains on your teeth are, but this tip works, and it’s worth sticking to it."
