Banana contains many beneficial minerals and antioxidants, including potassium and magnesium that can help naturally restore the condition of your skin.  Potassium has proven to be extremely effective for treating a range of skin conditions such as warts, psoriasis, acne, and can also help relieve itching, irritation and swelling from mosquito bites and allergies.
