Rich in vitamins A, B, C, and E, potassium, and natural oils, bananas help to moisturize, nourish, and protect both skin and hair. For the skin, they can soothe dryness, fight signs of aging, and improve complexion. For hair, they strengthen strands, reduce breakage, tame frizz, and promote a healthy shine.
