Bananas are naturally high in magnesium and potassium those with acne-prone, oily skin, and help to reduce further breakouts. Interestingly each part of the banana offers different skin benefits, for example, banana peels are anti-microbial, and the actual banana has nourishing, moisturizing, and even exfoliating properties

After having so many fruits and vegetables within skin creams for many years like cucumber coconut or pineapple the addition of bananas a few years ago has been added to the fruit salads of face treatments available.

Like some other skincare brands, this one comes from personal experience which is in part why it is such a trusted and loved brand.

OLEHENRIKSEN Skincare was born out of a young man’s perseverance to heal his own skin. His story starts in a small Danish town, where at the age of 18, he was plagued with cystic acne, forcing his normally bright personality to turn inwards.

A serendipitous meeting with a renowned holistic skincare healer inspired him to embrace the transformative power of skincare. As the acne faded away, Ole’s bright and glowing personality returned.

This became Ole’s raison d’etre, with his commitment to transformative skincare that led him to become the world’s first celebrity facialist. The “Ole Glow” became so coveted, that, in 1983, he decided to bottle his expertly crafted formulas and launch his namesake brand.

Healing, reinforcing and smoothing as well as brightening a little eye miracle in a pot containing, of all things, bananas and gold. Sounds almost delicous.
