Among various fruits, banana is the favorite of Do Thi Ha. The Miss Vietnam 2020 revealed that bananas are always available in her refrigerator. Every morning, she usually blends bananas with fresh milk, whey powder, and other fruits to make a delicious and filling smoothie that keeps her full until lunch without needing any snacks. According to Ha, bananas are not only tasty but also highly beneficial for health, as they are rich in vitamins C and E, along with minerals like potassium, zinc, and iron, which promote healthy skin, maintain a slim figure, and boost energy effectively.

Not only is banana beloved by Do Thi Ha, but it is also a familiar beauty “weapon” for many other Vietnamese beauties, including Chi Pu – one of the most prominent A-list celebrities in the Vietnamese entertainment industry. While her talent may still be a subject of debate, her beauty and figure are undeniable. From her striking facial features to her flawless body, Chi Pu always presents herself impeccably, exuding sophistication, sensuality, and allure.
In recent years, Chi Pu has become even more stunning as she embraces a mature and captivating style.
Behind this captivating beauty is a dedicated fitness routine and a healthy diet. In addition to burning energy through dance practices, Chi Pu also incorporates gym workouts, running, yoga, and boxing to maintain her figure and physical strength.
Notably, the singer has a simple yet effective weight loss tip: eating bananas in the afternoon instead of snacks. According to Medical News Today, bananas are rich in fiber, creating a sense of fullness and reducing unnecessary food intake.

On the other hand, actress Lan Phuong has a unique way of using bananas: hair care. She once shared on television that, in addition to using fruits like oranges, grapefruits, lemons, and guavas for skincare and hair care, she particularly loves using ripe bananas. “This method might be a bit messy because ripe bananas are soft and mushy. But mashing a banana and applying it to your hair and scalp can help reduce hair fall and promote shiny, healthy hair,” she said. Additionally, Lan Phuong also follows a folk remedy of soaking grapefruit peels overnight and using the water to wash her hair, resulting in soft and strong hair.

Banana – The Inexpensive “Wonder Fruit” for Beautiful Skin, Slim Figure, and Shiny Hair
Banana is a familiar fruit in every household, sometimes even wasted due to over-ripening or being left uneaten. Yet, surprisingly, this fruit is a natural “wonder drug” for comprehensive beauty care, from facial skin and hair to body figure. Rich in potassium, vitamins A, B, C, and E, along with essential minerals, bananas possess moisturizing, skin brightening, acne-fighting, anti-aging, and even weight loss properties.
Eating bananas can help women lose weight effectively.
Here are the amazing beauty benefits of bananas that you should know:
1. Moisturizing for supple skin
Bananas are rich in vitamins C, B6, and water – essential components for maintaining skin hydration and elasticity. Eating bananas daily not only provides nutrition but also nourishes the skin from within.
If your facial skin is dry, mash a ripe banana and apply it directly to your face for 30 minutes, then rinse with warm water. Banana masks instantly hydrate the skin, making it soft and reducing flaking and roughness.
Mash a banana, add a little rose water, apply it to your face for 30 minutes, and your skin will gradually become brighter and smoother.
2. Anti-aging
The abundance of antioxidants in bananas can protect the skin from free radicals, which cause premature aging and wrinkles. To make an anti-aging banana mask, slice a ripe banana and apply it directly to your face for 15 minutes, or mash the banana and mix it with a little rose water, leaving it on your skin for about 30 minutes before rinsing.
Regular application will result in youthful, glowing skin.
3. Reducing eye puffiness
The potassium in bananas helps reduce water retention, a common cause of eye puffiness. Simply mash a ripe banana and gently apply it to the eye area for 10 minutes, or place banana peels on your eyelids to refresh your eyes and reduce swelling.

4. Acne treatment and scar fading
Bananas possess natural antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, making them highly effective in treating various types of acne, including flesh bumps. When combined with honey and salt – two ingredients renowned for their deep cleansing and antibacterial properties – the effectiveness is further enhanced.
Instructions: Blend a ripe banana, mix it with a teaspoon of honey and a pinch of salt, apply the mixture to your face, leave it on for 25-30 minutes, and then rinse with water. This recipe not only treats acne but also helps fade acne scars.
5. Safe weight loss aid
Bananas are high in fiber, which slows digestion and creates a sense of fullness, reducing the urge to eat. They are an ideal choice for snacks, especially during lunch or dinner, when you need to control your portions while maintaining energy levels.
Unlike calorie-laden snacks, bananas are both healthy and energizing, ensuring you don’t feel famished during your weight loss journey.
6. Softening and smoothing hair
Bananas contain natural oils, carbohydrates, potassium, and vitamins – essential nutrients for hair health. They nourish the hair, making it strong, soft, and shiny, while also preventing hair loss and split ends.
Instructions: Mash a ripe banana, mix it with a teaspoon of olive oil, apply the mixture to your hair, leave it on for 15 minutes, and then shampoo as usual. After a few applications, you will notice a significant difference: your hair will be shinier, easier to comb, and less dry and frizzy.
