BANANAS--rich in vitamins A, B, and C, calcium, potassium, and antioxidants--are ideal for your skin and scalp. Maybe that's why babies tend to spread mashed banana all over their face. hands, and hair when it's fed to them? It looks like the little ones are onto something: "Bananas gently exfoliate, remove blemishes, and aid in natural hydration," says Manjula Jegasothy, M.D., a board-certified dermatologist and director of the _Miami Skin Institute.
