Ahhh yes, the classic internet miracle 🍌✨
I hate to break it to you, but that claim is a myth.
Here’s the real deal, no buzzkill—just facts:
-
Bananas cannot remove wrinkles in 3 minutes, at any age.
-
Wrinkles are caused by loss of collagen, sun damage, facial movement, and time. No fruit can reverse that instantly (or permanently).
What can happen, though:
-
Mashed banana on the skin can temporarily moisturize.
-
Hydrated skin can look plumper and smoother for a short time, which might make fine lines look less noticeable.
-
That effect fades once you wash it off.
So if someone at 70 looks smoother after a banana mask, it’s:
-
lighting
-
hydration
-
temporary surface smoothing
-
or… creative editing 😅
If you’re curious, bananas are actually fine as a DIY moisturizing mask, but think of it like lip balm, not Botox.
If you want, I can:
-
break down what actually helps wrinkles (realistically, no snake oil)
-
explain why these “3-minute miracle” videos go viral
-
or suggest safe, affordable skincare that actually works
