Notes
Use ripe banana
: Softer bananas blend easier and apply more smoothly.
Choose full-fat milk
: It offers more nourishment and helps soothe irritation.
Mash thoroughly
: A smooth consistency prevents clumps and allows even application.
Test a patch first
: Try the mask on a small area of skin to check for any reactions.
Apply on clean skin
: Washing your face beforehand helps the mask absorb better.
