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.
