Serving and Storage Tips:
Make Fresh Batches: This mixture is best used immediately to avoid spoilage or oxidation.
Use Small Amounts: A little goes a long way—especially for spot treatments.
Avoid Storing for Long: Banana oxidizes quickly and can turn brown or sticky, so discard any leftovers.
Clean Tools After Use: Always rinse your brush or cloth thoroughly after applying the mixture.
Variants (Other Natural Ingredients to Add):
Honey: Add for antibacterial benefits in acne-prone skin.
Baking Soda: Boosts scrubbing power when cleaning (not recommended for skin).
