⚠️ Common Mistakes to Avoid
- ❌ Not mashing thoroughly – chunky masks won’t spread evenly
- ❌ Leaving it on too long – 20 minutes is the sweet spot
- ❌ Applying to dirty skin – always cleanse first for best results
- ❌ Using under-ripe banana or avocado – won’t mash or blend smoothly
- ❌ Applying near the eyes – oils and enzymes can irritate delicate skin
