TIPS:
1. Check sell-by dates carefully
If you wouldn’t eat it, it’s probably not a good idea to rub it on your face!
2. Do a patch test first
Just like trying out a new hair dye, it pays to do a quick patch test to see how your skin will react.
3. Use the mask on the day you make it
Ingredients exposed to air and bacteria will very quickly go off and could easily irritate the skin. To be on the safe side, make your mask with fresh ingredients and use it within an hour of mixing.
