How To Use
To get rid of dryness you can make a facial mask by mixing a mashed banana with a cup of ground oatmeal and adding some lukewarm milk. Stir it properly to make it smooth and apply it all over your face for 10-15 minutes.
Rinse off with cold water. This will help in replenishing the skin moisture, keeping it soft and hydrated.
