adding „please“ is never a wrong voice because it‘s nice, but „help yourself“ is informal. If you want to sound formal, i think i would say „You can take some of what you want“. It sort of depends on the circumstances though

@berillume no problem! most people probably won’t be upset if you use the expression, but technically speaking it is not really formal :)
