Case 1: When the skin is very dry, there will be some minor wounds on the surface, and the skin sensitivity will also increase. If you suddenly apply a mung bean paste mask, the skin will receive excessive nutrients and moisture, and it will easily cause a stinging sensation if it absorbs too quickly. Normally, after applying it on the face for 2-3 minutes, the tingling sensation will slowly disappear, and after applying it several times, the tingling sensation will no longer occur. Countermeasure: Increase hydration on a regular basis. Using a moisturizing spray before applying the mung bean paste mask can avoid the stinging sensation caused by dry skin.

Countermeasure: Choose mung bean paste masks carefully and choose masks supplied by regular manufacturers. Do not use if you have severe open acne on your face.

How often should you apply mung bean paste mask?

How often you apply the mung bean paste mask depends on your individual skin condition and the rate at which oil is released. People with oily faces should use it a little more frequently, but no matter what your skin type, it should not exceed 3 times a week. Give your skin time to rest and repair itself. Dry skin: once a week. For people with dry skin, who have less oil secretion, it is sufficient to use a mung bean paste mask once a week. Normal skin: 1-2 times a week. Oily skin: 2-3 times a week. Oily skin produces blackheads and waste cuticles at a faster rate. Cleaning the oil in the pores in time will help the skin absorb nutrients and moisture. The mung bean paste mask needs some time to dissolve and absorb the oil in the pores. Therefore, the mask application time can be slightly extended, but generally should not exceed 20 minutes. If you feel that the mask has become dry, it is recommended to spray a moisturizing spray on your face to prevent the mask from absorbing moisture or causing wrinkles.
