Green Bean Face Mask 绿豆粉面膜



Have you tried making your own face mask? I found many DIY homemade face masks online using only natural ingredients, sounds so simple and easy to make. So I have decided to try it out since my kitchen already have these ingredients.

Green Bean (mung bean) Face Mask 绿豆粉面膜
Green Bean Powder 绿豆粉 (2 tsps ) + water (few drops) *you may add in or replace water with milk / yoghurt / honey as well.

Preparation:
Slowly add in water to mix the green bean powder into paste.  Clean you face before applying the mask. Apply it over the forehead, cheek, nose, chin and neck. Avoid the eye areas. Leave it around 15 minutes. Use a warm damp cloth and gently scrub it off. Then rinse it off with lukewarm water and dry it off thoroughly with a towel.

 Benefits:
1. Exfoliating skin scrubs
2. Treat Acne/Pimples
3. Deep Cleansing  pores
4. Detoxifying
5. Firm face
6. Reduce pigmentation, freckles and flaws
7. Hydrate
8. Anti-aging

Tips:  
If your kitchen do have these ingredients, why not give it a try. Super easy and affordable. Just try to relax whenever you putting on mask, try not to talk, and lie down.

My hair loss solution

I found these 2 indian traditional hair care ingredients are very effective:

Shikakai Powder
  • Natural astringent for hair enhancing its binding properties
  • Clears dandruff
  • Cleans the dirt accumulated on the scalp
  • Natural conditioner for hair
  • Strengthens hair roots
  • Promotes luxuriant growth
Amla oil
  • Natural astringent and skin toner
  • Promote luxuriant hair
  • Controls hair loss
  • Stimulates hair roots and promote hair growth
  • Prevents scalp infection
  • Controls premature graying of hair

If you have the same problem like I do, maybe this can help you:
  1. Mixed Shikakai powder, Amla oil and water into paste.
  2. Wet the hair, put the paste onto scalp & hair. Gently massage with finger in circulation motion.
  3. Leave it for 20 minutes and rinse the hair properly.
  4. Wash hair with shampoo.
