However, there are some precautions when using mung bean paste mask. Here we need to first understand whether mung bean paste mask causes stinging on the face? Does stinging sensation when applying mung bean paste mask indicate allergy?

The stinging pain of the mung bean paste mask is abnormal. It may be due to the addition of other chemical ingredients to the mung bean paste mask, which irritates the face. If this happens, it is recommended that the patient stop using the mask. Because mung beans have the effects of clearing away heat and detoxifying, promoting diuresis and reducing swelling in traditional Chinese medicine. Therefore, when the mung bean mask is applied on the face, it will feel refreshing. After washing off the mung bean paste mask, the face will feel very refreshed and comfortable, and the skin will be very soft and smooth. If the patient washes off the mung bean paste mask and small red spots appear on the face, or even a little itchy, it is recommended that the patient stop using the mask in the future.

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 feel stinging if it absorbs too quickly. Normally, the stinging will gradually disappear after 2-3 minutes of application on the face, and after applying it several times, the stinging will no longer occur. Countermeasures: Strengthen hydration at ordinary times. Use a moisturizing spray before applying a mung bean paste mask to avoid the stinging caused by dry skin.

Case 2: People with sensitive skin who feel a strong tingling sensation accompanied by burning or itching when applying a mung bean paste mask are most likely allergic to the mask. Countermeasures: Wash off the remaining mask on your face and apply ice milk to calm your face. In addition, do an allergy test on the back of your hand before trying a new mask.

Case 3: Considering the irritating ingredients, the quality of the mung bean paste mask is not up to standard. It contains more irritating ingredients, such as alcohol. After applying it on the face, if there are minor wounds or open acne on the face, it is likely to cause a tingling sensation. Countermeasures: Choose the mung bean paste mask carefully and choose the mask supplied by a regular manufacturer. Do not use it when there are more serious open acne on the face.

How often you should apply a mung bean paste mask depends on your skin condition and the speed of oil secretion. People with oily faces should use it more frequently, but no matter what skin type you have, it should not exceed 3 times a week. Give your skin time to rest and repair itself. Dry skin: once a week. People with dry skin have less oil secretion, so they can use a mung bean paste mask once a week. Neutral skin: 1-2 times a week. Oily skin: 2-3 times a week. Blackheads and waste keratin are produced faster in oily skin. Cleaning the oil in the pores in time is more conducive to the skin's absorption of nutrients and moisture. The mung bean paste mask takes a little time to dissolve and absorb the oil in the pores. Therefore, the time for applying the mask can be slightly extended, but it should not exceed 20 minutes in general. 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.

You can wet a face towel with water, gently massage and rub your face to remove the mask. After using a cleansing mask, the skin is relatively delicate, so we should be gentle in our cleaning method. Secondly, using a face towel can just remove the mask more cleanly, and the face towel can also achieve the best cleaning effect. First, clean your face with a cleansing product, then take an appropriate amount of the mask and apply it evenly on the face, remembering to avoid areas such as the eye area and lips. Wait quietly for about thirty to forty minutes, wipe off the mask with a wet face puff or face sponge, and finally rinse it with clean water. It is recommended not to use facial cleanser at the end, just clean water. After that, you can use skin care products normally and carry out daily skin steps. The frequency of use is two or three times a week. For sensitive skin, it is recommended to test the mask behind the ears before using it to see if it is not allergic before applying it on the face.
