Some examples for DIY facial mask:

It can just be used alone as a facia scrub, or for facial mask, add the mung bean powder with a liberal amount of water to get a thick paste. Make sure you use the right amount of water because too much water will make the face mask very drippy. Using clean fingertips, rub the thick face mask onto your skin in gentle circular motions. Leave it on until it dries up and rinse off with warm water first, to loosen the dried mask, and then with cold water.
