Natural Skin Care: Mung Bean Facial


Category Recipes | 7 Comment »

mung beansI’m going to give you a great recipe for a facial. If you have acne scarring, hyperpigmentation, or just need to exfoliate in a major way, this is your lucky day. This facial is for long term use. You should see results immediately, but will see better results over a period of time.

Do you know what mung beans are? They’re a staple in Asian cooking—used in everything from soups to deserts. Today we’re going to use them for a facial. I got this recipe from someone who had an allergic reaction to food. Her face broke out badly and she was left with some scarring. She has used the formula for a year and her skin is perfectly clear.

1. With a blender, make a fine powder of mung beans and put aside.

2. Dampen a face cloth in warm tea such as sage or warm water with a few drops of essential oils such as lavender or rose. Then lay the cloth over your face for 10-15 minutes to loosen dirt, oil, and debris on your skin.

3. Scoop some of the mung bean powder in your hand and scrub it on whichever part you want to exfoliate.

4. Wash off after 3 minutes of scrubbing.

    Does this get rid of those little red marks left after acne as well? My face is recovering from what I think is emotional acne after a breakup and after the pimple goes away the little red marks stay for AGES, months even. I’d love to be able to get rid of them faster.

    Frances-
    The person I got the recipe from swears by it. Everyone is different, but the mung beans are so cheap it’s worth a try.

    Great idea about the mung beans. It makes me wonder what other dry beans could be used to exfoliate.

    john,
    try using 100% pure virgin olive oil as a face wash. just a bit goes a long way and it should cure your dry skin prob instantly.

    Anyone know what it is about mung beans that gets rid of scars? what properties etc?
