How to make it
Mix fine 绿豆 + 薏米 powder with a little water or green tea into a paste; apply 10–15 min, rinse. 1–2×/week for oily/heat-prone skin.
Why it works
Eating coix/mung bean also supports a "cooler", less oily complexion in TCM terms — a holistic pairing.
Classical source
Mung bean and coix powders are traditional "cooling toxin-clearing" skin ingredients in Chinese folk cosmetics.
Cautions: Patch-test; avoid on broken/irritated skin. Not for dry/sensitive types.
