2. Method

Prepare the ingredients: coix seed powder, mung bean powder, water (or loofah water), mask paper, mix them in a 1:1 ratio (such as 5 grams of each). Then add appropriate amount of water depending on the mixing ratio of the materials (e.g., add 10 ml of water for 5 grams of each). Stir it evenly. After proper stirring, apply the ingredients evenly on your face, then cover it with a mask soaked in water. Leave it on for about 15-20 minutes and then wash it off with water.

3. Others

Before cooking, soak the coix seed in water for 4-6 hours, or it is better to soak it overnight, because coix seed is harder to cook than ordinary rice. When cooking porridge, first boil it over high heat and then simmer over low heat. This way the porridge will be fragrant, glutinous and especially delicious. In addition, do not pour out the soaking water when cooking (part of the nutrients are in the water), add some water and cook together. Do not add sugar too early, as adding sugar too early will extract the moisture in the coix seed and cause it to become shriveled, making it difficult to cook. So add sugar after the coix seed is cooked thoroughly.
