What to add to Chinese herbal powder for external application

External application of Chinese medicine powder is a common treatment method, especially for some skin diseases, and it has a good therapeutic effect on some skin pigmentations. When using Chinese medicine powder for external application, adding honey or eggs are both good choices. This will make it easier for the Chinese medicine powder to be applied to the skin without affecting the therapeutic effect of the medicine. Let's take a look at this aspect.

What to add to the external application of Chinese medicine powder

1. Prepare each medicinal material according to the proportion, grind them into powder separately and then mix them evenly together.

2. Take a raw egg and use a knife to knock a small hole at one end of the egg to facilitate the flow of the egg white.

3. Take a certain amount of facial mask powder and put it in the facial mask bowl. Then slowly pour the egg white into the facial mask bowl and mix evenly.

4Mix the mask evenly until it is in the best condition when it can be scooped up with a mask stick and drips down in thread-like form.

5. First, apply the prepared mask to the skin behind the ear. After about 5 minutes, if there is no itching, erythema or other symptoms, it means that the skin is not allergic to it. Then wash your face with warm water, and apply the prepared mask slowly to your face using a mask stick, avoiding the eyes, mouth, and nose.

6. When applying the mask for the first two times, you will feel a slight tingling sensation in the first 5 minutes or so. This is normal because the skin has not yet adapted to the mask. If the tingling persists and worsens, you should immediately wash it off with clean water. The mask should be applied for 15 to 20 minutes, no more than 20 minutes, to prevent the mask from drying and absorbing moisture from the skin, thus causing redness of the face.

7. After 15 to 20 minutes, use a mask stick to scrape off the mask on your face, and then wash it off with clean water. If you have moisturizing water, you can spray an appropriate amount of moisturizing water on your face.
