A Special Touch of Mung Bean To Our Exhausted Skin

As wearing masks became a part of our daily routine recently, skincare and cleansing has become more and more important. It is scientifically proven that when people wear masks, the skin can’t breathe, and it is even worse if there’s makeup covering the skin. So, today, I would like to introduce this beplain Greenful pH Balanced Cleansing Foam that helps keep the skin clean while being gentle on the skin.
The main ingredient, mung bean extract, fits well with the beplain brand image. In the past, mung beans have actually been used for cleansing by crushing the mung beans and mixing them with water. Accordingly, mung beans have long been loved by people and are proven to have a calming effect on the skin when applied. The beplain Greenful pH Balanced Cleansing Foam contains 33% of the mung bean extract, and so has excellent cleansing properties as well as comfortable texture from the grains.
The first impression I got right after receiving this cleansing foam is the outer appearance; I first thought it was toothpaste. As the product was not too big and really had a toothpaste-like appearance, I thought it would be easy to carry around anywhere. Consequently, the more I used the product, the easier it was to check how much of it was remaining, thanks to its packaging.
Coming from the ingredients, the cleansing foam had a pastel-green color, and I was able to feel the grainy texture of the mung bean extract within the foam. I was quite worried as it is a low pH-balanced product, it won’t bubble up easily. However, despite the fact the product being eco-friendly, the product bubbled up easily, and the whole process of cleansing was actually very satisfying. It wasn’t like the typical chemical-based beauty products; it nearly had no scent, assuring the product really was produced with mild ingredients.

My favorite part about this product is that the product didn’t leave the skin dehydrated. As I have very dry skin, I’m prone to any kind of product that leaves my skin dry. As most of the cleanser products I’ve used so far left my skin dry, I was worried to use this product. Surprisingly, this product actually didn’t leave a tight feeling on my skin after it was rinsed with water. Overall, I am very satisfied with this product and would recommend it to people who have the same skincare concerns as me.
