It is generally not recommended to apply masoor dal (red lentils) on your face overnight.
While masoor dal is a popular ingredient in many DIY face masks due to its potential benefits for skin, leaving it on your face overnight could lead to irritation, dryness, or even allergic reactions.
Masoor dal is a natural exfoliant, and prolonged contact with the skin could cause excessive exfoliation.
Moreover, some people may be sensitive to the ingredients in masoor dal, even when applied for a shorter duration.
It is always best to test a small amount of any new skincare product on a small area of your skin before applying it to your entire face. If you experience any adverse reactions, discontinue use immediately.
For best results, use masoor dal as a face mask for a shorter duration, typically 15-20 minutes, and rinse it off thoroughly with lukewarm water.
