Want to have healthy glowing skin without paying for expensive face products? Just go to your fridge and pull out an egg. This is particularly good for oily skin. Using this facial on oily skin, you'll noticed an immediate reduction in oils. The egg white draws the oils out, while the egg yolk moisturizes. You will want to do both parts of this one if you have oily skin. This also works very well for firming the skin.Required Things
- Two Glasses/Small Bowls
- 1 Egg
- Water
- Washcloth
- Headband (optional)
- Get two small bowls.
- Separate one egg into two bowls - white in one bowl, and yolk in the other. Optional: Add a few drops of lemon juice if you have oily skin. It will help eliminate oil. Don't try it if you have dry skin, however, as it will irritate the skin.
- Spread the egg white around your face in circular upward motions while avoiding the eyes.
- Wait 15-30 minutes. You want it to 'harden' on your face.
- Break the egg white off of your face.
- Spread yolk around face in the same manner as the egg white.
- Wait 15-30 minutes.
- Wash the egg yolk off with lukewarm water and pat dry.
- Pull your hair back and keep it away from face while doing procedure.
- Do this at night, not in the morning.
- Use only one egg.
- Use a wash cloth or your hands to rinse the egg off.
- You can also use this mask on the backs of your thighs to get rid of the appearance of cellulite.
- It may be best to use before getting in the shower, just so you can get it off better.
- I heard beating the egg white until frothy is better, so it goes on your skin more completely.
- A good idea that I was given is to hold your head over a steaming pot of water with a towel draped over your head and the pot before and after using the mask. This opens up your pores before you do the mask making it more effective and then afterwords it helps your pores close more slowly so that your skin doesn't feel stiff and akward.
- Eggs may carry salmonella bacteria. Be careful not to get raw egg in your mouth, eyes, or nose, and wash well afterward.
- This may smell a bit.
- Your facial skin will feel tight and it will be hard to move your face while the egg white and yolk dries.
