Homemade Egg Mask that works

Using mask as a part of your skin care regime can be really beneficial to as it helps to nourish your skin. For oily or acne prone skin, mud or clay base masks can balance out your skin ,while for dry skin, you can use hydrating mask that consist of ingredients such as honey, oils and glycerin. As you might know, masks that are available in the market can be quite expensive. So, what I’m suggesting is that you can make your own mask right at home with ingredients that you might already have in your kitchen. One mask that I know really works and really cheap to do is by using egg. Yup, both the egg white and yolk can be used. But both is used for different purpose or in other words for different skin types.

Egg white mask
This mask is suitable for normal to oily skin type and also for acne prone skin. It helps in reducing the oil.

Pros:

• Even outs your skin tone and improves your complexion
• Tightens pores
• Reduces redness
• Minimizes pimple/acne
• Helps pimple/acne to heal faster

Cons:

• The smell is a bit unpleasant. But if you whip up the egg white until it is frothy, it will be less gross.
• It might be messy
• It dries out your skin. But don’t worry. Just make sure you apply moisturizer after cleansing your face from the mask.

Ingredients
1 eggwhite
Few drops of lemon juice (optional)

Steps:

1. Cracks open the egg and carefully separate the egg white from the yolk. Put each of them in 2 separate bowls.
2. This step is optional and recommended for oily skin. Add a few drops of lemon juice to the egg white. This helps to reduce the oil on the face and fight acne. However it is not recommended for dry skin, it might irritate them.
3. Whisk the egg white or mixture using wire whisk until it looks frothy.

7. Lastly, as a tip, apply moisturizer to your face as this mask can be drying. Also, use this mask at maximum once or twice a week as using more than that it won’t work quite as well anymore. If there is extra, you can try to apply it at area such as thighs because it is said that it also might help in reducing the cellulite appearance.
