The Benefits of Eggs for Glowing Skin & DIY Face Masks
Nowadays, the humble egg is considered a super food, for our health and for head to toe beauty. It's versatile, simple and cheap, the total package.
Thank you, Mother Nature!
Benefits:
1- Anti-aging:
Rich in antioxidants that fight free radicals, the bad cells responsible for the aging process.
2- Skin Tightening & Elasticity:
The abundance of albumin promotes the production of collagen.
3- Moisturizing
Thanks to fatty acids with moisturizing properties, they seal the moisture in our skin.
4- Renovation
Protein promotes the renewal and reconstruction of body tissue.
5- Hair and Nail Growth
Biotin + Vitamin B complex, promote healthy hair growth and combat frail nails.
6- Soothing
Reduces skin inflammation.
7- Astringent / Cleansing
Lysozyme, an enzyme present in egg whites, helps maintain pores closed, eliminating impurities, bacteria and oily skin.
Result: smoother and healthier skin.
Let's get Started?
But...first I suggest following these steps.
1- Wash your face
2- Exfoliation (advisable, the removal of dead skin cells allows a better absorption of the mask's nutrients)
3- Apply with a brush or cotton disc, avoiding the eye area.
4- RELAX! and let it act 20-30 min.
5- Remove the masks with lukewarm water
6- Apply oil or moisturizing cream
7- All done! 🙃

* Keep in Mind:
- For the liquidy masks, fight gravity by taking a load off and relax horizontally 🛏
- Watch out for turmeric stains, they're extremely difficult to wash out. So wear old clothes and use dark towels. Also, don't stress, if after removing your face-mask, your face has a yellowish tinge to it. Just re-wash and get a cotton disc and some toner and swipe, all gone!
- To avoid allergic reactions, I advise before using any ingredient for the first time, doing a test patch on the inner side of your elbow.
- Olive oil is very fatty, the skin doesn't absorb it completely, it's best to remove any excess in order not to block your pores.
