I have been so stressed lately and my face is starting to look run down and showing my lack of sleep. This calls for a pamper night (Which is a typical Sunday night for me!) So last night I had my face mask on, painting my nails while watching pretty woman with my mum.
When it came to face masks I usually stuck to my trusty favourite "Montagne Jeunesse" face masks that you can pick up pretty much anywhere. After a while I kind of got use to them and they didn't WOW me very much anymore and was on the look out for something new. Don't get me wrong I still love them and use them from time to time but I've found my 'beauty secret'.
I was watching a reality program on TV a couple of months ago and I can't actually remember what it was for the life of me and a woman was doing an "Egg White Facial". I was totally intrigued by it and pretty disgusted at the same time, but the woman swore by it. So of course I thought "hmm this calls for some experimenting!"
Are Egg Whites Really Good For Your Face?
The answer is... HELL YES!Egg white is amazing for tightening and toning skin. It works wonders for oily skin as it helps shrink large pores on the skin surface. Large pores are potential breeding grounds for bacteria that cause spots and cysts. Egg whites contain beneficial nutrients:
Potassium - Hydrating and moisturising. Preserves moisture in skin cells.
Protein - For tissue repair and growth. Promotes strong wrinkle-free skin.
Riboflavin - Eliminates toxic and cell damaging free radicals that create wrinkles.
Magnesium - For youthful radiant skin. Slows down the ageing process of skin.
I bet you never thought eggs where so amazing huh? Me neither haha.
Everybody has eggs in there house so it's pretty great that you don't have to run out to the shops for a face mask or whenever your face needs some TLC. Not to mention is super cheap and quick. Whenever I do this facial I prefer to add some honey & some lemon juice for some added benefits for my face.
What You'll Need:
Just 1 Egg.
Some Honey.
A Lemon or alternatively lemon juice.
2 Cups or Bowls.
A fork.
Foundation brush or cotton balls,hands etc.
Directions:
1. Crack the egg & separate the yolk from the egg white and put them in separate cups/bowls.
2. Beat the egg white until frothy and add some drops of lemon juice and honey.
3. Wash your face in Warm water or Steam it to open your pores and apply the face mask.
4. Leave it to dry fully about 15 - 20 minutes and scrub off with warm water.
5. I then apply the egg yolk to my face for 5 minutes and scrub off with cold water for an intense moisturiser and to close the pores.
Results:
First things first when I tried this I was totally sceptical and wasn't expecting anything and was so shocked with how quickly it worked and how it tightened on my skin and it's overall fabulousness. I'm still shocked that my everyday eggs are so good for my skin. I absolutely now swear by this facial mask it might sound completely nuts and disgusting but it works so well. I've been using it for months now and I'm totally addicted, It might not smell like strawberries and cream or be funky colours but it's natural and so effective. I have honestly never felt my skin so soft or look more radiant than after I do and egg facial.
Really 1 little egg could do 3-4 facials 'WOW' and the benefits are amazing and you'll never need to worry about running out of face masks again. I do this every Sunday night!
All I would say is to not think of it as "eww egg on my face" because a) it doesn't smell weird at all what-so-ever and b) It just feels like a normal face mask, I pinky swear. You guys should give it a try I swear you won't be disappointed and you'll probably Thank me later!
Try it out for yourself and let me know how you get on? Or have you already tried it, whats your opinion? As always Thank You for reading!
