4 ‘Egg’cellent Ways To Have Fabulous Skin

4 ‘Egg’cellent Ways To Have Fabulous Skin

Having beautiful looking skin at all times sure is a task. With the kind of weather we have to deal with and the high pollution in cities, having healthy skin is not easy at all. Carrying a pack of wet facial cleansing wipes in your handbag is a definite must. But on the days when you find yourself at home, you can and must treat your skin right.

Home ingredients make for some amazing remedies when it comes to skincare or haircare. There are certain miracle ingredients you’ll easily find in your kitchen, and one of them is eggs. We all know that eggs are a rich source of protein, but they also contain collagen and albumin (which help to reduce inflammation and fine lines and maintain your skin’s elasticity and keep it youthful), apart from vitamins A and E, which defend your skin against free radicals and help it age slower. So from treating oily skin to reducing under-eye puffiness, read on to know more about how you can have flawless skin using eggs.

1. Treat Oily Skin

Oily skin is a hassle to deal with. It’s a sign that you need to start taking better care of your skin, STAT. To deal with this problem, separate one egg white from the yolk and apply it all over your face using a cotton ball. Egg whites help absorb excess oil. Leave it on for about 15 minutes. Once it’s dry, you can wipe it off with a warm cloth.

2. Get Rid Of Blackheads

Blackheads are tiny, but they’re a sign of unhealthy skin. Here’s an easy face pack that’ll help you get rid of them in minutes.
Add a teaspoon of lemon juice to one egg white, mix it up well and apply to your face, avoiding the eyes, nose, and mouth area. Let this face pack sit for about 15-2o minutes until you begin to feel your skin tighten. Gently peel it off and wash your face with lukewarm water.

3. Reduce Under-Eye Puffiness

More often than not, lack of sleep or an allergy can give you puffy eyes. Eggs can help fix them. All you have to do is apply an egg white under both eyes and massage the area gently using your fingertips. Rinse off after 15 minutes and pat dry with a towel.

4. Treat Dry Skin

Do you have dry and flaky skin? More so in the monsoon? This nifty hack can help. Add a tablespoon of olive oil and lemon juice to a bowl of one egg white. Whisk this up with a spoon and apply it all over your face and neck. This mask tends to dry off fairly quickly. So after every 5 minutes, make sure you repeat the process. You can rinse it off after 15 minutes for healthy-looking skin.
