Egg whites can be used as a base for a liquid mixture to which a person can add other ingredients to create a face mask. Here are some steps to apply egg white on the face:
- Beat an egg white until it is stiff, when it will appear white and foamy.
- Mix in 1 teaspoon of lemon juice and 1 teaspoon of honey.
- Apply the mixture to the face and neck area, avoiding the eyes and mouth.
- Leave the mask on for 10-20 minutes or until it dries.
- Rinse the mask off with cold water and apply a moisturizer.
It is important to note that before applying egg whites to the face, a patch test should be done to ensure that there is no redness, itching, swelling, or other sign of an allergic reaction. People can mix egg whites with different ingredients to create face masks that are specific to their skin woes, such as oiliness or dry skin. However, there is little evidence to support the use of egg white face masks to improve skin health. It is also important to use eggs from a healthy source you trust, as raw eggs, especially ones from large factory farms, can have salmonella bacteria.
