Egg White Face Mask Recipe for Beautiful Skin !

Want to have healthy glowing skin without paying for expensive face products? Just go to your fridge and pull out an egg. By using this facial on oily skin, you'll noticed an immediate reduction in oils. The egg white draws the oils out, while the egg yolk moisturizes. You will want to do both parts of this one if you have oily skin. This also works very well for firming the skin

It is great also as for tightening and toning skin. It works wonders for greasy skin as it helps shrink large pores on the skin surface thereby reducing excess sebum. Large pores are potential breeding grounds for bacteria that cause bulbous zits and cysts. Egg white also contains an ingredient known as lysozyme, an enzyme which is potent in eradicating acne-causing bacteria by digesting their cell walls.

All you need is egg white of one egg and a few drops of fresh lemon juice and this egg mask is ready.

Egg is full of proteins and makes the skin supple and bright.

Steps

• Take the egg white in a clean bowl.
• Add lemon juice and lightly whisk.
• Lemon juice help reduce the smell of egg.
• Make sure your face is properly cleansed. Rinse your face with warm water to open up the pores.
• Using a face brush gently apply the egg on your face.
• Let it sit for 15-20 minutes until it's dry and hard.
• Wash it off with warm water. 

Warning: Eggs may carry salmonella bacteria. Be careful not to get raw egg in your mouth, eyes, or nose, and wash up well afterwards, including hands, face, sink/handles, and surfaces.
