This mask works great for tightening your skin, leaving it feeling fresh, drying up spots and brightening your skin.
All you have to do, is grab an egg from your fridge and have an hour to spare, and you're on your way! Find out how to make this mask after the jump
What you will need:
1 egg
2 bowls
A fork
Lemon Juice
Honey
Step One
Crack the egg and separate the egg white and egg yolk into 2 bowls. Try not to get any of the yolk into the egg white, or the mask won't work the same way. Put the egg yolk to one side for the moment, as we'll be coming back to that at the end
Step Two
This step is optional, but it's great for if you have any acne. Add a few drops of lemon juice to the egg white and whisk with a fork until you can see bubbles. The citric acid in the lemon juice is great for drying out spots, and you might think it'll burn and sting, but you can't really feel anything, and it is really effective. Alternatively, you can add a few drops of tea tree oil instead of lemon.
Step Three
Cleanse and pat your face dry, then apply the egg white to your face. You can apply it with your fingers (it feels a bit slimy, but it's nothing to gross). I'd suggested leaning over a sink, because it can be a bit messy. You probably won't use all of the whites, but once it's applied, sit back and leave it for 30 minutes. You'll feel the mask slowly tightening on your face, which is a strange but pleasant feeling.
Step Four
After the 30 minutes is up, rinse off the egg whites with warm water, then pat your face dry. Now, we want to go back to the egg yolk. The egg white is going to dry and tighten your face, so we want to put some moisture back into it, and the egg yolk is the perfect way to do this. I like to add a table spoon of honey to the yolk and whisk it in. It just gives it that extra moisturising and soothing kick. Apply this mixture to your face with your fingers, and leave for 20 minutes.
Step Five
After the 20 minutes is up, rinse off the egg yolk with warm water, and pat your face dry. Your face should feel firm, silky, smooth, fresh and clean. Apply moisturiser to your face to lock that goodness in and you're done. This mask is 100% natural, so you aren't putting any chemicals into your skin, and you're getting great results.
I do this mask every night before bed, as I find my face is a lot better in the morning from it. Give it a try, what have you got to lose?
