Even if you don’t eat eggs, this information is still worth reading. As many of you already know, skin loses elasticity and firmness partly due to the breakdown of collagen. However, the body can absorb almost 100% of egg whites and they also have a complete amino acid profile. Does this sound good to you?
So why not use them on your face?
In one of my previous video blog posts, I showed you how to use the eggshell membrane on your skin to minimize scarring, fine lines and dark spots. In this video, I will show you one more step to make your skin soft, smooth and eliminate wrinkles and dark spots easily and naturally.
Egg whites are best used when fresh. Simply crack an egg, gently separate the egg yolk and egg white. If you do not have time, you can save the egg white in the fridge and use it when you are ready. By gently rubbing egg white on our clean face and washing it off with cold water, you will see and feel the instant changes on your face.
You can do this egg white face wash followed by the eggshell membrane treatment; you will get the double benefits and also not waste the egg (you still have the yolk)!
Tips:
*Do not try if you are allergic to eggs! If you are not sure, try a patch test by putting a small amount of egg white on your inner arm and leave it there for 24 hours. If there is no reaction, you are good to go.
*When you wash off the egg white from your face, do not use hot/warm water. You do not want to “cook” the egg white on your face or in your pores. Use cold water instead.
*Make sure to do this treatment on your clean face without make up and/or sun screen.
Hello Fumiko,
I’d like to know if you mosturize your face after washing off the white egg? Thanks!
Hi! Yes you can! 🙂 This also depends on your routine, what feels good for your skin, and what time of day you are applying the egg mask. For example, Fumiko cleanses her face thoroughly at night. In the morning she follows up with the 100 Times Face Splash, applies the egg mask as she makes breakfast, rinses it and applies moisturizer! 🙂 If you are applying the mask midday and feel your skin doesn’t need the added moisture, you can wait until your evening routine to apply it then! 🙂 Don’t be afraid to listen to your skin and notice what feels best.
One of my favorite essential oils to use in a mist is sandalwood – it’s known for soothing and nourishing the skin.
How much of what ingredients do you use to make this spray?
Hi Crystal, I use 1/2 cup distilled water, 2 tsp vegetable glycerin and 30 drops of essential oil.
What if you don’t have vegetable glycerin?
I have been able to find most of the ingredients except for Rose Otto essential oil . Can you use any of the other essential rose oils instead for golden combo? Also does it have to be a glass bottle?
I really like all your tips but I have a one question where do you buying all the ingredients in big pecked please let me know thanks and I’m waiting for more tips thank you
