Willing Wednesday...DIY Egg White Mask
3:00 AM
Life is always so much fun when you are willing to learn something new. Well yesterday I came across a DIY Beauty Blogger Farah. One mask in particular caught my attention, could also be that I actually had the ingredients at home. This particular mask claims to shrink pores, tighten skin, to lessen redness, and make the skin glow. Well that had my attention. In to the mad lab
I mean the kitchen I went. So here is a little tutorial, be sure to read the captions.
Ingredients:
1 Egg white
1 Tbsp of granulated sugar
1 Bowl (in the photo you we see metal and then I switched to glass, do not use metal)
Whisk (Seriously just use a hand mixer with a whisk, or it will take forever)
Separate egg white, make sure not to get any yolk or it won't work
Notice the metal bowl ...do not copy...use a glass bowl and a hand mixer with a wire whisk
It should be well beaten that it will look like meringue. Form peaks.
Rub all over your face, leave on for 25 mintues
Moisten and rub into skin
Wash off
Brace yourself, this is a rarity I usually never allow a photo of my bare face but I wanted to be honest with you. I loved this mask. I felt my skin a bit more tight. I think it looks brighter. I would absolutely do this again as a weekly mask.
Here are the benefits that Farah explained for the ingredients
natural exfoliant (alpha hydroxy acids) -natural humectant = juices your skin up with moisture and traps it in
EGG WHITES: high in protein so they help heal the skin and kill acne
-helps wrinkles and make the skin appear firmer/tighter
-the protein is a natural astringent so it tones your face and soaks up any excess oil and its a “preservative” -contain an enzyme called Lysozyme that helps to tighten and shrink pores -helps with skin elasticity
All I can say is I am a believer!

Because I have very oily skin, I have used egg whites and tomatoes as a mask. Also, very refreshing. Thank you for posting.
