Benefits of egg white

Eggs have a lot of protein, and while that protein is great for nourishing your body, the nutrients in eggs are also great for nourishing skin as well. To reap the benefits of egg whites, separate the whites from the yolks of two eggs and then whisk the whites until they are frothy.

Smooth in upward motions on the face, applying liberally. Allow to dry for about 15 or 20 minutes and then rinse off with warm water. You may add a few teaspoons of lemon juice if you want to add a cleansing effect to your mask. You will soon see many benefits from having the egg white on your face.

Tighten pores
Egg whites contain the enzyme Lysozyme, which has been found to stop spoilage and acts as natural preservative in certain foods. This characteristic is thought to carry over into skin care, preserving the skin's natural elasticity and tightening pores.

Soak up oil
The protein content in egg whites help to absorb excess oil in the skin, leaving the face toned and fresh but not shiny. In fact, egg whites can also be applied to the face as a mild astringent.

Whitehead remover
Whiteheads are pores that are blocked with oil and other debris. Experts at Acnetalks.com suggest that regular egg white masks with a dash of lemon will help remove whiteheads, while the protein in the egg whites helps to heal and nourish skin.

Treats wrinkles
Egg whites can battle aging issues as they contain collagen. It is surprising that something as simple, accessible and natural can have anti-aging properties. They can significantly reduce fine lines under the eyes and the mouth, giving a porcelain look to your skin.

Maintains skin elasticity
These masks increase and maintain skin elasticity if applied regularly. They can be especially essential to fight aging because a loss of skin elasticity causes a natural condition of ‘elastosis’, which is a symptom of aging.

Battles acne
Acne, like whiteheads, is caused by an excess of sebum too. Egg masks can work wonders on acne and acne scars as they reduce oil clogging and make your pores smaller. However, those with sensitive or acne-prone skin have to be extra careful as egg whites also consist of vitamin A which is responsible for breakouts.

Reduces eye bags
Egg whites can reduce under-eye puffiness and dullness. Tired-looking eyes can affect your overall appearance, and egg masks help to lift your skin effectively. Always use the ring finger and gently apply the foam to your under-eye area.

Removes tan
They can significantly remove tan and improve complexion as well as balance your skin tone. Changing climate and harmful UV rays can have a grave impact on your skin and egg whites help you to handle these issues. For better effects, making a face pack by mixing raw honey and egg whites and keeping it for about 10 minutes will give you the desired results.
