DIY Egg white face mask

As people age their skin may gradually lose its natural firmness and freshness.

Changes in weather and a lack of moisture can also make the skin look dry and cause fine lines to become more noticeable.

Many people prefer simple home remedies instead of expensive beauty products. An egg white face mask is one traditional skincare option that some people use to make their skin feel temporarily tighter. However there is limited scientific evidence that it can reduce wrinkles.

Ingredients for the homemade face mask

You will need the following ingredients to prepare this homemade mask.

•One egg white

•Half a teaspoon of sugar

•Oil from one vitamin E capsule

How to prepare the egg white mask

First, separate the egg white from the yolk and place it in a clean bowl. Add the sugar and vitamin E oil. Beat the mixture with a fork until it becomes light and foamy.

How to apply the face mask

Apply a thin layer of the mixture to your face, avoiding the eyes and mouth. Leave it on briefly then wash it off with lukewarm water.

Is an egg white mask safe for your skin?

Raw eggs can contain harmful bacteria, so applying them to the face carries a risk of contamination especially if the mixture enters the eyes or mouth.

Egg white may also cause an allergic reaction in some people.

Sugar can irritate sensitive skin, while vitamin E oil may cause irritation in some individuals.

This mask is not a proven treatment for wrinkles or ageing.
