Egg White Face Masks [7 DIY Recipes For Stunning Skin] (2024)

The natural ingredients to help you look youthful may be as close as your pantry.

Homemade egg white masks are cheap, fun, and work brilliantly well.

Egg white is a common ingredient I use in face masks. Although there is no definitive scientific evidence demonstrating the specific benefits of egg white on the skin, I still love the way they make my skin feel.

Why are egg whites so good for your skin?

Even the products we buy to improve our skin may actually cause problems (downloads a PDF). So even the most pampered skin can start showing signs of aging and fatigue.

So what can be done to look your best?

Well, after loads of research and skin trials at home I think I have found an answer…

Egg white.

Yep, I believe that the humble egg helps with youthful looks!

But what is it about this ingredient that makes it so good?

Well, to understand that you need to learn what egg white is made of.

Wikipedia says “Egg white consists primarily of about 90% water into which about 10% proteins(includingalbumins,mucoproteins, andglobulins) are dissolved. Unlike the egg yolk, which is high inlipids(fats), egg white contains almost no fat, andcarbohydrate content is less than 1%. Egg whites contain about 56% of the protein in the egg.”

In addition, studies show that eggs have among the highest protein efficiency ratio‘s recorded in any food source.

Specifically, it is the proteins within eggs that makes them such a powerful ingredient for DIY masks.

The consistency of the egg white also helps it bind ingredients together so when you create a homemade mask adding an egg helps hold everything together and make it easy to apply it to your face.

As the American Egg Board says “The chemistry of egg protein coagulation explains how egg products assist with binding ingredients in multi-component prepared food system, preventing products from crumbling, losing their shape or falling apart”.

One thing worth remembering when using eggs as an ingredient in a DIY mask is that they are used raw. Raw eggs may contain salmonella so there’s a risk of salmonellosis when you ingest raw eggs so please be careful and don’t eat them!

Is it safe to use egg whites on your face?

For the majority of the population, the use of egg white on your face is completely safe. However, this does not mean it is without risk.

Some people do suffer from egg hypersensitivity or have an egg allergy so it’s always best to check.

Do a patch test on your skin to make sure you haven’t developed an allergy. If you feel any of the following symptoms you should avoid using an egg white mask:

• Burning sensations
• Slight irritation
• Swelling
• Redness

Specifically, some of the dangers you should be careful about include:

• Allergic reaction. If you have an allergy to eating eggs it is unwise to apply them to your skin.
• Egg intolerance or sensitivity. If you apply an egg face mask then there is a chance you may swallow some of it causing a tummy ache, or worse.
• Salmonella. There is a danger that raw eggs may contain a bacteria called salmonella which can cause serious illness.

Look youthful with DIY egg white face mask recipes

Interestingly, I have learned that egg proteins may potentially contribute to maintaining the elasticity of the skin. An egg contains about 69 different proteins, which have the magical power of reducing fine lines and temporary relief for the deep ones.

Egg whites are high in collagen and vitamin A (which is essential in the development of products that are able to treat scars or burns).

This means a remedy that includes egg whites will help you get rid of problems like:

• rosacea
• large pores
• acne
• other rashes.

Just remember to mix your egg white really well each time you use it (by mixing it you will obtain a foamy egg white look).

So now you know the miracle ingredient, the next question is how to use them in a way that will benefit you and your skin care regime.
