Egg is a common ingredient for natural skin and hair care. It works well on oily skin as the egg white absorbs oil and reduce pores, treating minor acne and firms up skin. Also, the yolk is used to condition and moisturizes the skin. After talking to a dermatologist, he doesn't recommend egg mask for everybody. Due to its protein content, egg not recommended with people who are prone for breakouts or have sensitive skin as the enzymes can aggravate and irritate skin. After careful consideration, I put the egg to the test, separating the white and the yolk. After a quick whisk, I massaged the egg white all over the face particularly in the t-zone area. While wearing the mask, I definitely felt my skin tightened as the egg dries. After 10 minutes I washed off the mask and my skin felt slightly more firm. I will use this maybe once every 2 weeks since it does a good job absorbing oil and drying out minor acne.
As for hair care, it is quite well-known that using egg as hair mask will soften and adds shine to hair. I wonder how accurate it would be, so I decided to go with quite a basic hair mask recipe. After trying it, I definitely recommend this to all those who have dry and limp hair. After conditioning my hair with egg mixture, I washed it off with coconut shampoo. The result? Extremely soft, smooth, and silky hair. I am not more impressed with this treatment, I absolutely LOVE it!!
