It is evident that home remedies are best for treating skin conditions such as acne and blackheads. Natural ingredients are always safer to beat chemicals.
Egg whites are a comfortable way to enrich your skin, and help dry and exfoliate the blackhead affected area. This method reduces skin discoloration occurring due to acne.
Application of layers of egg white to your skin creates a dry mask that can be peeled away from the affected area.
Part 1: Egg White Mask Preparation
- Take three eggs since you are going to use only the white portion of the eggs. You can chill the eggs to make them easier to get separated.
- The easiest way to separate the whites from the yolk is by using the eggshell itself.
- First, crack the egg at its half and open it carefully. Without breaking the yolk, make the eggs shift from one half of the shell to the other by dripping the white in a separate bowl. This will completely separate the yolk from the white.
- Keep the shell and the yolk aside for different usage.
- This same process can be repeated for both the other eggs too.
Another simple way of separating the yolk from the white is to use bare hands. You can break the egg and drip it through your fingers and grabbing the yolk such that the white gets collected in a separate bowl. Discard the yolk and the shell and do the same for all the three eggs.
- Yet another method of egg white and yolk separation is by using a bottle.
- Crack the egg and pour it completely into a bowl.
- Now take a plastic bottle and remove its lid. Squeeze the bottle such that some of the air inside the bottle gets out.
- Now, place the mouth of the bottle over the yolk and release the bottle.
- The yolk gets inside the bottle and thus the white remains in the bowl.
You can also use this optional method of using the egg. Break down the egg into a bowl and beat the yolk and the white together using a fork or an egg beater. This will mix the yolk and the white evenly and you can use this as an ingredient as well.
Additional Tips
- You can also add some lemon juice to the white that you have separated. To loosen the blackheads, add the lemon juice. This is the most natural way of removing the blackheads and lightening the skin.
- You can also add some honey to the egg white-lemon mixture since honey acts as an anti-infection agent. Mix some honey to the egg white with a fork or the beater. Then, apply the mixture to the face without leaving any gap.
- Baking soda can also be added to this mixture sometimes. Baking soda is an ingredient that can be paired well with any eatables.
Baking soda is very good for your skin. It helps to create a paste that makes the dead skin cell to wither and cleans the skin. It mainly balances the pH level of the skin that causes acne. It also helps to dry the skin and reduce the bacteria and acne.
You can add one tbsp of baking soda to the egg white and see if your skin tolerates. You can increase the levels if you are comfortable with adding soda.
Part 2: Applying Egg White over the Skin
Egg white reduces skin discoloration. It contains all the nutrients that the skin needs. Let the mask dry and once it is dry you can remove all the layers. Thus your blackheads and acne discoloration are reduced totally.
The first layer is over. The purpose now is to make the mask thicker by adding more layers of egg white. Let each layer dry properly so that the next layer can be separate and does not blend with the previous one.
- To ensure that you have separate layers of egg white masks, you can use soft tissues in between the layers.
- After painting the first layer of egg white mask, press one tissue over the layer when it is still wet. After the tissue and the mask dries, the second layer can be comfortably applied.
- After making this foundation of egg white and tissue layers, you should add more such layers. Over the tissue layer, apply the second layer of mask and over that press the second tissue.
- Repeat this procedure for a third time if you are comfortable. Many layers can improve the result to a greater extent.
When all the layers of the mask have dried, you can now prepare to remove it. You can peel off the mask easily if you have used tissues. Now, rinse your face to remove all the remaining egg white off the skin. Now dry your skin with a towel.
It will be seen that the blackheads have disappeared. But, not all blackheads are gone. Apply this mask frequently and you can see that all your blackheads have disappeared and that the skin has become very smooth and glowing.
