Egg mask: the expected effect is obvious
An egg is not only a valuable food product, but also an excellent cosmetic product, as it is a real storehouse of nutrients, vitamins and minerals necessary for our skin.
1. Yolk
How can we explain the amazing nutritional and moisturizing properties of egg yolk? It is difficult to find in the variety of products something that can compare in value with the yolk. It contains almost the entire periodic table and most of the vitamins:
- phosphorus;
- sodium;
- potassium;
- iron;
- calcium;
- vitamins B, D;
- the main percentage of all vitamins is the miraculous vitamin A, which helps control the level of moisture in the skin (it is its deficiency that leads to such unpleasant sensations as peeling and dryness);
- lecithin, which tones, softens, moisturizes the skin, restores its protective functions, improves the penetration of necessary nutrients into the deep layers of the skin.
This composition ensures the magical effect of egg yolk face masks on dry skin: it becomes soft, silky and maximally moisturized. After several uses, you will feel that you have finally gotten rid of the feeling of skin tightness.
2. Protein
A protein egg face mask is known for its tightening and drying effect; it can rid the skin of oily shine and blackheads. The sticky protein collects all the dirt from the skin of the face, so that it is then washed off along with it. The protein contains:
- amino acids;
- B vitamins.
Protein masks are most effective if used regularly - 1 or even 2 times a week, depending on the problem. In this case, the oily sheen with black dots will gradually begin to disappear.
3. Whole egg
There are many recipes for making masks from whole eggs. You can use both chicken and quail (which, by the way, contain more microelements and nutrients, but which need 2 times more than chicken). This egg face mask is suitable for combination (mixed) and normal skin. After regular use of such masks, the skin takes on a well-groomed and beautiful appearance.

Egg face masks can confidently be called the most affordable and popular homemade masks. There are a huge number of recipes for masks, the basis of which is an ordinary chicken egg. These are the simplest masks, consisting of eggs and honey, and masks made from exotic fruits or vegetables, but even here you cannot do without an egg. This is understandable, because due to the tightening effect, egg masks are very, very popular.
In the days of our grandmothers’ youth, when there was no such abundance of facial skin care products in stores, face masks in beautiful jars were an excellent substitute for an ordinary egg mask.
Egg masks can be used for any skin type (for dry and normal skin - yolk, for oily and problem skin - white).
Caring for dry skin must include the use of nourishing, softening and toning masks. For dry skin, fruits (apricots, bananas, sweet grapes, pears, peaches, watermelon, melon, sea buckthorn, gooseberries, tangerines) and vegetables (cabbage, carrots, cucumbers, ripe red tomatoes, pumpkin) are successfully used.
Face mask with egg
For better fixation of the mask, chopped fruits or vegetables are thoroughly mixed with egg yolk. Egg yolk has an excellent moisturizing and nourishing effect; it contains vitamins A, B and D, as well as lecithin, which is necessary for the human body.
In addition, egg whites contain a substance known as lysozyme, an enzyme that kills bacteria by breaking down their cell walls. Take a look at the complete list of all the benefits of egg face masks:
- Collagen restores tissue and stimulates cell growth, and also helps improve skin elasticity and fight wrinkles.
- Potassium helps skin cells retain nutritional moisture.
- Riboflavin cleanses the skin, eliminates the effects of free radicals and prevents the appearance of wrinkles.
- Magnesium gives the skin a natural glow and slows down the aging process.
- The yolk has a moisturizing and nourishing effect. Masks made from it are recommended for use on skin prone to dryness and flaking. Or use it in winter - at this time of year the person needs additional nutrition. The yolk contains: vitamins A, B and D, as well as minerals and trace elements such as calcium, phosphorus, potassium and other caring elements. A high percentage of lecithin content - this element guarantees the supply of beneficial microelements to the deep layers of the epidermis, improves barrier functions, softens and nourishes the skin. Many beneficial components make yolk an ideal mask component.
- Protein is more beneficial for skin with excess oil content. It cleanses, tightens and mattifies the skin. An egg white face mask is a good choice for girls with excessively oily skin. If you have mixed skin type, then the protein should be applied only to the T zone, which is always slightly oilier than the rest of the face. Among the useful components of protein are amino acids and B vitamins.
- Quail eggs have been used for cosmetic purposes for many years.

- Allergy to other components of masks - it is possible to replace some components with others. For example, if you are allergic to honey, it is better to remove it from the composition and replace it with oil. Or choose a recipe with other ingredients.

The best egg face masks
Using egg whites can seriously improve your skin condition. Protein masks are absolutely safe, because they do not contain chemical ingredients - the product is natural. Taking care of your face in this way is cheap, and in terms of effectiveness it is much better than many salon procedures.
What effects can be achieved by regularly making an egg protein mask:
tightening (natural skin turgor is restored to a large percentage); cleansing pores and removing blackheads (since microcirculation of blood and oxygen improves in the skin, the pores begin to breathe normally, their permeability is restored. They stop becoming clogged with fat, and the old blackheads peel off and disappear over time); color evening, whitening (coarse pigmentation goes away, freckles fade, skin appears even tone without contrast zoning); getting rid of acne (in healthy tissues there is no place for bacteria - pustules and inflamed areas gradually disappear, micro-wounds heal); reduction of wrinkles (skin renewal is a consequence of the restoration of collagen and elastin activity, the fibers seem to come to life, wake up from hibernation, sagging decreases).
To make a protein mask with high-quality results, you need to keep in mind simple rules and follow them. The protein structure requires a careful attitude - it does not like high temperatures and acidic environments (in both cases protein coagulation will occur). When drying, protein also behaves in a special way, and this must be taken into account.
A set of rules that must be followed:
- always apply the mask only to a perfectly cleansed face (there should be no residues of cosmetic products on the skin);
- if you want to enhance the effectiveness of the protein mask, first take steam baths or a hot compress (this way you will slightly expand the pores);
- liquid protein spreads, so before applying the mask, limit your face with a damp “barrier” of cotton swabs moistened with warm water. Place them tightly together along the contour of the treated area. Another option is to make a rope out of loose cotton wool, moisten it with water, place it on your face in the form of a frame so that the mixture does not spread beyond its boundaries; the protein should remain on the face for no more than 15-20 minutes (at this stage the mask can still be removed, and after that the crust will be difficult to remove);
- During the procedure, the facial muscles must be completely relaxed and the face motionless. Don't talk, laugh or smile;
- To remove the mask, use a herbal decoction or boiled water. Rinse off the mask with light massage movements in small circles;
- at the end of the procedure, remove the remnants of the mask with a neutral lotion, lubricate the skin with a nourishing cream (depending on what type of skin you personally have);
- frequency of the procedure - no more than 2 times a week, every other month;
- Prepare in advance a whisk, a bowl, a wide brush or a men's shaving brush, and several paper napkins for blotting up accidental drops during the procedure.
From all the variety, you will probably choose something for yourself, and other options will seem uninteresting to you. At first, it is recommended to try different recipes. This will help you decide. Listen to the sensations of your skin, draw conclusions, analyze.
