Hello viewers this is Mishka, your very own nutrition expert.
I love taking care of myself and this is why I am applying egg whites to my face.
What do egg whites have to do with taking care of myself?
Well, that is exactly what I am going to tell you in this video.
Wait, before we jump on to that show us some love by clicking that subscribe button and
ringing that notification bell.
Watch till the end of the video to help support Bestie.
Egg whites are not only good as a part of your diet, you can also apply them to your
skin.
Here are some of the benefits of sleeping with egg whites on your face:
Bye Bye Acne!
You may have tried all those expensive night creams they talk about in the commercials,
but in the end you were probably disappointed.
Well, this is a less expensive remedy that may do just the trick.
Take egg whites and stir them in a bowl until they have become white and fluffy.
Once that is done, gently apply it on your face before you go to sleep.
You can give it a boost by adding a little Vitamin E oil.
Egg whites are a good source of protein and amino acids, these compounds tighten the pores
of your skin which will help prevent breakouts.
They also lighten the scarred skin and over time any acne scars should start to disappear.
If you continue applying egg whites to your face for two or three weeks, you should start
noticing the difference.
Impressive huh!
Wait there are more points to follow let's go to number two…
Moisturize Your Dry Skin
You may have dry skin and because of that you may feel itchy during summer.
This kind of skin is also susceptible to flaking, rashes and cracks.
So, what do you do?
You moisturize your skin with egg whites.
Although, this is one of those problems where egg whites probably won’t be enough.
You’ll also need lemon juice and virgin coconut oil.
The proteins and amino acids in the egg whites along with the antimicrobial properties of
virgin coconut oil and Vitamin C present in lemon helps in all levels of moisturizing
your skin.
Just make sure that you mix them properly, once that is done you can apply it on your
face like a face mask.
You can keep it on your face for 15 minutes before washing clean.
Keep it up for two to three times a week and you should be able to say goodbye to dry skin.
Oh and while you are at it, we recommend that you keep yourself hydrated by drinking at
least three litres of water daily.
This will add more antioxidants in your body and increase the rate of collagen production.
Moving on, let's try the next one…
Stand Up Against Wrinkles
Let’s face it, no one really likes growing old.
By the time we hit our 40s, we start worrying about the signs of ageing.
One of the earliest signs are wrinkles, most people start getting them by their mid-30s
and some even get them by their 20s.
This is why people spend so much money on those expensive creams, but for a home remedy,
egg whites are a good alternative.
Just like with the acne scars we mentioned before, the nutrients in egg whites will tighten
the pores and prevent breakouts.
There is something else at work here, too Riboflavin, an antioxidant compounds that
reduces skin damage and prevent wrinkles and other signs of aging from surfacing.
These same compounds also help to reduce puffiness under the eyes.
So, yeah in case you were wondering how I look so young the answer is egg whites!
Ok, it’s time to move on to oily skin.
Wash Away The Oil
It seems that egg whites and lemon juice get along very well.
Not only do they help with dry skin when mixed with coconut oil, but they can also be mixed
with honey for treating oily skin.
You might wonder, “Why add honey in the mix?”
Well, its antibacterial properties help by taking out the oil without letting go of the
moisture.
Meanwhile, egg whites toughen the skin and lemon juice absorbs the oil.
One thing to keep in mind is not to overuse the lemon juice in this mixture, and keep
it to one teaspoon.
This is because the lemon might feel uncomfortable and sting your face.
Once again just like the other home-made remedies in the list, you can leave it on your face
for about 15 minutes and then wash it away.
If you feel any form of discomfort, wash your face right away.
Talk about a double-edged sword, huh?
Speaking of which, let's check out the next point…
Goodbye Blackheads
Blackheads are so annoying and are comedone just like Whiteheads, they are skin pores
or hair follicles on the skin surface that are filled with oxidized sebum oil and dead
skin cells.These things are usually more common in people with oily skin.
In this case, we would suggest applying egg whites and lemon juice.
Please keep in mind to only add one teaspoon of lemon juice, otherwise it may sting.
The egg white will stiffen the pores, which will automatically draw out the blackheads
from the surface of your skin.
Lemon does a good job at absorbing the oil and continuous application of this remedy
should help reduce the blackheads within a few weeks.
In case you don’t have lemon, you can try this with just egg whites.
Let’s keep it going, next up...
Forget Facial Hair
When you combine egg whites with cornstarch and sugar, you get a very efficient remedy
to deal with facial hair.
This is a sticky solution which is the secret to its effectiveness.
For this, you apply the mixture on your face and keep it there until it has solidified
to become a full on facial mask.
Once things have stiffened up, take it off slowly, then wash your face.
Pretty simple, isn’t it?
Yes, it may be a bit more difficult to do than it sounds, but hey this can help save
a lot of money that you may have spent on spa visits.
Egg whites are one of those things, that’s edible and can also be used as a face mask.
This reminds us of almond milk that you can not only drink, but also apply on your skin
by mixing it with rose water.
We have done an entire video on that topic.
In case you have missed it, we would recommend that you check it out.
