    1. Separate the egg white from the yolk.
    2. Beat the egg white until stiff and foamy. (Refer to the video description, which shows the desired consistency).
    3. If using, gently mix in the lemon juice.
    4. Apply a thin layer to your clean face, avoiding the eye area.
    5. Leave on for 10-15 minutes, or until dry.
    6. Rinse with lukewarm water and pat your face dry.

Egg Yolk & Honey Face Mask

This hydrating mask is ideal for dry or mature skin. The yolk contains nutrients that can moisturize and nourish the skin, while honey adds further moisturizing benefits.

  • Ingredients:

    • 1 egg yolk
    • 1 tablespoon honey
  • Instructions:

    1. Gently mix the egg yolk and honey until well combined.
    2. Apply to a clean face.
    3. Leave on for 10-15 minutes.
    4. Rinse with lukewarm water and pat dry.

Other Variations

Many other ingredients can be added to egg masks to customize them for different skin needs. For example, adding mashed banana to the egg yolk can create a moisturizing mask, as noted by several sources. Adding coconut oil or olive oil to the yolk can also provide extra hydration.

Important Note: Always perform a patch test on a small area of skin before applying any new face mask to your entire face to check for allergic reactions.
