Egg White Acne Treatment

The egg white mask is a trendy skin treatment that is reputed to clear up acne and tighten pores. While there isn't sufficient evidence to verify its skincare benefits, the egg white mask has gained recognition as an all-natural and inexpensive remedy.

Application

To apply the mask, pat your face with pure egg white and allow it to dry until it becomes a tight film (about 10 minutes). Rinse off your face with warm water and let it air dry.

How It Works

There is no scientific evidence to prove that egg whites can effectively treat acne, however eggs do have anti-bacterial properties that may help clear skin. For instance, Lysozyme is a natural enzyme found in eggs that digests bacterial cell walls.

Appeal

The egg white mask is essentially a cheap home remedy that uses a common ingredient. It's also an all-natural treatment that's free of the controversial parabens and synthetic fragrances routinely found in acne medication.

Combination Treatments

The egg white mask can be enhanced with natural additives like oatmeal and honey. Unlike egg whites, both oatmeal and honey have been established as effective anti-acne agents.

Advice

Since a major aim of this treatment is to minimize exposure to chemicals, exclusively use organic eggs for this mask.
