How to Make a Skin-Tightening Mask

An egg-white facial is a quick and inexpensive way to give your skin a real beauty boost. Egg whites have long been a popular ingredient in skin-tightening facial masks because they tighten, nourish and moisturize the skin, leaving your face looking firm and smooth.

Things You'll Need

• 1 large organic egg
• Small mixing bowl
• Wire whisk
• 1/2 tsp. sweet almond oil or sunflower oil
• 1 tbsp. cornstarch
• 1/4 tsp. sea salt
• 1 tsp. pure honey
• 1 tbsp. cream or whole milk

Instructions

1. Break a large, organic egg into a small mixing bowl, and whisk it until it's frothy.

2. Stir in the sweet almond oil or sunflower oil, cornstarch, sea salt, pure honey and cream or milk, and mix until the ingredients are completely incorporated.

3. Smooth the mixture on your face and neck with the pads of your fingers. Apply it in a circular motion, beginning at the neck and working up.

4. Allow the skin-tightening facial to remain on your face for 10 to 15 minutes, and rinse it with cool water. Pat your skin dry with a soft towel, and apply your favorite moisturizer.

Tips & Warnings

• Substitute cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil for the sweet almond oil or sunflower oil.

• For an effective impromptu skin-tightening facial mask, whip one egg white until it creates stiff peaks, and mix in two tablepoons of powdered milk. Smooth the mixture on your skin, and leave it for about 10 minutes. Rinse the mask with cool water, and pat your skin dry.
