How to Treat Acne With Egg Yolks

No matter what age you are, you can experience acne. Every year millions of dollars are spent on the latest treatments and miracle cures. One of the oldest and best cures for acne can be found in the refrigerator--a raw egg yolk. Egg yolks are loaded with two very important substances: albumin and vitamin A. Albumin is a filmy substance that is a drying agent, therefore it can dry out acne and tighten pores. Vitamin A is an ingredient in modern acne medications, but comes naturally in the yolk. To rid yourself of acne, apply this egg yolk mask daily. Do once a week after that to maintain results.

Things You'll Need

• 2 Eggs
• Egg separator (optional)
• Bowl
• Wire whisk

Instructions

1. 

   Crack open your eggs and separate the yolk from the white. You can do this with an egg separator, or by hand if you are practiced at separating the white while keeping the yolk intact.

2. 

   Put the yolks into a small bowl, and beat with a wire whisk until slightly frothy.

3. 

   Apply a thin layer of the egg yolk to your face. As it starts to dry, apply another thin layer over the top of the first one. Leave on for 15 minutes.

4. Rinse the yolk from face with warm water. Pat dry.

Tips & Warnings

• Properly dispose of any unused portion of the egg to prevent bacterial growth.
