Using Eggs To Treat Your Acne
Acne can be prevented and treated by using the various forms of acne treatment drugs and gels available in the market. However, those who prefer to stay away from the synthetic drugs and harsh chemicals generally turn to Mother Nature for acne natural cure. Nature has a storehouse of minerals, vitamins, fruits, vegetables that can be used to treat acne and several other health and beauty problems.
You must have heard about the various health benefits about egg but did you know that egg whites can also help in treating acne naturally? Several homemade acne remedies use egg whites as an important ingredient. The egg whites are quite effective in treating acne as it reduces the large pores of the skin, thus making it acne free. If mixed with lemon juice then it works as a good exfoliation agent.
The egg whites are rich sources of proteins, and are used as a mask to treat, cure, and restore the skin. The egg whites are also helpful in absorbing the excess oil from the skin. You can also use it as a mild astringent to treat acne. Being natural, it is free from side effects and doesn’t cause excessive drying of skin.
The egg-white facial mask for acne:
Crack open an egg into a bowl and take away the yolk. Cleanse your face thoroughly and apply the beaten egg whites directly to your face. Leave it on for 15-20 minutes and then wash it off with water. If you do this often, you will discover an acne free skin without any whiteheads and blackheads.
Alternatively, you can also add some lemon juice to it. Lemon juice is also considered as an effective acne natural cure. Many people greatly benefit with the combination of egg whites and lemon juice. Give it a try! Without wasting so much on the medicated acne treatment creams and gels.
Alternative acne natural remedy using egg yolk:
Some people claim that egg yolk works better than egg whites. An egg yolk mask can be prepared by beating the yolk of an egg in a bowl and adding some water to it. This mask should be applied thoroughly over the face and left over to dry for 15 minutes. After it dries, wash it off, using an oil free cleanser and lukewarm water.
