Every self respecting do-it-yourself skin care aficionada/o should have an egg white face mask build into her/ his skin care regime...we said the same about egg yolk masks by the way; but it's true

Egg whites have been used in skin care for as long as people can remember, and they still are as effective as ever. In the scuffle that broke out when "modern" cosmetics started to promise eternal beauty, they were pushed to the back a bit. But now people are rediscovering the power of these all natural ingredients

So everyone, and that includes you, can enjoy that relaxing and satisfying natural spa experience right there in your own home with these egg white masks. It's all made clear; these face mask recipes are as simple as ABC, affordable or downright cheap and you probably have the ingredients already somewhere in your kitchen cabinets

An egg white mask can be very useful in skin care for many reasons. An egg white is protein, vitamin, and mineral rich so it nourishes your skin

It is especially known to cleanse, exfoliate and lighten the skin. But it is most famous for being a very effective astringent which means it tightens and firms your skin. This in turn means it is a very potent wrinkle remover

If you want to find out more about egg white as an active ingredient in do-it-yourself facial masks visit our homemade facial mask basics page by clicking on the link. There you can also find out more about many other possible ingredients and ways to combine them into your own signature facial mask recipe

Before applying any facial mask clean your face and neck with fresh water. Take off all cosmetics, creams, lotions, in short: everything. Use a non abrasive, non aggressive soap if necessary. When finished, pat your skin dry

Even better is to take a hot shower or a steam bath to clean and open up your pores. For some useful steam bath suggestions & tips check our steam bath page

When you have applied the egg white face mask of choice make sure you take your time to lie down, place a towel under your head and neck. Put 2 cucumber slices on your eyes; or use 2 used and cooled down chamomile teabags (our personal favorite!) or 2 cotton pads soaked in rose or lavender water
