I don’t know what I’d do without eggs. Aside from being one of my favorite foods, they’re also one of my favorite beauty tips.
Egg White Facial Mask for Oily and Combination Skin
Egg whites make for an amazing facial mask if you have either oily or combination skin. Separate the egg white from an egg and beat until frothy. Apply to face and neck and let dry. Keep it on your face for 10-15 minutes before rinsing off.
You’ll immediately see that your skin is tighter, pores are smaller, and that oily sheen is gone. Don’t apply more than once per week.
Egg Yolk Hair Conditioner
I make sure to do this treatment at the same time I do the egg white facial mask. Separately, mix the egg yolk and apply to clean hair as you would any hair conditioner. Be sure to concentrate a generous amount of the yolk at the tips. Leave on for 10-15 minutes, like the mask. I then step into the shower to rinse both off with minimal hassle. I used to get horrible split ends and nothing I tried other than this egg yolk hair treatment would alleviate the problem. Now my hair is shiny and split-end free.
Egg Yolk Facial Mask for Dry or Mature Skin
For those with dry, parchy skin, use the egg yolk for a facial mask instead of the egg white. I’ve never tried this before as I do not have dry, parchy skin. Just the opposite. I could deep-fry the darn egg in all the oil on my face that collects in a day. However, friends have tried this and love it.
Egg yolk facial masks are also fantastic for older women who want to keep the wrinkles and age spots under control. Both my mother and grandmother used to mix an egg yolk, milk, and honey for a face mask that has kept their skin ageless. They aged very gracefully and I can only hope for the same.
What To Do With the Eggshell
Make an excellent compost with crushed up eggshells and coffee grounds. I then use the compost in my potted plants, which I’ve found to be just as effective as Miracle-Gro or other commercial plant foods.

I read the article about egg mask. Its really a very good information about skin and hair care. Its surprising that egg white and yolk both plays a major role in skin and hair. The tips are very cost effective also. Definitely everybody should try and get benefit from the eggs. Thanks.
