Who doesn’t have eggs in the fridge? Not only they are just good and nutritious to eat, but they also are a great and inexpensive beauty fix. Eggs contain proteins that firm and tight skin as well as helping to reduces the appearance of pores. Here are a few recipes you can make with eggs:
1. Egg and Honey Mask to firm skin
Ingredients:
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon of honey

Mix the ingredients together. Apply the mixture to your face and wait 15-20 minutes. Rinse off first with warm, then cool water.
2. Egg and Banana Mask
Ingredients:
- 1 egg
- 4 tablespoons of chickpea flour
- 1 banana
Mix banana and chickpea flour until it forms a paste. Beat one egg and add it to the paste. Apply on your face and wait about 15 minutes. Rinse off with warm water.
Egg firms skin while banana diminishes puffiness and redness. Chickpea flour is used to soften skin.
3. Egg White and Oatmeal Acne Treatment

Bat one egg white into foam. Add the oatmeal powder until you get a paste. Apply to your face and let it dry. Rinse off first with warm, then will cool water.
4. Anti-aging Wine and egg mask

I love egg masks, I think I blogged about it before
The egg whites really firm up my skin while the yolk helps heal acne.

I’ve always just used egg and honey for a firming mask. I never thought about adding olive oil. I shall give it a try. Nice post dear!

Dao: yeah, I remember your post, it was very good. I rally like eggs masks too, they make my skin firm and tight too.
Dee: thanks. Egg and honey alone is a good mask as well but personally I prefer to add some olive oil too. My skin seems to like that. Let me know how it goes for you.

Thanks. I know, I don’t like the smell either
But they work so well it’s worth it imo.
Eggs are great source for beauty and hair fixes. I have been thinking of using them for my frizzy hair. My hair is so out of control, I can take the smell of eggs if they can tame my fizzy hair … lol
Thanks for the great tips!

Jenni, you’re welcome. The smell isn’t that great, I agree, but I find that eggs usually work well on hair. I hope they’ll work for you too.
