Egg-Based Face Masks Breaking the Beauty Norm

Eggs are now being used in skincare products to reap all the benefits they can provide for both oily and dry skin types.

At Beautysyn, we look at well researched and tested products that have been released into the market by brands to pick the best out of the lot for you!

We are not joking with the title of this article. This is not an early Halloween trick at all!

Eggs are one of those wholesome food items that many Doctors, nutritionist, and even dieticians, recommend. In fact, the health benefits of consuming eggs on a regular basis are many. However, their benefits are not limited to the diet! Eggs and its components are great for topical application on the skin as well.

Let us look at how we can benefit from adding eggs to our skincare routine.

Why Use Egg on Your Face?

Albumen or egg white shrinks pore size and tightens the skin. It has an overall toning effect on the skin.
Shrunken pores mean lesser amount of sebum reaches the skin’s surface. This helps to keep the greasiness under control.
Another advantage of smaller pores is that the chances of bacteria infecting them decreases. As a result, not only does the frequency of acne reduce but also their intensity.
Apart from the tightening effect benefiting acne-prone skin, an enzyme called lysozyme found in egg naturally helps to destroy acne-causing bacteria as well.
The skin toning and tightening effects aid in anti-ageing as well.
The fats present in egg yolk can benefit people with dry and normal skin. These fats can nourish the skin and provide moisturising effects.
Various proteins, vitamins, and minerals found in eggs can benefit the skin in improving its overall health.
Eggs for hair masks are also a popular addition as they can help reduce breakage and soften dry, brittle hair.

How to Make an Egg Mask for Your Face

Egg masks for your face, or even an egg mask for hair, is easy to whip up in the kitchen. Depending on the other ingredients you add to the mix, an egg mask can benefit multiple skin types.

These homemade concoctions may be convenient to make but can easily go wrong. As the proportion of ingredients can cause more harm than good, when not done right. Furthermore, homemade remedies are not tested and tried. Reactions are possible that can damage your skin for a long period of time. In such a case, it is Korean skincare brands that come to our rescue.

Having realised the benefits of egg mask for hair and face, brands have released products to match our needs. These products contain various egg components to benefit different skin types.

Essentially, as these products sell commercially, testing is part of the product development. This means that you do not have to worry about any adverse reactions. However, it’s important to make sure you are not allergic to any of the ingredients.
