9 masks with honey for the face against wrinkles at home with egg yolk

Many cosmetics manufacturers focus on the natural origin of their ingredients. However, this does not exclude the fact that such creams and masks necessarily contain synthetic preservatives to increase shelf life. Therefore, many women are in search of natural ingredients that they use for home care.

In this case, the egg face mask, due to the availability and versatility of the main component, becomes an excellent alternative to even expensive skincare cosmetics. This is exactly the case when quality is not determined by price.

Egg face mask

Benefits of eggs and honey in skin care

The main advantage of masks based on honey and eggs is that by adding various components you can choose useful compositions for normal skin and all other skin types (oily, dry, combination, problem). In addition, the egg-honey complex gives good results in facial skin care at any age.

Egg plus honey in masks have a beneficial effect on the skin:

• Wrinkles are smoothed out, the skin (oval of the face) is tightened;
• Pores, cleared of accumulations of dirt and sebum, are tightened;
• The superficial as well as deep layers of the epidermis receive nutrition along with hydration;
• Peeling disappears;
• Regulates sebum production;
• Inflammations go away very quickly, leaving no spots.

It is IMPORTANT to understand that it is impossible to solve all problems with any one composition. There are a lot of mask recipes. Therefore, for a specific task, you need to select a specific combination of components.

Egg mask: pros and cons

Using raw eggs in home cosmetology has a number of advantages.

• Express care. Thanks to the content of a whole complex of vitamins and microelements, both the white and the yolk quickly “treat” problem skin. An egg-based mask will help you quickly refresh your face before any important event or going out.
• Complete nutrition. The most valuable components in the chemical composition of eggs are: lutein, which protects the dermis from the effects of free radicals, lecithin, which helps get rid of blackheads and pimples, as well as “vitamins of youth” A, D, E, PP.
• Getting rid of wrinkles. Egg protein, which is a natural “builder” of skin cells, plays a major role in the fight against aging. It returns elasticity to the dermis and has a visible lifting effect.

An egg face mask at home, in fact, has only one drawback - the composition must be used immediately after preparation. When stored even in the refrigerator, the natural product quickly deteriorates and loses its properties.

Are there any contraindications (side effects)?

A face mask with honey and egg has a number of contraindications:

1. Allergy to mask components. As you know, honey and egg white are strong natural allergens. To avoid redness, as well as other unpleasant manifestations, it is necessary to conduct a test sample. A drop of the product should be applied to the inside of the elbow. If no reaction occurs at the application site within 1 hour, then the composition can be safely applied directly. Otherwise, it is better to refuse the procedure;
2. Cuperosis - this manifestation is an individual feature of the body, when blood vessels are located close to the surface, forming a reddish-purple network on the face (especially on the cheeks, near the nose, on the chin). Honey activates blood flow, so after applying the product to problem areas, the vessels will become even more noticeable.
3. Noticeable unwanted hair on the face. In a situation where you regularly have to do hair removal, sugaring or other procedures to remove unwanted hair, you should avoid using masks with honey and egg. The substances in these components actively nourish the hair root, causing the hair to begin to grow even more actively and become thicker.
4. The presence of any damage to the skin - wounds, abrasions, pimples, ulcers, abscesses. After complete recovery, the procedure can be done without fear.
5. It is prohibited to use the mask for patients with diabetes mellitus, bronchial asthma and patients with carbohydrate metabolism disorders.

Beneficial properties of protein

The secret to the amazing results from using a protein mask lies in the vitamins, microelements and active substances in this product. Although their quantity leaves much to be desired, the deficiency is compensated by the highest concentration of beneficial components, which makes it possible to have an effect at the cellular level. Each element in the protein performs a specific function:

• natural protein restores any microtraumas, provides tone and normalizes sebum production;

• 
  fats form a protective film that eliminates various negative environmental impacts (heat, frost, harmful fumes and air pollution);

• carbohydrates tone up and relieve fatigue;
• niacin acid eliminates yellowness and restores natural complexion;
• glucose performs a transport function, restoring aging skin;
• biotin normalizes the secretion of subcutaneous fat;
• enzymes trigger restorative and rejuvenating processes directly in tissues, promote rapid healing of pimples, blackheads and minor skin damage;
• B vitamins accelerate the healing of skin inflammations, restore metabolism directly in skin cells, improve complexion, eliminate acne, have protective and rejuvenating properties, make the skin firm and elastic, and prevent premature aging of tissues.

Boil several eggs and peel off the shell film. Dry it and grind it into powder. Add it to regular masks or cream for the eye area. It is better to store such powder in the refrigerator in a container with a tightly closed lid for no more than 10-14 days.

Rules for preparing egg-based masks.

• The quality of the mask and its effectiveness depend on the quality of the eggs themselves. It doesn’t matter what size the egg is, the main thing is that it is fresh with an intact shell.
• After applying the mask, it is advisable to lie down, because the egg is liquid and may leak.
• If you have thick ingredients in the mask, then the mask will not spread and you can calmly go about your business.
• An egg mask will work best if your skin is prepared. That is, it has been cleaned of cosmetics and steamed in advance.
• When preparing a mask with oils, for example, do not use highly heated ingredients, otherwise the egg may curdle. But even when cold, the oil will not bring the desired benefits. Maintain balance.
• It is most effective to use the whole egg. This way the skin will receive more vitamins and essential substances. And the drying properties of the protein are neutralized by the yolk.
• You can apply the mask with your hands, but it is better with a cosmetic brush. This way you can better distribute the mixture over the surface of the skin.

Contraindications

Before making egg-based face masks, make sure you are not allergic to albumin. If you have dilated blood vessels, have fresh wounds on your skin, or have inflammation, then you should refrain from using egg masks. Those whose skin is excessively dry and prone to flaking should also be careful.

Egg masks are a simple, inexpensive and effective facial care product. Such masks can tighten, refresh and even rejuvenate the skin of the face. As with everything, regularity is important here.

How to use correctly

To achieve the maximum effect from use, compliance with the mandatory rules will help:

• Before applying the product, the face must be thoroughly cleaned and rinsed. It is advisable to steam the skin to achieve deep penetration of the composition into the open pores;
• The most effective effect is observed with regular application;
• It is necessary to use only recipes intended for a specific skin type;
• The composition must be tested for the absence of allergies;
• The mask is applied bypassing the delicate skin around the eyes;
• At the end of the procedure, the mask is removed with cotton pads soaked in water - warm or cool, depending on the recipe;
• To prepare the cosmetic composition, fresh products are required, honey - natural, always liquid in consistency, an egg - preferably a rustic one, without cracks or damage;
• An egg cannot be added to a hot honey base - the white will coagulate due to heating;
• The quantity of products must exactly correspond to the recipe for one session - no preparation for future use is required;
• It is advisable to use special dishes to prepare the cosmetic product - a shallow bowl, a measuring spoon and spatulas for applying the mask and spreading it in an even layer. If you don’t have a suitable container at home, you can purchase it at a store that sells cosmetics.

Tips and tricks

• You should not overuse this mask, since each procedure is a kind of stress for the skin, and the best option is once every 7-10 days. If you want to use the mixture more often, it is advisable to consult with a cosmetologist before doing so in order to avoid further unpleasant consequences and the opposite result.

• It is recommended to use only fresh products. Under no circumstances should you prepare a mask from eggs that have a characteristic unpleasant odor or bad color. Many people miss this fact, believing that food poisoning will not happen anyway, but the skin will endure it. No no and one more time no. At best, there will simply be redness or peeling; at worst, a widespread dangerous allergy, even swelling. Honey must also be of good quality and always natural. You should not buy store-bought with various additives.

Choosing the right ingredients

Both of these products for preparing a caring and nourishing mask must be chosen especially carefully. Only when using high-quality components can we talk about a real and quick effect from its use.

Honey

It is better to purchase honey directly from the apiary to be 100% sure of its natural origin. If this is not possible, when purchasing a beekeeping product on the market, determine its quality according to three criteria:

1. Color.
2. Taste.
3. Aroma.

These signs are very difficult to fake, even using dyes, flavors and other artificial additives. Pay special attention to its consistency. Most varieties, with the exception of acacia, begin to become candied within 1–3 months after distillation from honeycombs.

Take the product with a spoon and let it flow freely from it. Natural high-quality honey will fold like a book and not spread over the entire surface. It flows in a continuous viscous stream without interruption.

Olive oil

When purchasing olive oil, read the label carefully. It is better if the place of production of the product coincides with the place of its packaging. The highest quality of the oil is indicated by the “Extra virgin” sign.

Product labeled as "Virgin" or "Pomace" is of lower quality. For better preservation of the oil, the bottle should be made of dark glass.
