Method 1: Whisked Egg White Face Mask for Blackheads

Egg whites contain a protein called albumin that works to tighten your skin, reduce the appearance of pores and thus reduce the formation of blackheads.

Egg whites are also rich in nutrients that nourish and moisturize your skin, giving it a lighter and brighter appearance.

Step 1. Extract and whisk egg whites

• Crack open an egg and collect the whites in a container.
• Using a small, motorized hand blender, whisk the egg whites until they are slightly stiff for application.

Step 2. Use egg whites and paper towel to make a peel-off face mask

• Dip a clean cosmetic brush into the whisked egg whites and apply a thin layer on your face.
• Apply strips of thin paper towel over your face to make a peel-off mask.
• Apply another layer of the whisked egg whites on top of the paper towel.
• Let it dry. You may apply a third layer of whisked egg whites after 5 minutes for greater skin tightening.
• Once the mask has dried completely, slowly peel off the paper towel.
• Rinse your face with water and gently pat dry using a soft clean towel.

Do this twice a week to reduce the appearance of blackheads and get firmer skin after 2 to 3 weeks of regular application.

Tips You Should Keep in Mind

• Since these egg white masks tend to be runny and may drip, wear an old T-shirt to avoid spoiling your good clothes.
• Ideally, apply these egg white face masks over a sink or washbasin to avoid creating a mess. After application, keep your face over the sink for a few seconds to collect any initial drippings.
• For best results, always wash your face with a mild face wash first to remove the dirt and impurities accumulated on your face throughout the day. This will also promote better absorption of the proteins and nutrients from these egg white masks.
