Homemade Egg White Face Mask

Since looking after a friend's chickens whilst they are on holiday, I have had quite a surplus of eggs in the fridge and there's only so many omlets a girl can eat! So I decided to look up homemade face masks online and came across a very simple recipe, and one that is aimed at reducing acne (bonus!).

Simply take one egg white (being careful not to include any of the yolk), whisk it up to a froth and apply to your face with your fingers or an old (but clean) make-up brush.

As it dries the mask will 'tighten' on your face. I waited for about five minutes (a good chance to read a magazine or my favourite book at the moment, The Great Gatsby) then wash off with warm water. To treat acne it is recommended that you use this mask frequently so I kept the left over egg white in the fridge to use tomorrow.

For dry skin: add a teaspoon of honey.
For a soothing effect: add two teaspoons of natural/Greek yogurt.
For oily skin: add a dash of lemon juice.

I really enjoy making face masks at home and especially this one as it was so simple! Let me know if you try this recipe or any other face masks you make yourself.
