One of the best and cheapest facials you can give yourself is the egg facial. It may sound gross but it really works! Not only does it dry out the oils from your skin, it is also a natural whitening product. It helps to reduce scarring and sun damage.
Follow these simple steps:
1. Break the egg, splitting the yoke from the whites in two different bowls.
2. Beat the whites until they are nice and foamy.
3. Cover your face in a layer of the whites.
4. When your face feels tight then wash it off with luke warm water and pat dry.
5. Take the yoke and spread a thin layer over your face. This is a great moisturizer for your face.
6. Again when this gets tight wash it off with luke warm water and pat dry.
Try to do this at least once a week and it will improve your skin significantly. It is especially good if you have a sudden break out, as it will help it clear up a lot faster.
Linda, I want to try this but have one question: Does this have the same affect on African American skin as it does on other skin? OK, another question: you mentioned that the egg white is a natural whitener. Will it work for hyper pigmentation which is common with African American women?

Hi Leisa,
ReplyDeleteI believe this would work on your skin too but I am not 100% sure as I never even considered there being a difference to be honest. If you try it and you find it working for you will you let me know?
I know that Lemon juice is especially good for lightening the skin from scaring and sun spots and I have seen a few videos done by African American women on the internet. So I would suggest you use the egg facial to tighten and cleanse the skin from any imperfections and then follow it up by applying some lemon juice on your face as a toner to lighten your complexion. Leave the lemon juice on for 20 minutes and then rinse it off with cool water.
Try using the lemon juice on your face once a day for like 20 days and you should see a difference.
