Masks with this product are suitable for absolutely every skin type at any age, they help dry out oily skin and moisturize dry skin, as well as cleanse and tighten pores, smooth out wrinkles and improve tone.
It all depends on which part of the egg to use in the mask: the white and the yolk affect radically different skin problems. That is why it is extremely rare to find recipes using whole eggs.
The enzyme composition of eggs is truly unique. Absolutely all of its components are completely digestible, and their diversity is surprising.
- Firstly , it is pure protein, rich in water-soluble B vitamins, amino acids and minerals (sodium, calcium, magnesium, iron, potassium, selenium, etc.), which control the preservation of youthful skin and eliminate inflammatory processes.
Protein also has tightening and drying properties. Therefore, it is suitable for eliminating oily shine, cleansing and reducing pores.
- Secondly , the yolk, which contains a large amount of saturated fatty acids (linoleic, oleic, stearic), which retain moisture in skin cells, increase elasticity and provide hydration control.
In addition, the yolk provides deep nutrition and softening of the skin due to its high content of vitamins E, D, A. Lecithin in its composition enhances the natural protective functions of the skin.
Thus, egg white is optimal for caring for oily, combination and problem skin, and yolk for dry skin that is prone to flaking or aging.
Egg as a universal ingredient for any face mask
By the way, both chicken and quail eggs are equally suitable for making masks. The latter even contain much more B vitamins, iron and copper.
