Notes when using egg white mask
An egg-white mask is truly an ideal choice for women. However, to use the egg white mask effectively, you need to keep in mind some important notes:
Only apply a sufficient amount of egg white mask on your face, not too thin or too thick. The important thing is that you do it regularly and persistently.
If you only apply an egg mask once a week, the amount of nutrients is too little, not enough to provide and nourish the skin for the next 6 days, so the effectiveness will not be high. However, if you apply a mask every day, it will lead to the skin not absorbing all the nutrients, causing counterproductive effects. Therefore, it is best to only apply it 2-3 times a week.
Before applying the mask, you need to wash your face thoroughly to remove dirt and help the skin easily absorb nutrients. Use rose water after applying a mask to tighten pores and firm skin. Moisturizer can be applied to dry skin.
After applying the mask, the skin is very fragile and susceptible to sunburn, so do not expose your skin to sunlight. The best time to apply an egg mask is in the evening before going to bed, this is the time when the skin and body are resting so they can more easily absorb nutrients.
If you make an egg mask with an ingredient that your skin is allergic to, don’t worry, try combining egg whites with other ingredients. To reduce the risk of facial allergies, before applying any mask, test a little mixture on the back of your hand and wait for about 15 minutes. If there are no unusual symptoms, you can use it with confidence.
