Are egg white face masks good for your skin?
People can use egg whites as an ingredient in face masks for a variety of skin types. While there is no scientific evidence to support the apparent benefits of egg whites for the skin, they are a common staple of DIY skincare.
This article looks at the potential benefits of egg white face masks, along with some recipes for masks that people can try using on skin that is oily or dry.
Potential benefits
The main nutritional component of egg white is protein. One large egg contains 3.6 gramsTrusted Source of protein.
Proponents of egg white face masks believe that this protein has skin-tightening effects and absorbs excess oil from the skin.
Some people also state that egg whites contain vitamins and minerals that can benefit the skin’s overall appearance. However, egg whites contain few nutrients other than protein.
It is important to note that the skin acts as a barrier to protect the rest of the body. It could limit the number of small particles, such as vitamins and minerals, that the body absorbs when a person applies egg whites to the outer layer of skin.
DIY Massage Oil for Edges
Ginger oil
Jojoba, olive or avocado oil
Mix equal parts of ginger root oil with another oil like jojoba, avocado, or olive oil. Massage the oil mixture onto the scalp around the edges gently and in a circular motion. This can be used on your entire scalp as well. Do nightly until you feel they have grown back fully. There is no need for a lot of the mixture to be used during each application or you will end up with an oily mess ,so use enough to gently massage and not leave significant residue. Understand that this will not work if you are still using those techniques that may have caused the thinning edges in the first place so do not cause tension to your edges while you work on growing them back. If the scalp is thinning due to hormonal problems or medicine then seek the advice of a medical professional on what you can do to revive the problem without interfering with your health.
