Face masks with yolk
The use of eggs in personal care has been practiced since ancient times. As for face masks, a whole egg is used very rarely; as a rule, either the yolk or the white is used, depending on the skin type and the effect you want to get. In this article we will talk about what yolk does in a face mask, who should use it and how best to do it.
Benefits of yolk for the face
The composition of the yolk is very rich in vitamins, minerals, and all this can be usefully used to improve the condition of the skin. So, for example:
- Vitamin A acts as a humectant. With its help you can prevent and overcome dryness and flaking.
- Vitamin E protects the dermis at the cellular level and acts as an antioxidant. It significantly improves skin condition and actively fights acne and irritation.
- Biotin, also known as vitamin B7, is a beauty vitamin.
- Lecithin softens the skin, nourishes and gives elasticity. It acts as a conductor of nutrients, which, under its influence, penetrate deeper into the skin.
- Potassium moisturizes the dermis and prevents moisture from evaporating.
- Melatonin - rejuvenates and regenerates skin cells.
- Pantothenic acid normalizes blood circulation and improves complexion.
- Cyanocobalamin has a calming effect on the dermis, relieves inflammation, peeling and itching.
This is just a short list of what a simple egg yolk contains. Masks based on this product perfectly nourish, moisturize, rejuvenate and soothe the skin. They can be used for any skin type and to solve many problems, but egg yolk is much more effective for existing:
To prepare such masks, the yolk of a chicken egg is often used, but if you wish, you can use the yolks of duck or quail eggs. The main thing is to maintain proportions. So, for example, to replace one chicken yolk you need to take about five quail yolks or half a duck yolk, etc.
Recipes always indicate the classic (basic) number of ingredients, however, if the mask turns out to be too much, the amount can be reduced proportionally. If possible, buy farm eggs, or use your own, because... they contain much more useful substances. If this is not possible, then store-bought ones should first be checked for freshness. This can be done by dropping the egg into a glass of water. If the product is fresh, it will sink to the bottom, but eggs that are not fresh will float to the surface.
When heating the composition in a water bath, be careful. Yolks tend to coagulate at a temperature of 65°C. Therefore, you should not be overzealous with the temperature.
After applying to the skin, leave the composition on the face for 15-20 minutes. This time is enough to get the effect.
