5 DIY Egg Face Masks You Must Try

What is more dreadful than waking up in the morning? Well, waking up in the morning with a new pimple. Our mind straightaway questions the root of the occurrence of the zit- was it the fast food, the lack of sleep, stress, dust, or just sheer disobedience of our skin. We indeed are fed up with spending a fortune on miscellaneous skincare products with a shelf life of not more than a few weeks.

Most of these skincare products that dig a hole in our pockets end up being not suitable for our skin, and thus, spending for a mere trial and error method could lead to a potential spending loop.

The solution to our skincare dilemmas lies in our very own pantry- eggs. Yes, besides being an inseparable part of a whole diet, an egg could be a cheap but effective substitute to rid you of various problems related to your skin.

# Face mask for acne-prone skin

We will make this mask using egg white, honey, and lemon juice. We mainly use lemon as a bleaching and skin-lightening agent. Still, it is also used to reduce hyperpigmentation since it contains ample amounts of Vitamin C. Honey is a humectant with antimicrobial activity and can reduce pimples. Use this mask if you have acne-prone skin, as this mask can kill all acne-causing bacteria.

1 Egg white
1 tbsp. of lemon juice
A ½ tbsp. of honey

Procedure
