3. Precautions when using egg white mask
Egg white masks are very ideal for women. However, to use egg white mask effectively, you need to keep in mind these:
- Only apply a sufficient amount of egg white mask on your face, not too thin or too thick. It is important that you do it regularly and consistently.
- If you only apply an egg mask once a week, the nutrients provided are not enough to nourish the skin for the next 6 days, so it is not very effective. However, if you apply a mask every day, it will lead the skin not to absorb all the nutrients, which is an adverse effect.
Therefore, it is best to apply it only 2-3 times a week. - Before applying the mask, it is necessary to wash your face thoroughly to remove dirt, making it easier for the skin to absorb nutrients. Use rose water after applying the mask to tighten pores and firmer skin. Moisturizer can be applied to dry skin.
- After applying the mask, the skin is very delicate, easily burned under the sun, so it is not recommended to expose the skin to the sun. 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 rested, so it is easier to 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 others. To reduce the risk of allergies, before applying any mask, test a small amount of the mixture on the back of your hand, wait for about 15 minutes. If there are no abnormal symptoms, you can safely use it.
