The entire mass of nutrients and minerals that is in eggs allows us to provide decent care even problematic skin. All egg face masks are divided into three groups: those made from the yolk and those made from the whole egg. The effect of each of them will be different because chemical composition The two components of this product are not at all the same.

Failure to comply with these frameworks results in various misunderstandings. If you use pure protein to treat dry skin, areas may bleed and dry areas will tighten into fine lines. Nothing good will come of using yolk for oily skin: it will be covered with an even thicker layer of sebaceous film. Therefore, it is so important to take seriously the indications and contraindications for home use egg face masks. Their effectiveness will be influenced by another factor - the rules for their preparation and application.
About the rules of application
In order for eggs to be truly beneficial for the skin of the face, it is necessary to take into account small but very important nuances in the process of their preparation and direct use.
- Usually, it is recommended to use chicken or quail eggs for homemade masks. But here you need to take into account that in recipes, dosages are most often calculated for chicken. Therefore, using quail eggs, you will need to double the number of eggs.

- There are a great many ways to separate the white from the yolk. You can use a funnel, a sieve, or sleight of hand (but you will have to practice this). The most convenient and proven method is still a funnel, which you can make yourself from plain paper.

- Another feature: eggs tend to dry out on the skin. After just 7 minutes you can feel how your face is covered with the thinnest crust-film. At this point, it is recommended to apply the mask composition with a brush again. The second layer will renew the first and enhance the effect of the product. After 10 minutes everything can be washed off.
- During the procedure, it is advisable to lie down quietly, relax, exclude emotions and experiences, and not activate facial expressions.
- The total duration of the egg mask is about 20 minutes. If the feeling of skin tightness is very unpleasant, it is recommended to wash off the mask earlier.

Secondly, you will please your skin if you use some kind of decoction for this purpose. medicinal herb, which is suitable for your skin type. Third, pink water also suitable for such washes.
- The procedure for removing the egg mask is a whole undertaking, since it has time to dry out quite a bit on your face. First, you need to moisten a cotton swab in the liquid prepared for rinsing and blot your face generously. Then remove part of the mask with this swab. Residues are removed by washing.
- After the mask, you need to apply a cream appropriate to your skin type to your skin and within an hour (this minimum term) do not go outside.

An egg mask is very good for strengthening hair, as well as for giving it shine and pleasant softness.
Egg yolk contains nutrients and vitamins that have a very positive effect on hair condition.
The egg mask nourishes and strengthens the hair roots, restores hair from some damage, makes hair soft, shiny, rich in color. Egg yolk also contains substances that promote hair growth.
The effect of the egg mask is noticeable after its first application. But if you “feed” your hair with such a mask for a certain time (a month or two, one or two masks a week), then the appearance of your hair will change greatly in better side, and it will be obvious.
Which egg mask to choose?
As a rule, an egg mask consists of more than just egg yolk. Depending on your hair type, you can add other beneficial natural ingredients to it.
In my experience, most the best variety egg hair mask is egg mask with honey and cognac , which stimulate hair growth very well.
It is worth adding to an egg mask for dry hair olive oil or Burr oil.
In an egg mask for oily hair There is no need to add oil; it is better to add lemon juice or kefir.
Is it possible to do without cognac? Can. You can also do it without honey. Masks yolk + lemon juice or yolk + butter are also good, but if you have honey and cognac, do not spare them for the beauty of your hair.
Also, as usual, you can add other ingredients to this mask, for example, henna, chamomile or nettle infusion, etc. However, the egg-honey-cognac mask is one of the most popular for a reason: I have seen for myself that the effect of it is wonderful.
How to make an egg hair mask at home?
First of all, remove all the necessary ingredients from the refrigerator in advance: they should not be cold, because... If you apply a cold mask to your head, the blood vessels feeding the hair follicles will narrow, and the benefit from such a mask will be almost zero.
When the necessary ingredients reach room temperature, we begin preparing the mask. Egg mask recipe simple:
- take two eggs, separate the yolks from the whites and place the yolks in the prepared bowl (I make this mask in an ordinary small porcelain mug),
- beat the yolks with a whisk (or fork),
- add honey, heated in a water bath, and cognac to the yolks; grind and beat well.
Depending on the hair type, add:
— for dry hair: two tablespoons of olive or burdock oil, heated in a water bath,
— for oily hair: juice of half a large lemon (but remember its weak lightening properties!), or two tablespoons of kefir,
— For normal hair: You don’t have to add anything, you can add olive or burdock oil, you can add chamomile infusion or nettle infusion (a couple of glasses).
- beat everything well.
The mask is ready.
Here's good news for girls who do it and don't know where to put the yolk - make a mask out of it)
How to apply an egg mask to your hair?
First of all, you need to comb your hair properly and do a light scalp massage. This is of course not required condition, but any mask will work better this way.
The mask can be applied to dry hair (not on the hair itself, but on the partings), gradually massaging and gently rubbing the mask into the scalp and hair roots.
After this, we carefully go through the hair with a comb with very rare teeth, spreading the mask along the entire length. If your hair is very weak and combing makes you uncomfortable, stop immediately.
(Speaking of combs: be sure to buy a comb with wide teeth, but not for 10 rubles, but a professional one. What is the difference? The teeth of the comb should not have nicks or grooves, as they damage the hair.)
After applying the egg mask to your hair, you need to wrap your head with plastic and a thick towel on top. Let me remind you that this is necessary to warm the scalp so that the mask is absorbed better and its effect is stronger.
You need to keep the mask on your head for about 20 minutes, then rinse with warm water (not hot, so that the egg does not curdle!).
How often should you make an egg hair mask?
Egg nourishing mask for hair should be done no more than twice a week, at regular intervals.
If you are doing more than just an egg mask, then do it once a week. For example, once a week – burdock, once a week – egg.
I want to remind you once again of something for girls who have severe hair problems and want to grow healthy hair. Thick hair: unfortunately, one mask is unlikely to help you in this matter if your hair problems come from within. Read the article

You can use both chicken and quail (which, by the way, contain more microelements and useful substances, but which need 2 times more than chicken).
