It is common knowledge that egg yolk is not meant for eating alone. It is widely used in cosmetic products. In fact, if that is all you do with egg yolks is to eat them, then I dare to say that you are under-utilizing them.
Here are five beauty uses for your egg yolk, especially on those days you use only the egg white and you think you would have to waste the yolk.
1.Homemade facial mask
Brush the egg whites on your face first then cover it with paper. Brush on some more whites and allow it dry up. Remove the mask after 20 minutes then brush the yolk on your face then wash off with warm, clean water. While the egg whites cleanse your pores, the yolk closes them back.
2.Treating split ends
One way or the other, many of us gave faced this problem. You could simply mix some olive oil, egg yolk, honey and coconut oil. Apply the mixture to the tips of your hair, wash and watch the magic happen.
- Treating acne, ring worms, eczema and burns
The oil contained in egg yolks works wonders on this kind of blemishes. Apply the yolk on a regular basis to the affected areas, leave for at least 20 minutes and then wash off before heading to bed.
4.For dry skin
Beat an egg yolk and add 1 teaspoon of lemon juice, 1 tablespoon of olive oil and rub on the skin for about 20 minutes then wash off every night before bed to impart glowing skin.
5.Strengthening your nails
If you have brittle nails, apply some yolk on your finger tips for 10 minutes and wash off. Keep at it till you see the desired result.
Well done
