Egg and honey face mask helps with many skin problems. What compositions can be prepared from the listed ingredients? What are the features of such cosmetics? Is it true that these masks are effective? You will learn about all this from the article.
What are the benefits of eggs for the face
Eggs are rich in lipids, iron, phosphorus, magnesium, sodium, vitamins A, D, E, essential acids omega-3, 6. Yolks have softening and nourishing properties. Protein dries out oily skin. Most of all, masks with eggs are suitable for the combined type of epidermis. Lack of vitamin A has a bad effect on the skin - irritation and peeling appear.
Lecithin in the yolk is an excellent emollient for dry skin.
For people with excessive work of the sebaceous glands, masks with oat flakes, flour and kefir are suitable.
How honey is good for the face
Honey is a good helper for dry skin and good for acne related problems. Contains natural sugars:glucose, fructose. Together with essential minerals and antioxidants, they make honey the best base for the preparation of natural cosmetics. It has an antiseptic effect, so it is effective for acne. Improves the processes of lymph flow and blood circulation. Thus, nutrients are absorbed more efficiently. The result is a radiant, he althy-looking complexion that vanishes tired and pale looks.
General rules for applying masks
Face mask (honey, egg, lemon) will be even more effective if you follow certain rules:
- Apply the composition to cleansed skin. It is better to steam your face with a hot towel or steam (the pores will expand and absorb more nutrients).
- Use caps or headbands to protect hair.
- Oily skin is best prepared for application with scrubs.
- It is allowed to heat the mask in a water bath to improve efficiency, but not much, since honey loses all its usefulness at 80 degrees.
- Thick honey is best for making blends - the consistency is thick and easier to apply.
- If honey is liquid, gauze will help. It must be cut into ovals equal to the size of the face with slits for the eyes. The blank is dipped into the mask and distributed on the face.
- Do not exceed the exposure time of the mask - 30 minutes.
- After application, it is better to take a relaxing pose and do nothing.
- Wash off the mask with warm water (not hot!). after usefulsplash your face with cool water.
- After masks, it is necessary to lubricate the skin with nourishing creams or lotions.
Emergency help for dry skin
After taking a shower or simply washing, dry and normal skin sometimes needs emergency help. Hard water has a negative effect on the epidermis - it dries and tightens it, peeling appears. To deal with this problem in a short time, you need an egg and honey face mask with the addition of oatmeal.
All of the listed products should be taken in the amount of 1 teaspoon per yolk of one egg. Squeeze juice from a lemon wedge. A well-mixed composition is applied to the face with fingers or a brush (a hair dye tool can also work).
Before applying, hide hair under a bandage. It will be useful to prepare the skin for the mask using the steaming procedure. To do this, soak a towel in hot water, wring it out and spread it on your face. After 2-3 minutes, it will be possible to apply the mask on the face with a thin even layer. You need to make sure that it does not get into the eyes and around the eyes. The exposure time of the composition is 15 minutes. After you need to wash or remove the cosmetic product with wet wipes for the face. Next, be sure to apply a moisturizing or nourishing cream. You can do a light patting massage with your fingertips.
Nourishing and tightening mask
For women aged 25-30 who already have a problemslight sagging skin, an egg and honey face mask with olive oil will be useful.
You need to mix with one yolk a tablespoon of olive oil, add 3-5 drops of lemon juice. Apply the mass on the skin in an even layer. Ten minutes will be enough for the beneficial ingredients to be absorbed into the epidermis. After you need to wash with soft water and use the usual cream.
This face mask is gentle and not aggressive on the skin. Honey, egg, olive oil well nourish and fortify the epidermis, smooth fine wrinkles.
Mask of yolk and sour cream
For dry skin in winter, the next face mask will be the salvation. Honey, egg, sour cream - these ingredients have vitamins and nutritional properties. After regular use of such compounds, the skin becomes soft and radiant.
For cooking, you need to mix the above products in the amount of 1 teaspoon with the yolk. Apply to a clean, steamed face and keep for 15 minutes. After washing off in any way.
Sour cream mask has another recipe. In the composition, in addition to the already known ingredients, there is cottage cheese - 50 grams, lemon juice - 6 drops, pharmaceutical vitamins in ampoules B12 and B1 (1 each).
Homemade face masks with honey and sour cream have a mild, completely non-aggressive effect. They are ready at any time of the year to carefully and safely care for even the most sensitive and problematic skin.
Express mask forfaces
The face mask (honey and egg), the recipe of which is given below, is the easiest to prepare. You just need to mix the two products and apply the mixture for 15 minutes. Rinse afterwards with warm water or cosmetic wipes.
This procedure will help to quickly bring the skin in order before an important event.
Egg and honey face mask. Flour Recipe

There are little tricks for using flour masks. Wheat flour is suitable for owners of a fatty type of epidermis, and rice and oatmeal are ideal for dry ones. The composition should be homogeneous and not have lumps.
So, to prepare a cosmetic product, you need to mix flour (2 tablespoons) suitable for your skin type with egg white, previously beaten into foam. Add honey to the mixture - 1 small spoon. For best results, apply the mask regularly, twice a week, for 10-30 minutes.
The yolk makes a good nourishing face mask. Egg, honey, vegetable oil (it is better to take olive oil), oatmeal or flax seed flour are useful components of a cosmetic product. For 2 tablespoons of flour, one yolk and one spoonful of fresh honey are taken.
Mask for mature aging skin
This unique composition of the mask not only has a rejuvenating effect, but also improves complexion, tightens pores and eliminates inflammation. Of all the recipes listed, this cosmetic product is the most effective. It consists of:
- Honey - 25-36 grams.
- Flour (any grade) - 10 grams.
- Quail egg.
- Milk - tablespoon.
First you need to mix the flour, milk and egg so that there are no lumps. At the end add honey. Keep the composition on the face for 18-20 minutes.
Contraindications
Honey can cause severe allergic skin reactions. Before using masks from this product, you need to test on a small area of \u200b\u200bthe skin. To do this, a drop of honey is rubbed into the wrist. If after 10-20 minutes itching and irritation do not appear, then you can safely use masks from the bee product.
Masks cannot be applied when:
- open skin lesions;
- spider veins on the face;
- herpes and pustules;
- high body temperature;

Carefully add lemon juice to the formulations. For dry and sensitive skin, it is best not to use this product.
Don't abuse honey-egg masks. You can get the opposite effect. Even more acne has been reported. It is optimal to carry out the procedure once a week.
Face mask (honey and egg): reviews
There are two options for reviews of masks with honey. And they are opposite. Honey either did not suit women - it caused allergies and irritation. Either the result of the use of masks delighted them.
For young girls, honey compositions help in the fight against acne. But masks need to be applied regularly and systematically.
More mature women like the softening properties of masks. The result of the application can be assessed after the first use. Skin is touchable and soft, smooth and hydrated.
I like masks with yolk because of their ability to smooth fine wrinkles, despite the fact that the result is noticeable only after systematic use, after a month.
