Quick Fixes #1

#1 White Egg mask for pesky whiteheads and blackheads 

I want to reveal to you an egg mask that I’ve tried out for a while. I am happy with the results though it took practice to become a pro at it.  

Make sure you don’t keep egg on your face for too long. Less than 10 - 15 minutes will do because you will end up with small pimples all over your face. 

-          You will need:

White egg

Tissues

First make a mixture of white egg to apply on the areas of your face where there are whiteheads or blackheads. Most common areas are on the forehead, nose and chin area.  

To make this mission easier, tear thin tissues into small pieces that would fit your nose, chin etc. it doesn’t have to be accurate as long as it covers your areas of whiteheads and blackheads.

Then apply this mixture by layer. Apply the first layer on the areas of concern, let it dry then apply another layer and so on. Apply 3 - 5 layers. This will take around 6 minutes or so. Once the last layer is half –dried, take your tissues and put it on different parts of your face. If you apply a thin layer, it will take less time to dry. I recommend applying thin layer rather than a thick layer. 

Carefully apply another layer of egg over the tissues and allow it to be dried. When it is dried, pull the tissue gently in an upward direction, and you can see a lot of whiteheads and blackheads attached to it!

Finally wash your face gently and thoroughly to get rid of the egg mixture, and apply a hydrating moisturizer as white egg can be drying. You will notice a tightening effect, and your nose will be so smooth. It is amazing! 

In my first attempt I got a lot of whiteheads and some blackheads on the tissue. I was so surprised because I didn’t expect this in my first try. This is a cheaper and natural method of eliminating pesky skin concerns. 

Do this only twice a week not every day. Don’t be frustrated if you didn’t get this right in the first attempt. Once you practice you will get better at it and you will get good results by trying this method. 

Have you tried this? What were your results? 

#2 Lemon Treatment for dull and uneven skin tone

The smell of fresh citrus is refreshing and calming. It is a great method to even skin tone. 

To use the lemon treatment, cleanse your face well. Then make a diluted mix of fresh lemon and water. A teaspoon of lemon and water is sufficient to cover the whole face. 

You can try this method at night or even during the day if you have time. Using a cotton pad, apply this mixture on your face in upward motions. Leave it for 15 – 20 minutes, and then wash your face with water. Apply your favourite night cream and you’re done! I prefer using Sukin Moisture Restoring night cream. 

Try this for one week and you will notice your skin is getting brighter and smoother, and your skin tone is becoming more even. 

This is the natural way I have discovered to even out skin. I have tried a number of products that claimed ‘even skin tone’, or ‘for uneven skin tone’, but sadly didn’t work and was a big disappointment for me. I found this lemon treatment helped to lighten my uneven skin tone around my mouth and forehead. People complimented me on my smooth and bright skin tone and I am very happy with this method. 

You may notice some stings when you first apply this mixture. That is because the lemon is doing its magic for the skin. I would advise those who have sensitive skin to be cautious. Since I have oily combination skin, my skin doesn’t react to the acidity of the lemon that is diluted with water.
