Home cosmetology is becoming more and more firmly established in the lives of our women. Availability of products, ease of use and effectiveness (with regular use). One of the most useful ingredients used in most masks is a chicken egg. An ancient component that has been helping women find beauty for centuries. The white, yolk and shell are used successfully. Today we will talk about protein.
Miracles of protein mass
Having a delicate, light consistency, the protein is able to penetrate into the deepest epidermal tissues and literally revive cell functions. An egg white face mask will show its results immediately after the first procedure. This unique gift from nature is ideal for:
- Oily skin. Protein will perfectly tighten pores, cleanse them, and rid your face of blackheads (it will help for a stronger effect). It will eliminate excess shine and pigmentation, restore lipid metabolism and dry out the epidermis.
- Problematic dermis. Good remedy to combat acne, its consequences (post-acne), inflammation and redness. Eliminates excess fat and moisture deposits.
A face mask made from egg white will require only 10-15 minutes of time in exchange for youth, purity and splendor of the skin. This is exactly how much protein mass should affect the skin. According to leading cosmetologists, a course of protein products consists of 10 procedures. After which the dermis needs a break (3-4 weeks) to rehabilitate the renewed sebaceous glands.
Every problem has its own solution
Protein masks are strictly contraindicated for dry skin! The protein substance effectively tightens the epidermis and works to remove excess fat. This is absolutely not necessary for a parched face. In other cases, the regularity of protein care depends on the problems of the epidermis:
- excessive oiliness and shine: twice weekly;
- excessive activity of the sebaceous glands: once a week (applied only to problem areas: chin, forehead and nasolabial area);
- presence of acne, pimples, inflammation: every 3-4 days;
- age-related changes, small wrinkles, loss of elasticity: once every 7 days;
- if pigmented areas or abundant freckles appear: once every 7-10 days.
When you carry out the procedure, do not apply the mixture to the delicate areas around the eyes (you can injure the skin by excessive tightening). After application, the face mask with protein dries and turns into a crust. When removing it, be very careful. The protein mass must be removed warm or mineral water gentle movements. Or carefully rolling the dried film off your face.
The best of folk recipes
When making protein mass, the protein is whipped into a stiff foam, after adding the remaining ingredients, the mass is whipped again (lumps make it difficult to spread the mixture). A blender is suitable for these purposes.
With fruits and berries
A fruit and berry protein mask for the face with the addition of freshly squeezed juices perfectly removes the oiliness of the dermis, while significantly brightening it. When adding pulp from berries and fruits, the protein product completely saturates the epidermis with vitamins (this is especially important during the period of vitamin deficiency).
- From juice. Mix the protein foam with lemon juice (5 ml). Instead of lemon, you can take juice from sour apples, red currants or grapes (16 ml).
- From pulp. Add sweet fruit or berry puree (17 grams) to the whipped egg whites. You can take strawberries, raspberries or strawberries.
With honey
A face mask made from egg whites and honey will relieve you of acne, comedones and enlarged pores. This is an excellent tonic that softens and heals the dermis.
- Oatmeal. We make a mixture of protein foam, liquid honey (24 g), olive oil (5 ml) and ground oatmeal. Add the flakes until the mixture thickens.
- With tocopherol. Carefully add melted honey (10 g), an oil solution of vitamin E (5 drops) and lemon juice (6 drops) into the whipped egg whites.
The honey-protein mask is contraindicated if you are allergic to honey, rosacea (we recommend reading the article about) and have diabetes.
With starch
A face mask made of protein and starch is aimed at rejuvenating the epidermis. Starch effectively supplies epidermal cells with oxygen and restores blood circulation. In combination with protein, it improves the functioning of the sebaceous glands, helps against wrinkles and restores lost elasticity.
- Oily. One of the most effective remedies is a face mask made from protein, oil tea tree and starch. It is prepared from a mixture of potato starch (15 g), tea tree oil (5 drops) and protein foam.
- Deep cleansing . Crush activated carbon (5 tablets) and mix it with protein foam. Apply to the face, especially carefully to areas of contaminated pores. As it were, “drive” the mass into these zones. After drying, the mask can be easily removed from the skin along with the contents of dirty pores.
Universal option
- Combination skin. For mixed epidermis, a face mask made from egg white and yolk is suitable. Mix a raw egg, melted honey (6 ml), mayonnaise (10 g) and fruit pulp from kiwi, peach or cherry (18 ml).
- Protein dough. This product is aimed at improving the health of oily, problematic epidermis. Stir cereal flour into the protein foam (you can use wheat, oatmeal or rice). Flour is added until the mass thickens.
Many people, regardless of gender and age, suffer from the problem of blackheads on their face.
Poor environmental conditions, stress, low-quality or aggressive cosmetics, and increased oiliness of the skin lead to pores becoming clogged with microparticles of dust mixed with sebaceous deposits. When the contents of the pores oxidize, noticeable blackheads appear. And despite the fact that this does not cause any physical discomfort, we still want to get rid of them, since a face with enlarged and clogged pores does not look ideal, to say the least.
Modern medicine and cosmetology have developed a number of products to combat any skin problems, but if we look at the description of these drugs, we will see that almost all of them do not contain a single natural ingredient.
While in the refrigerator of any housewife there is a whole natural biocomplex of useful substances that can cope with the problem of blackheads and pimples more effectively than many purchased products.
We are talking about regular protein chicken egg. Egg white face masks for acne significantly reduce pores, dry and cleanse the skin, eliminate oily shine, and also carefully remove blackheads without damaging (compared to mechanical manual cleansing) the skin and leaving no marks.
Preparation and application
Egg mask for acne and blackheads
This protein mask for acne is one of the simplest and most effective, and therefore the most popular masks. To prepare it you will need one egg, as well as paper napkins(you can use paper towels or even soft toilet paper).
1. Carefully separate the egg white. Do not remove the yolk too far - we will need it. Beat the whites into foam. Tear the napkins into arbitrary small pieces.
2. Apply the protein to areas of the skin and immediately glue the pieces of napkin tightly. Treat the entire surface of the face in this way, avoiding the area around the eyes. Be especially careful with your eyebrows; you don’t need to glue anything on them.
3. When the entire face has been treated and taped with napkins, apply another layer of protein on top. Leave the mask for 15-20 minutes until completely hardened. Try to relax your facial muscles at this time, do not smile, do not talk, so that the mask does not come off.
4. With a careful but confident movement, remove the dried mask from your face. If in some places it is painful to remove from damaged skin, moisten the area a little with water. Rinse off the remaining mask with cool water. At this point, the facial cleansing stage is completed, but if you want to further nourish the skin useful substances, then move on to the next point.
5. Beat the yolk a little, then apply it to the skin. When the yolk dries, add your favorite cream on top of it, otherwise it will harden and will not wash off well.
6. 20 minutes after applying the yolk, rinse it off with warm water.
Acne mask made of protein and clay
Beat the white of one egg into a foam, add to it one spoon of any powder cosmetic clay– blue, white, green. Mix the ingredients to a paste and serve clean skin face for 10 minutes. To wash off this mask, wet your face with water and then wipe it off with a napkin or sponge.
This product tightens pores and also cleanses them of deep impurities.
Egg mask with lemon juice
We need the white of one egg, a teaspoon of freshly squeezed lemon juice. Mix the ingredients and apply to a cleansed face with a brush or sponge (since the mask is quite liquid). If you have combination or dry skin, then apply the mask only to the T-zone with enlarged pores or pimples, as its components have a drying effect. After 15 minutes, wash with warm water.
This product cleanses the skin of blackheads and pimples, relieves redness, tightens enlarged pores, has a slight brightening effect.
Honey and egg mask for acne
Mix one tablespoon of oatmeal well with the same amount of honey and the white of one egg. Apply the resulting mixture to the skin for 15-20 minutes and then rinse with water at room temperature.
In addition to the drying and pore-tightening effect, you will receive deep nourishment and hydration of the skin.
Protein mask with tea tree oil against inflammation and blackheads
Tea tree oil is excellent at fighting skin inflammation. When you add it to a protein mask, you add an antiseptic effect to the procedure, suitable for any skin type.
To prepare the mask, beat the white of one egg into a foam and add 5-6 drops of tea tree oil to it. Apply the resulting mass to a cleansed face for 15-20 minutes, then rinse with warm water.
This composition perfectly gets rid of oily shine, blackheads, blackheads, and dries out inflamed acne.
Egg face masks for acne can be done up to twice a week. They have no contraindications, but before applying to the face it is advisable to check the effect of the mask on small plots skin, for example, the wrist, to make sure there is no allergy to its components.
Not so long ago, factory-made products were leaders in the field of cosmetics for women. It was easier for us to buy them and not bother with preparation. But today the question of their quality and price is acute. And we are increasingly turning to homemade cosmetics recipes.
A face mask in a store is not a cheap pleasure. A problematic skin, with pimples and blackheads requires more care and expense. To effectively and inexpensively solve this issue, egg white-based products are suitable.
Causes of acne
Among the causes of acne, there are three main factors:
- insufficient care;
- hormonal changes;
- some stomach diseases.
Pimples are actually clogged pores. The sebum produced by the skin closes the pores, causing inflammation to form where bacteria can enter.
As a rule, acne is caused by internal diseases of the body or hormonal levels. A face mask acts on the surface of the skin and removes cosmetic imperfections.
It will help get rid of acne, as well as improve the structure of the skin, reduce oiliness, and narrow pores only in an integrated approach to the problem.
Properties of egg white
More than 70% of egg white is water.
The rest is due:
- on various kinds of proteins that have an antibacterial and healing effect. True, some of them can cause allergies;
- on fats that can create a protective film on the skin;
- for carbohydrates that have a tonic property;
- for B vitamins that are so beneficial for the face. They perform many functions: protective and rejuvenating, and also restore cellular metabolism, improve complexion;
- on macroelements (calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium, phosphorus, chlorine, sulfur) and microelements (iron, molybdenum, zinc, iodine, copper, chromium, manganese, cobalt), which are also necessary for facial skin.
Naturally, a home-made product contains more useful components, while a factory-produced product contains less due to additional processing.
The effect that egg white has on the face justifies its use for problem skin.
Among them are the following:
- dries out acne;
- cleanses pores;
- whitens;
- increases elasticity;
- improves blood circulation;
- rejuvenates;
- reduces redness;
- normalizes metabolic processes.
The mask with protein is quite simple to use.
Before application, it will not be superfluous to familiarize yourself with a number of tips that will make the procedure safe and effective:
- Are there any restrictions on facial skin type? Yes, this method is indicated for oily and combination skin types. Those who have dry skin need to be extremely careful or even give it up altogether.
- Determine your skin type. A cosmetic napkin will help you here (for example, paper tissues will do). Unfold the napkin and apply it to your face. If there are no spots, the skin is dry, if there are minor spots on the cheeks, it is normal. If there are a lot of greasy marks all over the napkin, it’s oily; if they are located only in the area of the forehead, chin, and nose, it’s combined.
- How to choose an egg? Choose domestic eggs whenever possible. They contain more useful elements.
- How to prepare? The egg must be chilled before application. So there is no need to take it out of the refrigerator in advance. Prepare two bowls for the white and yolk. Break the egg in the middle (for example, with a knife) and separate the white. This requires a certain skill. If all else fails, find a training video on the Internet.
- How to beat? For this you will need either a whisk or a mixer. When whipping, a thick foam should form. But remember, the foam settles quickly, so the remaining components must be added without delay. If necessary, prepare the ingredients before beating the egg whites.
- What not to do? At high temperatures, the protein coagulates quickly. The ingredients with which it will be mixed should be no higher than room temperature.
- Do I need to cleanse my face before the procedure? Yes, it is necessary. Wash with soap. Open up your pores. To do this, you need to rinse your face with not very hot water. It is best to hold it over steam. At the end of cleansing, use a soft scrub.
- How to apply? With a special brush or fingertips. In both options, this is done along massage lines.
- How long to keep? Time varies from 10 to 20 minutes.
- How to wash it off? Be careful of the crust that forms as it dries. It’s better not to pull it off, but soak a cotton swab or towel in water and roll it into a film or simply rinse it off with warm water.
- How often to apply? As a preventive measure - once a week, for the treatment of acne - every other day. In both cases, you need to take breaks (about a month) to avoid addiction.

Among the reviews from those who chose protein products, positive ones predominate. Negative reviews are mainly found when preparing and applying incorrectly or when choosing this method for a dry face type.
In this case, the mixture causes dryness and flaking.
With regular use of egg white as part of facial products, there is a decrease in rashes, increased elasticity, cleansing of pores, and improvement of complexion. Those who have chosen this method for themselves do not recommend applying the mixture more than once a week, as it really dries out the skin.
If there are any cosmetic defects, the face looks untidy. Blackheads occur regardless of gender and age. Of course, they are more likely to form in people with fatty or combination skin as a result of clogging of pores. Increased work of the sebaceous glands contributes to this.
Cosmetology and medicine have gone far ahead; many means have been invented to combat this imperfection. Unfortunately, they do not always help, so you should pay attention to home methods. A protein face mask for blackheads can be easily prepared at home. The main ingredient for such a facial skin care product can be found in every housewife’s refrigerator. Its preparation will not take much time, and the result after the procedure will be amazing.
Why do blackheads appear on the face?
Very often, blackheads are confused with blackheads or pimples. But this is not true, in medicine this formation has its own name - open comedones (see reference book). As a rule, they form on the nose, forehead and chin, causing many problems. If bacteria penetrate the comedones, an inflammatory process begins, and then they turn into purulent pimples.
This problem occurs not only in women, but also in men. There are several reasons for the formation of blackheads:
- improper facial skin care;
- unbalanced diet;
- increased hormone levels.
The main reason is still inadequate care. It is necessary to carefully select skin care products and use them regularly. Don't think that it's too expensive; home methods are very effective in this case. They can be used not only to combat blackheads, but also for prevention.
Poor nutrition also leaves its mark. Eating fatty, fried foods increases cholesterol levels in the body and enhances the functioning of the sebaceous glands. You should saturate your diet with all kinds of vitamins, give up flour and sweets in favor of plant foods.
An experienced endocrinologist will help you adjust your hormone levels. To do this, it is necessary to undergo tests, based on the results of which therapy will be prescribed.

Recipes for face masks with egg
Acne and pimples are usually caused by sebum, bacteria and dirt that seeps into large pores. Their blockage with fat can appear due to uneven hormonal levels, heat, and improper facial care. Oily skin is an excellent place for the proliferation of pathogenic organisms, which, when killed, cause decay in the pores and the appearance of acne.
Protein and honey
Honey is widely used not only in folk recipes, but also in modern cosmetology. It helps fight the appearance of cellulite, tightens the skin, making it smoother, with the appearance of “goose bumps”. The delicacy contains many vitamins. In addition, it promotes blood flow to tissues, which stimulates regeneration and renewal of the skin.
Protein dries, and honey, being a natural antioxidant, destroys pathogenic microorganisms on the surface of the dermis, reduces sebum secretion and rejuvenates. To prepare the mask, you need to beat the white of one egg until foam forms and add a spoonful of honey and vegetable oil (coconut, olive, corn are suitable). For a thicker consistency, you can add oatmeal flakes (1-2 teaspoons). Mix everything well, let it swell and spread on your face. Leave the mask on for 10-20 minutes, then rinse gently with water. The product is not very convenient to use, but it always provides effective impact and relieves redness from pimples and tightens pores.
Honey tightens the skin and makes it smooth.

For very thin and dry skin, applying moisturizer after removal is recommended.
It is important to choose the right sour cream; you should not buy the first one you come across in the store.
The composition should be natural, with the least amount of preservatives, as they can only harm the skin and not help restore it.
The percentage of fat content depends on the goals that are set: if the skin is very chapped and dry, then it is better to use a higher percentage of fat content.
Protein and lemon juice
Lemon juice acts as a disinfectant component; it brightens dark spots, removes the brightness of scars and reduces redness after acne. The mask is very easy to prepare: in a bowl, beat the white of one chicken egg along with ½ teaspoon of lemon juice. Apply the product to the face, avoiding contact with eyes and lips. Lie down with the mask for 30-40 minutes and rinse with warm water. The effect is noticeable immediately, the skin takes on a fresh look, the tone is evened out and the number of rashes is reduced.
