Household Tips for Pimples: The DIY Honey and Egg White Mask

The ultimate beauty secret: this homemade face mask gives you perfect-looking skin. The main ingredient is egg white.

Pimples and blemishes always show up when you can least use them: before castings, dates or photo shoots. There are usually two reasons for this: either your skin reacts to the stress we put ourselves under a day or two beforehand, or we over-care for the skin and it gets irritated. With our DIY honey and egg white mask you can say goodbye to that for good.

 

DIY Honey and Egg White Face Mask as a Household Tip Against Pimples

Honey and egg white are two absolute beauty secrets. Even Empress Elisabeth of Austria knew that back in her day. You can use the following tips every one to two weeks. That way you can prevent pimples and blackheads from forming. If the blemish is already there on your face, this mask can make it disappear faster and help prevent future ones.

 

Our tip: first, you should cleanse your skin. It is best to use a special facial soap for this. Then you should treat your skin to a little steam. The easiest way is to pour boiling water into a large bowl, hold your face over it and cover your head and the bowl with a towel. The hot steam opens the pores of the skin. After about five minutes, dry your skin and then squeeze out blemishes and blackheads. For this we recommend disposable rubber gloves or a tissue. That way you avoid bacteria getting into the skin in the process. This is the most common reason for inflamed pimples. Do not squeeze too hard.

 

After about five minutes, rinse off the water with ice-cold water. This reverses the effect. The open pores, now cleared of impurities, are closed again by the cold water. To strengthen this effect and reduce inflammation, we now come to our DIY honey and egg white face mask.

 

The Recipe for the DIY Honey and Egg White Face Mask

Separate the egg white from the yolk and put the egg white in a small bowl. Add one to two tablespoons of honey to the egg white, depending on need. Honey is very antibacterial and anti-inflammatory. This helps a lot with reddened areas of skin, for example. Mix the egg white and honey with a spoon and then apply the mask to your skin for about 15 minutes. The mask tightens and shrinks large pores. The skin is drawn together and glows after use. On the first application you will quickly notice that, as it sets, it starts to smell strong. But you get used to the smell after the first few masks. After about 15 to 20 minutes you can remove the mask with lukewarm water or a gentle facial brush.
