Egg Whites

[Jax]

I was reading a mag in yet another waiting room the other day, and someone had written in saying that their mother told them to dab egg white under their eyes to firm them up (no good for vegans obviously).

I've never heard of this before and wondered if there was anyone that had tried it and what results they'd had??? :confused:

LOL I've been a kleptomaniac over the years when it comes research and articles. I was having a sort through of some bits today and came across another nourishing face mask recipe :o

Apparently this is from Robert Hallowell - The Kitchen Beautician

Mix 1tbsp of honey, 1tbsp of polenta and 1 egg yolk, then massage gently on clean skin. Leave for 25 mins, rinse well and moisturise. Apparently the honey is a natural skin plumper, the egg yolk moisturises while the polenta helps eliminate blackheads.

Here's one for dry skin - I have it in a file on my computer so can't credit anyone with it!

Beat the yolk of an egg until it is light and frothy, then add the mashed pulp of a half avocado, blend well. Cleanse your face thoroughly then spread the avocado mixture over the face and neck evenly and relax for about 20 minutes. Remove with clear tepid water and a face cloth, followed by a rinse of cold water or a mild skin lotion. The result should be a marked improvement in skin texture, and all-around revitalizing.
