Acne
Egg whites are a good source of protein, and thus can be used to heal and rebuild the skin and reduce or eliminate acne.
Tighten Pores
Egg whites contain the enzyme Lysozyme, which has been found to stop spoilage and acts as natural preservative in certain foods. This characteristic is thought to carry over into skin care, preserving the skin’s natural elasticity and tightening pores.
Soak up Oil
The protein content in egg whites help to absorb excess oil in the skin, leaving the face toned and fresh but not shiny. In fact, egg whites can also be applied to the face as a mild astringent.
Temporary Wrinkle Treatment
In the book, “The Doctors Book of Home Remedies II,” Dr. Jerome Z. Litt, assistant clinical professor of dermatology at Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine, says egg whites can provide a temporary reduction in wrinkles. The protein hides wrinkles and gives skin a smoother look.
