Eggs are one of the most nutritious foods on the planet. Eggs are rich sources of protein, selenium, vitamin D, B6, B12, and minerals such as zinc, iron and copper. More than half the protein of an egg is found in the egg white. This egg white is not just healthy for our diet, but also good for your skin and hair. It is a popularly used natural ingredient to achieve flawless skin and gorgeous hair. Egg white mask is an effective home remedy to remove blackheads from the nose.

Egg white mask: How to make and use it

Blackheads are small, dark lesions that are caused when dead skin cells and oil clog your pores. Applying egg white mask can shrink the pores and tighten the skin to keep the blackhead formation at bay.

To make this mask, beat an egg white until it appears white and foamy. Then mix in one teaspoon (tsp) of lemon juice and one tsp of honey.

How to use it: Wash your face with warm water and pat it with a clean, dry cotton towel or washcloth. Now apply the mask to the affected area (nose) using a fan brush or cotton pad. Let this layer dry and apply the second layer. Leave on the skin for 15-20 minutes. Rinse the mask off with tap water. Make sure you wash it well so that the smell does not stay.

Want to another method of using the egg mask?  Paint the egg white mask onto blackhead-affected areas. Place a strip of a paper towel over the areas, and brush on another layer of whipped egg. Let it sit for about half an hour, then peel up and off the strip.
