[thrive_drop_caps color=’red’ style=’1′]Y[/thrive_drop_caps]our kitchen is a veritable beauty spa, and eggs are one of the most important beauty aids you’ll find in it. A beauty mask made with egg white doesn’t cost a fortune, and it won’t take forever.

Unlike a facelift, you’ll have no recovery time, where you look horrible, but will see the results almost instantly.

You can combine the egg whites with many other ingredients you find in the kitchen, such as avocado, yogurt or carrots.

By using other ingredients with the egg whites, you’ll reap more benefits and double the age-fighting power.

Egg whites contain high amounts of collagen and a significant amount of protein. It also has vitamin A. All these nutrients help the skin.

The protein in egg whites help build/ increase the skin’s elasticity, but it also tightens the skin, to eliminate or reduce the wrinkles you already have.

The collagen and vitamin A can help heal your skin and regenerate skin cells. If you add carrots to the mask, the beta carotene in them changes to retinol and also aids in softening and toning it.

What You Need:

• 1 egg white
• 1 tablespoon finely shredded carrot
• 1 teaspoon aloe vera gel

Directions:

① You’ll want to whip the eggs a bit before you combine it with other ingredients. If you’re using carrots, shred the carrots and use only the regular sized ones.

② Baby carrots are put through a process that uses harmful ingredients and makes them almost useless for beauty treatments.

③ You can also add aloe vera to the mix for a cool refreshing feel. If you use avocado, mash the avocado first. Brush it all around the eyes, making sure not to get any in your eyes.

④ You can extend the mask to your entire face if you have extra. It won’t hurt anything. Just allow it to dry for at least 20 minutes or longer, and then rinse it off and apply moisturizer. Your skin will feel luxuriously tighter and years younger.
