Yolk face mask

Masks are an essential part of facial skin care. Depending on the type of skin and its age, the ingredients for creating this cosmetic product are also selected. But there are universal products that are suitable for absolutely any type of epidermis. One of them is a face mask.

The benefits of egg yolk for the skin cannot be overestimated. This food product has been actively used in cosmetology since ancient times, and all thanks to its unique features, which are determined by the composition of this product.

The thick and rich consistency of the yolk is due to the low content of water in it, it occupies only a third of the volume. The rest of the product is a mixture of fatty acids, cholesterol and various carbohydrates.

It also contains biotin, which stimulates the regeneration of skin cells and improves its metabolism. It is thanks to this component that the epidermis absorbs almost all the beneficial substances from the masks. Choline and cyonine perform similar functions, as well as stimulate the formation of new cells and strengthen the membranes between them.

Another important feature of the yolk is its compatibility with almost all possible additives. It can be used on its own, but combined with other products, you can not only enhance its effectiveness, but also solve many skin problems.

Another main feature of chicken yolk is the presence of a large amount of vitamins B and E in it. They are responsible for the youth and beauty of the skin.

The benefits that the yolk mask has on the epidermis are invaluable. Most often, such a cosmetic product is used:

• to enhance skin tone. This is especially true for the fair sex over 30 years old. In this case, the yolk can be used both on its own and in combination with products such as honey, clay and various types of oils.
• to combat imperfections of the epidermis. Acne, skin irritation, severe itching are all in the past, it is the yolk mask that not only helps to eliminate these problems, but also, with its regular use, prevents their reappearance.
• to saturate the dermis with useful substances. Exhausted, emaciated skin will be able to regain its beauty and health with the help of masks made on the basis of egg yolk.
• to eliminate puffiness of the face. The stable use of yolk masks improves blood flow and a visible decrease in its swelling.

It is also worth knowing that the yolk mask is also tightening, it has an excellent lifting effect. The face after its application looks more toned, healthy and elastic.

Such a moisturizing yolk mask is able to restore a healthy and beautiful appearance even to very dry skin, and also relieve it of the unpleasant feeling of tightness of the skin.

In addition, masks based on egg yolk also perform functions such as increased blood circulation in the skin, intensive hydration and skin rejuvenation. And most importantly, this product has a powerful antioxidant effect on the dermis.

To prepare face masks using egg yolk, it is best to use eggs from domestic chickens. They contain the maximum amount of useful substances. You can also replace them with quail or, in extreme cases, duck. It is worth remembering that 3 quail eggs are equal to one chicken, and one duck replaces two chicken eggs at once.

Separating the yolk from the protein is not so difficult. You can take a very thick needle and pierce the shell on one side. The desired bag of liquid will remain inside, and the protein will flow out of the shell. Or you can break an egg into a bowl and scoop up the yolk with a spoon. Then gently squeeze it slightly in your hands and squeeze the yolk mass out of the bag into a bowl in which the mask will be prepared.

To prepare all types of masks, it is recommended to preheat the yolk to room temperature. So all the components of the mask mix better with each other, and the nutrients can penetrate deeper into the epidermis. The rest of the ingredients are also recommended to be introduced after they reach room temperature, cold components not only mix poorly, but also strongly tighten pores, preventing beneficial microelements from penetrating deep into them.

When preparing this cosmetic product, it is recommended to use dishes made of materials such as glass, wood or ceramics. It is better to refuse metal or plastic cups.

If all the recommendations were followed and taken into account when preparing the yolk mask, then its positive effect on the epidermis can be assessed after the first use.
