Apart from their nutritional benefits, egg whites can also help you maintain the health and beauty of your skin and hair. Here are just a few ways that egg whites can make you look and feel more beautiful, naturally.
The high amount of protein in egg whites works in two ways to make your pores look smaller. First, they open up the pores making it clean away dirt, residual makeup, and other impurities, which are one of the main reasons your pores look larger. Second, and more importantly, the proteins in egg whites can help tighten the skin, resulting in a smoother, firmer texture.
You can whip pure egg whites until you get a thick, frothy consistency and use it as a mask at least twice a week. There are also ready-to-use products available in the market, like Skinfood’s egg white pore mask. Whichever way you choose, make sure to rinse off the egg white mask with lukewarm water to get the best results.
One of the reasons why egg whites can help reduce the appearance of your pores is because of its albumin content. Albumin, the primary protein in egg whites, helps get rid of excess sebum by controlling its production, thus making the skin appear clearer and the pores look smaller. Removing excess sebum from your skin also makes it less prone to pimple breakouts and blackheads.
If you are using a DIY face mask made out of egg whites and oatmeal, you can try adding some honey to add an exfoliation effect. You can do this once a week for fresher-looking skin on your face and neck.
With its naturally cool temperature (just like cucumbers), egg whites can help soothe and reduce the puffiness under the eyes. Apply a thin layer of egg whites under your eyes, after about 10 minutes, wipe it off gently with a damp cloth and then rinse with lukewarm water. Make sure to apply a moisturizer to keep the skin hydrated. If you’re doing this procedure at night, you can instead use your preferred night cream.
The protein content of egg whites can help lift and tighten the skin, reducing the appearance of wrinkles. Simply spread a thin layer of egg whites on wrinkle-prone areas, like around your mouth, the corners of your eyes where crow’s feet develop, and, of course, the thin and sensitive skin under the eyes.
In the same way that egg whites removes excess oil from your skin, they can also help get rid of the greasiness in your scalp that makes your hair look limp and lifeless. You can apply whisked egg whites to you scalp and hair and let it sit for about 15 to 20 minutes, and then simply rinse it off and follow-up with your regular shampoo and conditioner routine.
Apart from making your hair look more voluminous and bouncy, there are several other benefits of removing the excess oil in your scalp. These include shinier hair (the excess oil makes hair look dull) and a reduced risk of developing dandruff. If you already have dandruff, regularly treating your scalp and hair with egg whites can help eliminate dryness and flakiness in as soon as one to two weeks.
Whether or not you like eating egg whites (or avoid them because you have allergies), there are undeniable beauty benefits from this simple food. Try some of these egg white beauty secrets for yourself, you might just be surprised at how effective they can be.

Beauty and skin care products can be some of the most toxic products around. It is scary thinking that people spread these toxic products all over their skin which is the largest organ in the body. It makes me cringe. This does not mean that I forgo beauty products, it just means that I do my research and choose healthier options. Recently I discovered Mascli. Mascli is on a mission that aligns with my ideals. They want to bring awareness to consumers of the dangers in the products that line the store shelves and beauty care aisles. They want to provide healthier,safer, non-toxic alternatives that are far superior to the products most consumers are using.
I recently tried a bottle of their anti-aging moisturizer called Awakening. Awakening comes in a glass bottle with a chrome color pump top. It is beautiful on the outside but the ingredients on the inside are where the true beauty is. Awakening uses 100% certified organic oils and vitamins E & C, Minerals, Antioxidants and Omega 3 6 9 Fatty Acids. It is a unisex moisturizer perfect for men or women and won’t leave men smelling flowery or perfumey.
You might expect a moisturizer to be a lotion or cream but Awakening is a mix of essential oils and so the consistency is like that. It does not feel greasy and it smells nice. It absorbs quickly and hydrates skin. It is recommended to use 2 times a day so I apply in the morning and then apply my makeup right on top. You rub it on your face and neck with your fingertips in circular upward motion. Highest concentration should be on the brow area and the jaw line. At night after cleansing my face, I reapply and just go to bed. It is really working to hydrate my skin, making it firmer and gives it a healthy glow.
Awakening is a revolutionary product and I have not run across any other anti-aging moisturizer like it. Watch my video review below to see more.

Bees are crucial for our food system. Are you aware that bees and other pollinators are essential for two-thirds of the food crops we eat everyday such as almonds, squash, cucumbers, apples, oranges, blueberries, and peaches.
One out of every three bites of food we eat is pollinated by honeybees. The land around our home is a pesticide free zone and we garden organically and the many sunflowers, perennials and vegetables and fruits we have growing all over are flourishing thanks to bees.
Bees contribute over $20 billion to the U.S. economy and $217 billion to the global economy. Neonics are widely used in the U.S. on 140 crops and for cosmetic use in gardens. Neonics can last in soil, water and the environment for months to years to come. Neonics can kill bees outright and make them more vulnerable to pests, pathogens and other stressors while impair their foraging and feeding abilities, reproduction and memory.
Friends of the Earth U.S. had “bee kits” and “bee’n’bee” houses. The kits contain organic sunflower seeds and resources, a bee-safe and pesticide-free zone aluminum yard sign and other informational materials. The “bee’n’bee”kits will include a mason bee house and resources to maintain the house and create pollinator friendly habitat.
Both kits will include resources that will allow people to get more involved with Friends of the Earth and its #BeeAction Campaign. The goal is that after taking action in their own backyards through the “bee map” and kits, individuals and families will use it to connect and stay engaged with Friends of the Earth and the campaign on marketplace and local, state and federal organizing around protecting bees and other essential pollinators.
We recently received a “bee’n’bee” kit with a mason bee house and resources to create a pollinator friendly habitat. It is advised to hang the mason house on a tree, fence or your house about 3-6 feet above the ground in an area that gets morning sun and afternoon shade. It is also advisable to have a wide range of annuals and perennials for the pollinators we are attracting.
