3. Baking Soda and Egg-White Mask

clothing, hair, hairstyle, cartoon, black hair, Ingredients:
• 2 tablespoons of baking soda
• 1 egg white

Directions:
Simply mix together the baking soda and egg white. Be sure to beat the mixture thoroughly until it becomes fluffy with no noticeable traces of baking soda. Apply it directly on your face and leave there for about 20 minutes. Rinse it off using lukewarm water.

This baking soda and egg-white mask is an easy and effective way to get rid of acne. It helps to reduce inflammation, reduce redness, and cleanse the skin. The baking soda exfoliates the skin and helps to unclog pores, while the egg white tightens the skin and helps to reduce oiliness. The mixture should be applied to the face for about 20 minutes, and then rinsed off with lukewarm water. This mask is suitable for all skin types and can be used once or twice a week for best results. It is important to remember to use a moisturizer after using this mask to keep the skin hydrated.

    Thank you rhiannon. You are 100% correct. I just want to add, ALWAYS patch test on the inside of your elbow first. Just because you can eat it doesn't mean you're not slightly allergic to it, the skin on the face reacts similarly to internal organs to allergies, and can puff up, dry out etc. Honey is especially important to patch test, as every batch has varrying levels of pollen and can easily trigger an allergic reaction. I eat honey every day, with no signs of allergies, but the moment it touches my face it smells and I get dry itchy hives. Diy masks can be great, but they do come with risks of allergic reactions and you need to actually patch test it before use.
