Masks made of natural products are nothing new. For a long time, women have been using ingredients to keep their skin in the best condition. After all, there used to be no drugstores with entire aisles full of masks. This one in particular appealed to women in the Polish People's Republic. It is cheap, easy to make and effective.
A popular mask in the Polish People's Republic. It will help moisturize and cleanse the skin
One of the most popular beauty tricks of the Polish People's Republic was using raw egg white as a face mask. Women knew that thanks to it they would not only eliminate the first signs of aging, but also cleanse, moisturize and gently exfoliate the skin. It was not only a simple but also a cheap way to get rid of skin irritations and redness. Moreover, the protein mask also helped in the fight against recurring acne and prevented the formation of new imperfections.
For the beneficial effects of a protein mask, we can primarily thank the lutein present in the protein, which not only perfectly tightens, but also tones and improves the elasticity of the skin. Moreover, the egg is an excellent source of elastin, albumin and collagen. We also cannot forget about the presence of vitamin B2, which fights free radicals, thus delaying the aging process. Anti-inflammatory cysteine narrows pores and regulates sebum secretion. It is also worth mentioning the potassium contained in the protein, which has moisturizing properties. As a source of vitamin A, egg white also improves the appearance of the skin. Egg white can also be used on dark circles to reduce puffiness and restore a healthy appearance to the skin.
Protein mask. Various recipes
There are lots of different recipes for protein masks. We can choose different ones, depending on the effects we would like to achieve. For example, if we want our egg white mask to help us fight wrinkles, we will have to beat the whites of two eggs until stiff, and then add a few drops of fresh lemon juice and a bit of melted coconut oil. Apply this mixture to your face and leave it for about 15 minutes. After this time, rinse with lukewarm water.
We can also prepare an anti-wrinkle eye mask from protein. For this purpose, we will need one egg white, a tablespoon of finely grated carrot and a teaspoon of aloe gel. Mix all ingredients together until a slightly foamy consistency is obtained. Apply the mixture to cleansed skin around the eyes and leave for a few minutes. After this time, wash it off under lukewarm water.
We can also prepare a protein mask that will help us fight blackheads. We will need protein, a tablespoon of sugar and two teaspoons of cornstarch. Mix all the ingredients together and apply to the face. Leave the mask to dry for about 15-20 minutes and then very slowly remove the mask from your face. Any residue can be rinsed off with lukewarm water.
