SMOOTH SKIN SECRET – LOOFAH + EGG WHITES
Some celebs have been known to drop big bucks for facials and chemical peels. But that isn’t the only path to a perfectly glowing face. Instead, use an ecoTOOLS™ Bamboo and Loofah Facial Buff to gently exfoliate the face. To keep fresh skin supple, create an egg white mask from one egg and a few drops of fresh lemon juice. Not only do the proteins in the egg white heal and restore moisture, but they also tighten pores. After just ten minutes, you will fell like you have a brand new face.
BONUS: Use the loofah and egg combo on extra dry spots like elbows and knees to ensure streak free sunless tans.
TOTAL COST: About $4.00
VERDICT: Surest way to steal J.Lo’s glow
Loofah at AmericaRx for $2, eggs and lemon at your local grocer.
Does the lemon help with exfoliation from the acidic properties?
Can’t you get salmonella poisoning this way?
Yes, the lemon offers citric acid that will help brighten and exfoliate!
Hi Becky,
You will not get salmonella by using egg white on your face! I have been doing it for years. I like to beat the egg white after adding the lemon juice. Apply on your face and let it dry. It has an amazing tightening and smoothing effect!
Hello, that’s true, egg white is the cheapest alternative to any expensive kind of facial moisturizer. It has the same effect with any facial mask either.
I like this mask too…easy, quick..just make sure you have no active acne or irritated skin. Scrubbing it would make it worse.
This may sound a little silly but how is one to use the loofah on face? After the mask starts to dry and tighten?
how often do you use the egg and lemon mixture?
Cool tip. And for only 4$ it’s definitely worth a try to see if it will help my skin.
