FROM RUBBISH
FACIAL RECOVERY WITH GARBAGE
Don’t forget
you read it here first
If
you used to throw away the eggshells until now, you might want to reconsider
that. An egg shell is made of calcium carbonate, which is also the main
ingredient in some antacids. Each medium sized egg shell has about 750-800 mgs
of calcium. The shell makes up 9-12 percent of an egg’s total weight, and
contains pores that allow oxygen in and carbon dioxide and moisture out.
The
shell colour of an egg is representative of the breed of hen that produces the
egg. White hens produce white eggs and brown hens produce brown eggs.
We
can get a great facial scrub combining eggshell with other products. Eggshells
must be processed before using.
Take
a few shells from eggs. Wash them in the water and keep the shells in a regular
oven 220° C (400° F) for 5 minutes.
Let
eggshells cool down. Crush it in a coffee grinder to a powder.
This
powder can be stored at a room temperature and may be used wherever you need to
fix the scrub.
Egg facial mask
Ingredients:
2
tsp of eggshell powder
1
Tbsp of honey
1
egg yolk
Separate
the egg yolk from the white. Do you know how to make meringue? Be sure to
learn!
First,
it is delicious. Second, if you often make egg yolk face masks or scrubs, you
are always thinking what to do with egg white. It is unreasonable to throw it
away every time.
Combine
egg yolk, honey and eggshell powder. Stir ingredients.
Begin
to rub the mixture onto the skin with gentle circular movements except the
eyes. Massage your face for 3 minutes paying particular attention to problem
areas.
Keep
the mask for 15 minutes if you don’t feel discomfort. Wash your face with a
soft sponge. Apply your favorite moisturizer.
Nourishing Face Mask
Pulverize
dried egg shells with a mortar and pestle, then whisk the powder in with an egg
white and use for a healthful, skin-tightening facial. Allow the face mask to
dry before rinsing it off.
Treating Skin Irritations
Drop
an eggshell into a small container of apple cider vinegar and let it soak for a
couple of days. Dab the mixture on minor skin irritations or on itchy skin.
